It it a step forward to replace one coach who won Superleague with a very good team that didn't need much coaching but managed to win the National League, with another coach who won Superleage with a team that didn't need coaching but couldn't come close to winning the National League?

Big mates with Steve Simms isn't he??
I can see a power-struggle if this comes about with McRae leaving/being forced out. Not too bad a thing IMO.

Sounds Like a ' [iFait Accompli[/i to me .

If I remember McRae's exit at South Sydney it was done by bringing in a new coach , initially under him, then relieving him of the coaching duties and shuffling him upstairs until he got the message .

far be it for me suggest deja vu here..

Difference being Salford had a much stronger squad in 2008 than Leigh in 2010!

A coach can only take a team so far, the biggest factor is finances and the quality of players/squad a team can afford. Unfortunately it's not always a level playing field!

Could Fergie manage Wigan Athletic to win the Champions League?

Could this be what Smithy was on about when he said Mcrae's days are numbered

As long as he's not in charge of The Red Hot Flames I'd be happy.

I'd think that if Millward Gets the job it is as a precursor to him getting the full job come the end of next season. As I was moving I only listened to the game last weekend and afterwards he did say that he only had one more year coaching at Salford and you got the impression that he wouldn't even try to get rehired.

I would think the one person who'd job would also be at risk would be Mal's as I'd think that Millward would would at some point bring in Robbie Paul as his #2 and don't think there is/was any love lost between Alker and Paul.

I very much hope that Millward doesn't get the job as infighting for a year would be a bad thing for me and think we need to be aiming much higher when we are looking for our next coach.

NO!! Lets not go mad, the rugby genius is working minor miricles producing gareth owens The rugby genius has already got the top job @ the club because having good youth means you have a good future unless he wants to be a superleague coach and he states that why change the only thing that works @ the club

Think it'd be a bad move, hes not better than McCrea I think, one is bad enough, but two.

I can't see it happening but if it did I'd remain open minded. Both have proved they can win things with quality players. If you consider we will have what looks a much better squad next year, having two experienced coaches around could possibly help the team as long as they are both capable of working together.

Lets not forget the club have been one light in the backroom staff dept since Scott Naylor went. By appointing two new extra coaches surely this can only benefit the individual players and the team as a whole. (More coaching time for specific smaller group training sessions, etc?)

Oh jesus i have only just heard this im praying it doesnt happen we already have one useless coach with about no comitment why do we need two of them.

Both useless in my eyes.

Who would you choose then? i know Alan is enjoying his role that he is doing, as he mentioned this at a forever reds meeting. i think that if an oppertunity arose that a position would be available then i would prefer Hunty rather than Millward. He only won things with Saints as like Mcrae they were a great side that didnt need much coaching. Either you or i could have coached them. What has Millward done since?

You're talking out of your backside. Both McRae and Millward are extremely dedicated coaches. Millward is also very passionate about his teams. Whatever their qualities as coaches may be - and we were happy with both of them, but especially loved Millward - to question their commitment is to truly talk out of your backside.
