New owner

so here I am my first post, please don't be offended it is my own personal opinion.
The perfect storm.
Marwan took over when we were about to go to the wall, for that we should all be thankful. unfortunately he was ill advised. He brought together a selection of professional rugby people who he didn't know, to advise him of the best way forward with the club, how could he know these so called advisors, when he had little knowledge of rugby league, obviously by the man that runs the game, who first got him interested in the challenge.
This was his downfall he trusted people who were only interested in making a fast buck from someone in business who was an achiever on a grand scale but he didn't realise that in such a small sport there were so many sharks. He will have to hold his hand up and say whoops i've been had.
We are at a new ground in an area of Salford that is difficult to get to or from, owned by a council that as no experience of running professional sporting arenas, on top of that we now live in a city that in the last ten years as changed its demographic from white working class to a city full of people from around the globe, whose only purpose his to support there families from where they originate. They have no interest in Salford Rugby League Football Club, unless they can make money from it.
I remember being told when super league/sky was first envisaged that all our prayers were answered. Mr Tarry said with this money we just need to build a new stand on the Weaste lane side with new changing rooms and various new facilities and that would set us up for the future.
So many false dawns, yet other clubs have been allowed to plod on with poor grounds, yet on the playing side they have progressed. Good luck if you can get away with it.
I recently heard a comment from the chair of the RFL that quote" I run a company that turns over £68mill every year so why should I listen to one chairman of a club". My reply to such arrogance would be " so out of £68mill turnover you can only make a £200 thousand pound profit, perhaps you should look at your own position.
While he collects his air miles lets look at the game on the field. Why have we allowed it to be slowed down, why have we allowed the rules of the game to be diluted by poor refs and then allowed coaches to dictate how the game is to be played. The rules are the rules, please read the rule book and administer approprietly. The scrummaging is embarrassing the paying public do not know the difference between a prop or a winger. Lets get back to basics.
As a club we have been up against it, as a city we have been up against our bigger neighbour, the name of Salford is slowly being extinguished from the map, we must fight against this we have to make people aware of our proud rugby club and make our club be something as a city we are proud of. If not we will become another feature in a museum.
Sorry if I bored the pants of you all, but I needed to get it off my chest.

Couldn't agree more about some of the people who've been appointed and the advice he has been given.

Graham Lowe was rolled out when the Doc first took over and very quickly disappeared without a trace, can't see him doing it for peanuts, the name escapes me but an English guy from the Titans came over for a brief time and then scuttled off, Noble came in and brought with him old school thinking and invested in mercenaries & tried to turn us into Bradford circa 2001 and failed miserably, we appointed Iestyn Harris when many in the game said he was not a coach of quality and then the pièce de résistance Martin Vickers who's name will forever be a byword for incompetence.

For me if he'd have got a Sheens type figure in the first 12 months and gone for a strong big name Aussie coach and left him to do his job we'd have been basking in our new found stability and success by now.

Should also add that the Doc has had some incredibly bad luck, we sign a player of the stature of Kevin Locke and he (long before his brain imploded) gets injured and can't even carry a water bottle and then the bridge on the bypass from the TC to Barton collapses preventing the improvement to the transport situation.

And get the 'Salford' name back on the badge!

Your right MR with bad luck, but that seems to be a common stream from the day we moved to the new stadium. Perhaps there was something in the Indian burial ground theory.
Carnsteri im afraid I will have to disagree. From a playing point the old scrummaging system, whilst not pretty was a facet of the game in its pure form, six comrades against an equally determined six, who ever mastered the scrum, had a good chance of winning the game, also for your backline it gave them room to put on all kinds of moves, this was due to the fact that forwards were tired due to the work put into the scrum, this made for exciting rugby out wide. What we have now the scrum is formed(in the most loose way). When the rules changed as forwards we felt redundant instead of tearing into one another in the scrum we would be having a general chat, "how's the missus and kids" or "how's your season going". Fresh as daisies we break from the scrum and tackle any back that needed it, so again the game slows down, thus limiting the spectacle. One more point, how many great backs can you remember in the last say 15 years with the new laws, as opposed to the 15 years previous.

Wow a call for old fahioned scrummaging! I remember the interminable amount of time the scrum took, the resetting took longer and then a penalty anyway. And the reason for the difference in back line moves has nothing to do with scrums just defences being a whole lot better and more organised. There's less time to to be creative and less thinking time on the ball and percieving the gaps (of which there are Less!). Looking at out of date scrums as the answer is a bit like imagining Grammar schools can solve educational problems in a modern world and cure poverty to boot! Sorry redfan!
