Parrish took over a side that was un fit for me he was right what he said about club FEMA for me is a waste of time over wait and so in fit. So tell us what. Parrish said was wrong. Also he maintains club was miss sold and name one game where we were fit we could not play for 80 mins. He got players early in training for this reason. And please tell us one thing Simms as done for are club. If it is so well run club why ain't we up there with the best. A well run club would be organised why ain't we got training kit. So come on butchers red let's here this information on this most perfect club. Cant wait to read a response

So that makes him best coach in super league does it. The club again come out with same tripe every year we have best coaching set up in the league if so why don't we win out club talks crap

I'm not sure I follow your logic there. That'd be like someone digging out a couple of your old posts and going "look, he's maybe not an illiterate moron" and me going "oh, so that makes him Britain's greatest novelist does it?"

I appreciate that the above scenario is unlikely, what with you being an illiterate moron, but still.

Eccles why do you post on the Salford `FANS` Forum. You don't go to matches and won't be going to Barton - so you contribute no income into the club - so why bother posting. Nobody (except maybe lance & Wardley) is interested in your continued ill thought out drivel.

Excuse me I have had a season ticket for over 32 years so I have a right if I feel that somethings not right to say what I think if you don't like tough go home to mummy and cry. I am completely fed up with way club treats its fans and am in support of some mates that were stewards for 20 years that got sacked why should I put any more money into a club that talks crap and treat you like they dont give a p.s don't forget your dummy

Best reply I have ever seen

I'm quite comfortable with PV being the new coach. The players seem to like him, and we didn't do [itoo[/i bad under him last season. Given the addition of Long and the new conditioner too, I don't think things will be as bad as some people are expecting. However, it's wholesale changes from the top down that are ultimately needed, so I don't think it'd make much difference whoever we had in charge. Regardless of coach, we'd still have the same budget for players, and it's always the players that make "typical Salford" schoolboy errors, not the coach.

As for getting bums on seats, we could have done better than PV, and indeed some of our signings. It's a winning team though that'd be the best way to increase attendances.

At the end of the day, all we can do now is get behind the club and hope for the best.

And he is probably a lot cheaper than any Aussie coach or top class English one.Funny how a few months ago he wasn't considered worthy of head coach but now he is.Maybe the board would have done better had it openly said money is tight. Good luck to Vievers any way he was a decent guy when Swinton had him as coach a few yeras ago.

Feel for Veivers really as he must have broad shoulders to be overlooked as not the right man for the club, to then be the man they want. He is the cheap option as far as Salford are concerned, with no doubt no replacement in numbers in the coaching department ie saving on what they would have paid Parish.

Wilky has reverted to type with this appointment and no doubt by the end of it Veivers coaching career will be over/ruined.

For me an uninspiring appointment but I wish him well.

MM I'd hope that Phil will employ another assistant coach to replace himself in the new set up, preferablely a defensive coach. Be interested to see what they do next whether they employ another assistant or sign another player or 2

Personally I feel another assistant would be a better investment.

Another prop is needed definitely. Aside from that, I don't think we're a million miles away from having a decent first team. Not great strength in depth though.

A defensive coach would be a good catch too, we seemed to leak a lot of points under Phil last season.

Who is about who can fill that role tho?
