If----- and I'm still not convinced he's coming, as the Doc said he was due over a week ago------Tim Sheens ever gets over here, then I will feel a lot better about the whole situation.

I wouldn't be in the least surprised if Koukash and Sheens already know who the next Salford coach will be. You don't get shut of a head coach at this crucial stage of the year without a plan. It takes time to find the right man and we certainly haven't got the benefit of this before the vitally important middle 8's.

No-one can blame us for not getting over excited by the arrival of Sheens - when did the club last do something right?

I'm serious here, and I really don't want to rake over old ground, but honestly, when did we do something that we could all look back on with some pride?

I am open to suggestions: player signed (that has achieved his potential), decent run of performances, coach, etc.

Everything we have done (dare I say since the best days of Rhino's tenure) have been disastrous. Even the half decent players we have signed (Holdsworth, Moon, Patten, Chase, Locke, Hock, etc) have let us down or under performed in one way or another. Throw in acrimonious departures, the expensive big 'push' in the final season at the Willows (including 'that' last ever game), court cases, the drain of young talent, the new ground fiasco, our coaching merry go round, attempts to promote the club which always seem to backfire (the family fun day for HullKR at home three years ago beset by driving rain, Warrington at home this year, Saints on Sky last season, jeez Castleford in the snow ), no club shop, etc, etc. My head is hurting...

On Sunday our club is flinging open it's doors to the world and his dog. And we don't have a coach in place to guide the players...

Spot on. The most enjoyable era was In 2005 & 2006 with Rhino. Supporting Salford then gave you a buzz and you could feel the positivity around the place.

This is what I hoped for this year but it's been a disaster.

1st half of the 2005 season I'll give you, but 2006 we hardly won a game - let's not gild the lily here!

I think you have got confused with 2007. We finished 5th place in 2006 and started the year with a 6-24 win at Warrington.

Sorry - you're quite right - yes we had a season & a bit of positivity before the usual gloom & doom set in

Yes it might be an expensive squad,but its no good.How many would get in the teams above us.We have deluded are selves.I know one or two on this forum think Sheens is the Massiah,well we will see,I wish him all the luck in the world he will need it.In fact I don't think he take the job,not if he as any sense,why would you spoil your reputation with this lot.

You could argue that these players have gone backwards since they joined us.
