'" The reality is we’ve never have sustained success and a lot of the imo comes from our lack of academy success.
Fans expect big signings E.g Seymour, Reynolds, Gale, Evans, Holdsworth, Fonua (2nd time) and then when they fail they are used to crucify the club. Majority of which the club have had to pay off.
There’s also no patience from our fan base, during our early season wobble there’s was a few loons starting the Smith out bandwagon.
If we want success we have to be patient and support the club during these tough times. Salford have had a few good years of success by picking up left overs and unearthing gems. Hopefully we can follow suit whilst we get our ducks in a row financially.
I’ve also heard so many people want a fans forum, yet isn’t Jamie shauls testimonial one been cancelled due to lack of interest?
A lot of the time, the club can’t win. The way i see it is Pearson has the most expensive season ticket out of any of us and needs support moving forward and not opposition.'"
A lot of the frustration goes back to the cup wins and the expectations thereafter. Not just the wins themselves but the fact we were competitive in SL and on the verge of being serious challengers for the competition.
Since then we have been absolutely appalling. A lot of it is down to our woeful home form and a series of absolute hammerings when the players clearly threw the towel in.
The recruitment and the management of the cap has been terrible. Compare 2016/17 team to what we have now.
Smith's appointment as the first genuine trophy winning coach we have for years filled our expectations. I still think that given time he can improve us. How long that will take is anyone's guess.
Mid season we had notable wins against Saints and Wigan and even in defeat we were competitive. Things were looking promising.
The last few games culminating in Huddersfield debacle and the recruitment so far makes you question are things going to get any better next season.
