They've gone for what i would say are a safe pair of hands.

Yes easy option really . Would of liked them to go for an English coach though .

That would be the Phil Veivers that they didn't think was good enough for the job 6/7 months ago?

Phil Veivers has lived in England for many years and his son Josh who plays for Wakefield was born here. If he ever returns to Australia it will be only to retire.

Correct, but i don't think Salford had much choice to be honest. If they had appointed Brian Noble would the money be there to bring in the type and quality of players Noble would want, i have my doubts.
Lets hope from Salfords point of view that now Phil Veivers has the job on a permanent basis he could put his own stamp on the club knowing that he is not keeping the seat warm for another coach to move in.

Fair point george, espically seeing as this is a big season for Salford with the new stadium etc.
But from what i remember he wasn't doing a good job then, and i just wonder what's changed, agree about Noble and money.
It's not a bad time to try an unexperinced new coach, as with no promotion/relegation, and the fact Salford proabably arn't going to lose there lience for SL in 3 years. he's got less pressure in that sense.
