I like us all don’t know the full facts but as the website as stated, perhaps there are genuine personal reasons and nothing more. I know really unlikely but still we just don’t know.



He clearly wasn’t meant to be for us and we now have to move on. I know were all panicking about nobody wanting the job but are you saying there is no one out there who wants a seat at the top table? We are after all a Super League club for the next 3 years, we have a brand new stadium and all the facilities that come with it, a mid-table squad at present so someone, somewhere is already rubbing their hands at the thought of getting a shot at this.



The other thing is, there’s certain comments on social networking sites that seem to imply that he might not be missed as much internally as externally which is the most important thing.



Get Powell in and have Long / Vievers / Hunte as his back room team. I would take that anyday.

I have nothing positive or optimistic to say about salford rlfc and the men who are incharge of running the financial part of it



The bright light at the end of the tunnel was our big chance and it has now passed us by



Think small and you will be small and eventually disappear

I think its finally sunk in

He must be upset he's refusing to reply to my facebook message

1) Terrible appointment to start with (just speak to people inside the game); surely questions must finally be asked about the people responsible for making these dreadful calls.



2) Pray to god they don't approach Dunemann (again, speak to people inside the game)



3) The really worrying thing: a) if we were dumb enough to overlook credible candidates first time around (Powell, Noble etc), what's the chances of us wising up now?

b) Why would any credible candidate be interested in working for a such a shambolic club?

They've basically said yeah we won't take action against you as long as you keep schtum about us.



We need to vote with our feet, boycott one of the friendlies or protest outside.

"We are after all a Super League club for the next 3 years, we have a brand new stadium and all the facilities that come with it, a mid-table squad at present so someone, somewhere is already rubbing their hands at the thought of getting a shot at this."



NO NO: we were warned that we had to improve and the SL authorities did say they reserved the right to end a SL licence at any point in the 3 years if they felt that the club was not inproving.



Re protests: do you want Wilky walking away because then we'll be in a more parlous state than Crusaders?



Oh well at least I now have a fresh excuse for continuing alcohol abuse.

2nd June:

It's a pretty prestigious position," Parish, 42, told BBC Radio Manchester.



"I made a few enquiries along with a number of other people and was lucky enough to get the job.



"It is a club with a lot of tradition and the future looks bright. There are a lot of young players and we have a fantastic new facility on the way.



18th August:

"I don't mind challenges, but you need to see change if you want to improve, you need to see change," he told BBC Radio Manchester.



"I know if I can get some change, I know we can get some improvements, but the club definitely needs to change."

"It's not just all about finances. It's about providing a club and an environment that people want to come to.

"The thing that has surprised me the most was that I wasn't expecting what I was coming to.



"If you talk to people from other clubs, and in the Super League in general, they've all got an opinion about Salford and unfortunately it's probably not the one it's not what we'd like to hear."



"At the end of the day, moving to the new stadium isn't going to fix the problems at Salford.

I've been brought here to do a job and I think I've been very honest and up front with them from day one, and the job that they want me to do, and the job I want to do, are probably not, at the moment, the same."



17th November: Resigns.



Can't really blame him can you?

I have a feeling he may have been offered the Manly job.

Yep agree totally Solly. They will attempt to brush all this under the carpet. It will be interesting to hear the fallout when he arrives back in Aus as I'm sure the story will come out then.



If we can get a substantial amount of people to boycott a game and all stay outside the stadium, especially during the build up games, could that affect the club getting it's saftey certificate? Am I right in thinking they need a minimum number inside the stadium on each build up game to get the certificate?



Now that would be a great time to do it. But we would need the numbers to do it. A handful of us will achieve nothing.

I'm sure it won't take you too long

Just listened to this again.







no club bullsh*t statements needed, he said it himself.
