Thought PV would be given longer but my hunch now is that they will bring in Brian McClennan.

But even the man himself has said that was down to Long?



Just watched Paul Anderson on sky sports news, he wasn't happy with the decision!



Noble till the end of the season with Tim Sheens After the world cup?

Fair to say Anderson won't be in line! Seemed genuinely angry about it.... Veivers well liked in the game

Not seen it but it's got sod all to do with him so he can feel free to get back in his box.

Is he available now? Would make more sense than putting everything on hold until the close season.



I read something online where Chalmers and Lowe were accused of forcing him out of the New Zealand job so I'm not sure how that squares with all of this.

I wasn't aware of that.

Simms has been linked with a return to Leigh.

Feel a bit sorry for him really, he's had to put up with a lot during his time here, beginning with McRae, then Parrish, and then all our financial problems. His position was always going to come under scruting with the new management though, and I think it was inevitable that he'd end up being sacked - didn't think it'd be this soon though.



I think we must already have somebody lined up, I don't think he'd have been sacked if we hadn't.

Well he does have the best win ratio than any Salford coach is our 134 year history.

I'd put money on a coach all ready to step in. When we got took over it was clear that the management wanted a complete fresh slate, and I'm thinking that it was only a matter of results before PV went.



A shame, as he's been particularly unlucky in his tenure as a first grade Coach. Sure he'll bounce back, coaching game is a ruthless affair in any sport.

just a question how quick he can get he's visa

Ed Farrish has pretty much just confirmed on Radio Manchester that it will be an Aussie & Tim Sheens is on the list. Longy stays as assistant along with Highto, Hunte in charge for now.
