Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote ="Huddersfield1895"
The Red Devils has been treading water for years. Marwan Koukash will get it right sooner or later.
As far as I'm concerned the more money men we have in Rugby League the ">better.'"
If you try something enough times and for long enough, the laws of probability dictate that eventually you will get it right but the bare facts are Salford are spending more money on better players for exactly the same result. In fact, they have on paper arguably their most impressive squad in 30 years yet are in real danger of going down.
I don't mind money men but Koukash comes across as someone who's answer to everything is not to sort the problem but throw money at it and if that doesn't work throw more money at it and if anyone questions you, or doesn't agree with you, don't talk or discuss just get rid. A master of self promotion but incapable of promoting Salford because it is his name that he wants to see in the media not the clubs.
I doubt that Tim Sheens will fare any better than Harris or Noble because, like Noble, he knows the game & will have his own idea's which will get him replaced if they don't match Koukash's and lets face it, Sheens isn't an idiot so has little chance of agreeing with Koukash.
I do feel sorry for the Salford fans and wish them the best. It's not pleasant watching your team constantly under perform especially if you don't see an end in sight.

Quote ="Leaguefan"If Salfords players are not giving 100% then they are taking money under false pretences because that is not professional. It dosn't matter what the boss says, he wouldn't have to if they were doing their job. It would seem they are not.
If being shouted at and being called names etc, really upsets you, then you have a problem, but help is available. You could also change jobs if you don't the company you are working for like other people do.
Just remember, he who pays the piper calls the tune. If you don't like the tune, pay more or find someone who will play your tune at the price you want to pay.
FWIW there is no right answer to this kind of situation, people react in different ways as has been shown, just by the comments on this forum and Mr McDermotts comments.(I wonder if as a marine, his officers talked nice cool and calmly
 icon_wink.gif" alt="icon_wink.gif" title="Wink" /> )'"
Someone's "100%" is a variable thing. It varies with numerous factors both physical and mental. In the same way as a clubs conditioners are there to prepare the players to get the most out of them (predominantly) physically, a clubs leaders are at least partly responsible for the mental side of things. If you want a player's "100%" to be higher then treat them well and get them to "buy in" to the club. If you want to treat players like sh|t then their "100%" is likely to be lower.
It's the same as in any job, if you properly motivate your workforce you'll have a much more efficient and effective organisation than if the only motivation is through threats and negative motivation techniques.
I'd also imagine the vast majority of officers McDermott encountered in the Royal Marines spoke coolly and calmly. They're trained to do so for good reasons. |

I have a question then.
In your opinion and based on the factual data available, how much has the improved engagement with the fans (note...not the clique) improved things for the club as a viable professional business.
Please also refer to the number of long term fans on here who have said that if the club move to Trailfinders Sports Grounds, that they will no longer follow them even though they are now apparently re-engaged and to St Joey of Parra in referencing the newfound engagement, as it is he who you hold 100% responsible for the players and fans interacting at the end of a game.

For some reason he has copied a post of mine from the london forum......given his recency, I'd suggest a newbie mistake of straight forward trolling.
