We were in massive debt at that time. Selling Harris and Sculthorpe saved our club.

If we were financially better of I think Harris would have stayed.
I'm not so sure about Sculthorpe. Never heard him utter a fair word about the Wire. Its all saints saints saints from him.

And??...... Warrington was merely a convenient route into Super League for him - We were p!sspoor at the time and so its acceptable he would want to forget his short time with us.

Its like Saints' fans complaining that Lee Briers doesn't exactly wax lyrical about his time with them??

I'd read his auto before you shout anymore RD

Sculthorpe doesn't slag our club off, and, iirc, he's quite complementary about us.

Harris however, is less than complementary about us, in his (soporific) auto.

Harris engineered his move out of our club, starting in the summer of 96, with some less than helpful interviews. We were still (to normal species) financially ok (maybe the club's hierarchy didn't want us to worry).

Sculthorpe brilliance (or was he and Vagana just shining in a e side) ensured he was sold, as we were definitely financially loved, and we HAD to sell.

Harris leaves a nasty taste. Sculthorpe, despite his niggles/gamesmanship against us, doesn't upset me nearly as much.

Where Harris has been a head coach he hasn't exactly covered himself in glory. He replaced Noble at the Crusaders, where they were a playoff team, and they just fell to pieces. He's been Wales head coach but they were probably the most disappointing team at the last World Cup losing all their games to Cook Islands, USA and Italy.

I think Koukash has blown it now at Salford. I used to think he was a potentially positive influence in the game but he has done it all wrong.

Noble was the one chance he had - an actual top coach going to Salford, that would never have happened without Koukash. But his interfering, public criticising of the coach and knee jerk reacting just meant it was an impossible position even for a top experienced coach like Noble.

A novice like Harris, with Long as his assistant, is going to go the same way as Phil Veivers.

Expect the rest of the season featuring more disappointing results, Koukash getting angry on Twitter and assuring Salford fans that he is as angry as they are and he does not tolerate failure. Harris to go either by the end of the season or at the end of the season.

As for Noble I wouldn't say no to him coming to us.

I think nobby would appreciate non interference from moran and broomhead.
Unlike Koukash and Leneghan.

i would cant stand the bloke..one word sums him up.......JUDAS

Any suggestion that Koukash is an eccentric, who loves the game, tells it like it is and is a fresh of air in a wealth of stagnation can now be finally dispelled - he's possessed of the worst kind of arrogance, surrounded by yes men, blinded by money and power and a total loose cannon.

In other words, an ideal bedfellow for Harris.

They only need Long to invite his Dad along as nutritionist and Andy Greg to pop up as conditioning coach and the asylum will be open for business, with the good Doctor welcoming all with a flourish of his twitter wisdom.

Hehe, I wondered when someone would mention Longys dad. I would have threw a jibe in myself but it would have been opened season on me from SC or FMC.

cant be long until the good doctor (or his wife) tries to interfere with team selections.

No that doesn't happen at Salford MDc.

The Dr has been successful somehow I guess (unless he inherited it or stole it ), so he must have some business acumen, but it certainly is difficult to spot it in his dealings at Salford given recent goings on

No he didn't. He's been on Radio 5 Live RL discussions, he's been on Fighting Talk on the same radio station quite a few times. He's only not been seen on TV a lot because BBC have only just started their CC coverage.

And now that they have, who is one of the studio guests? Oh look, it's Brian Noble.

No personal insults please WY

The capacity of Nobbys media work had reduced when he under took the role at Salford.
Certain games would make it impossible for him to do both.
I would have thought that was obvious and didn't need to be highlighted!!!!!!!!!!

Right, so now it's gone from "giving up" media work to "capacity of media work has reduced"?

Come on Duck, make your mind up.
