Agree entirely with the initial post. The board are a bunch of dithering idiots. apart from SM why are the others there? As a club we should be looking to expand the club, increase attendances and expand the stadium, but instead crowds have been dropping at an alarming rate in recent years.

If Gleeson was sold to stave off the taxman that lies with the people who run the club.
Ask yourself what does the club do to look after us, the fans? All there bothered about is making money from sponsors etc.
Also I believe the handling of the Jimmy situation was an outrage, they should be ashamed of themselves for making him sit in that press conference.
Jimmy was not to blame, the whole attitude at the club, players etc like in any business comes from the example the board sets.
SACK THE BOARD!

Hope he starts his new clique asap.

Could somebody explain the in-depth, unquestionable RL knowledge that Eamon McManus, the well known financier and Tony Colquitt, the Sales and Marketing Director posess?

I have no idea what our board do, and I suspect that I am not the only one on this thread.

SACK THE BOARD!!!!!

sack u two

Who two?

U2

spot on there

also, we need centres

We have Loose forward and a halfback as our first choice centres

Give me a break!
We were bizz today. And?
I didn't see Doug Hoyle missing a tackle or Mr Moran dropping a simple pass. I watched a team of "proffessionals" way off the pace with no excuses. It was a terrible game from both teams as far as skill factor was concerned. Basically not up to standard.
Maybe it'll be better on Monday against a better team, maybe not. Maybe it wont get much better all season. At the end of the day we're NOT a championship winning team so what's with all the blaming and high expectations?
Tony Smith will do a better job with our club than anyone has over the last decade or so. The board gave him the job and have put their trust in him. From what I can gather, so have we.
We got beat at Salford. OOH EER. Not for the first time eh? But it's hardly a crisis.
Maybe we missed Briers today, lots of posts couldn't wait for the Bridge/Monahan partnership, maybe we missed Glees today, or Riley...Penny...Reardon.???
Maybe Mr Cullen had a quiet word with Mr Moran and suggested that Mr Lowes should carry the 1st bottle of water on the pitch for Mr Carvell and he said NO which is whay we didn't play so well??? Exactly.
WE NEED TIME TO EVOLVE AS A NEW TEAM UNDER TONY SMITH
"Sack the board"? You're an idiot..you're fired

The board are partly to blame for the performance today, the board are partly to blame for the drop in attendances and here is why

The board made decisions that had a negetive effect on Cullens ability to have complete control of the playing squad. He lost control of the dressing room because of 1 or possibly a number of decisions that the board made.

That same board who once Paul Cullen had gone promissed a wold class coach but then failed to sign him and then panicked and put Jimmy Lowes in charge because he won a few games a coach remember who Salford that beat us today said wasn't upto coaching them.

That same board then allowed their new coach to bring in a fitness conditioner who has similar qualifications in conditioning a team as most of us.

The players are not fit enough for Superleague and are now competing after a preseason put together by a coach that Salford did not want and we are reaping the benefits of that.

Crowds are dwindling partly because of the times we are in but also because of the fare that is being served up on match days, people pay to be entertained by the team that they support but when playing badly, they can spend that cash on a day out that they will find more enjoyable.

So ultimatley the board are as culpable as the players and the coaching staff in my oppinion. I don't think they should be sacked but they need to learn from the mistakes that they have made and make sure they don't happen again otherwise people may be calling for heads.

What is needed now is for the ship to be steadied under the leadership of Tony Smith and we should all be ploughing forward together in search of the ultimate goal which is of course a trophy but bigger attendances from the fans and more pride and passion on show from the players who have a desire to play for our club.

"Wreck the club" maybe a bit of an exageration there, Clark and Reardon are both internationals as selected by another coach not PC plus we have actually got worse since PC left FACT!
