A reasoned debate?.. Constructive suggestions?..




Good luck Shaun...

The reality is:
we were poor away from home last season,
we are an unattractive/poor side (bad defence, one man drives and slow play the ball),
we were poor away from home last season,
we were hammered at home in the play-off final and nearly lost the final,
there has been little improvement since he took over, and
he has done a worse job than KH.

The only questions he needs to answer are:
why?
what is he going to do about it?, and
why does he keep making excuses?

This smoke screen of wanting a chat is ridiculous all the man does is talk us to death- it is on the playing field where it matters.

That's not a good article and really doesn't do much for Shaun's PR. It essentially reads as "Well, if they think they know more about coaching than me then lets' hear it", when the attitude should be "I'll show them what I can do as a coach by getting my team up for competing in games".

I actually feel sorry for the guy. Like every Salford coach I have known hes got crap material to work with. None of our players are good enough to be anywhere else. What is the man supposed to do, turn water into wine?

I know we can go on about the manner of the defeat and showing some pride and I agree with all that and that is Shauns job and that is where he is failing and needs to buck his ideas up immediately. I don't know what goes on behind closed doors but I am sure he's not sitting there telling the players he's happy with them and they're doing a great job. He's got a bunch of losers to coach and he can only do so much.

Harrison did a pretty good job of that the year we made the play-offs...

In my opinion. The biggest request ALL fans would ask for is for the Team to show more, Pride, Passion and Effort during games. Which makes for better entertainment and therefore will increase crowds and put big smiles on Reds Fans faces. Dispite the result........ We knew it was going to be a long hard season anyway. So common Reds lets see the pride in pulling on that shirt every week.

McRae is surprised by how fierce the criticism has been? He thinks it's down to short termism? He doesn't worry about his job anymore and answers to those who pay his wages?

1. 145 points in 3 games, how fierce does he want it to be?
2. I've been waiting 30 odd years for Salford to perform, hardly short termism?
3. I, along with the rest of the Salford fans pay your wages Mr McRae!!!! The board of directors merely redistribute our money!!! Drop the arrogance and start listening!!!! You don't want a meeting, you want us to shut up!!!

Agreed.
