Look.... as I said before... nobody really wishes him dead. There are songs from many clubs in our game that aren't always in good taste... songs about getting a gun and shooting opposition fans... I'm sure nobody wants to do that either. It's simply a way of showing him how bad the fans feel about the conduct in which he left the club. In 2007 we needed performances... especially from our big players and ones we considered to be loyal to the supporters and the chairman. We all knew Coley was leaving... but he was a disgrace that year. He wanted to leave when he agree to sign for Wigan.... he was asked to honour his contract in our hour of need... he wasn't allowed to leave so he chose to play in a way that could have destroyed our club. He performed twice... against Wigan. It was the most obvious showing of a lack of professionalism I have ever seen. He was running the ball in with no effort... carrying the ball loosely in a way he never had before and showing no remorse when he was losing ball on the first tackle.
Perhaps people should come along to the game against Huddersfield and see what sort of reception Hodgson and Korkidas get... players who left with dignity... who wore the shirt for the fans and made the effort to keep us in Super league that year.
I'm not trying to justify the singing of these songs... just trying to explain why the Salford fans feel so hurt by what he did.

There are PLENTY of ways to give opposition players flack without having to wish them dead (joke or no joke).
Defending it shows you guys up. Well done to the supporters who are embarassed and critical of the chant - shame not enough of you take that stance.
