Quote: simonsays "Thewlis would appear to be bullet proof. The coach Anderson is his Puppett and follows out his instructions. Conditioner Brown and now Purtell are shown the door but the Fat controller keeps his job. Players have come and gone and replaced by Aussies claiming their Pension funds. Nothing will happen but it would be nice to see the expression on the face of Thewlis when he looks at the banner.'"
FYI: recently discovered the real reason Brown left from someone who knows him personally and he wasn't shown the door. He was offered a new deal but his business was doing really well so he decided to concentrate on the gym etc. It was a while after this happened that Salford came in with 'an offer too good to turn down'
He wasn't shown the door. Purtill wasn't shown the door either it's a decision based on family.
