Should make some really interesting reading, no doubt he'll say how professionally run we've been over the years he was at the club

Look forward to that - hopefully there will be some genuine insight in to the running of the club, rather than just mud-slinging.

Bring back interdicts and the Index Liborum Prohibitorum quickly.

I'll have to get that pre booked for the kindle.

Whatever revelations he has to report wont be his fault though no doubt....

Ghost written by The Daily Star eh? mmmmmm........

Foreward by `Dantes Inferno` maybe?

oops hope that means he won't bare all on page 7 .

the tone is set -provocative , which is just what we don't need after last seasons malarkey.

I'm not that rose tinted to think our club is beyond reproach , but it's looking like battle lines are being drawn between Alker & the Club and it sounds like a fight to the death , not good .

I reckon everyone will need to watch their salt intake until they get the book as massive pinches are going to be required when they start to read it.

The most worrying thing here is that the position Alker is in ( ie not currently a successful coach / assistant coach) means that the only way he would get a reasonable advance for a book is for it to offer a scandal.

Shame, as if things had been different, he may even have been head coach by now.

I suspect we dont have the spare cash for a legal battle so he may be onto a winner.

It could be the truth,nothing but the truth,

Could be but I doubt that with the standard of Ghost writer it's going to be written in a level headed and subjective manner.

I doubt the Pulitzer commision are going to be queing up for a first print edition.

I was told that Malcolm's wife was his ghost writer for his advertiser column any one know any different?

Norman Owen has a ghost writer for his advertiser column

Click the link on the OP

"Alker, who retired at the end of the 2010 season, has been working on the book with Daily Star rugby league writer Julie Stott."

When Malc Alker had his column in the Advertiser he was contacted on a weekly basis and interviewed and asked his opinion on various matters by then Sports Reporter Dave Lawrenson. Sadly the Sports section of the Advertiser has gradually but steadily gone downhill since those days as has the Salford Advertiser in general.

Looking forward to reading it to be honest it will be good to read about "the alker" years at salford, lots of crazyness which us fans dont know about being aired

I wonder if it will talk about all the Charlie parties that certain players used to allegedly partake in?

So after publication and you are a Club Chairman - would you employ him?

Though, to be fair, you could have said the same on the publication of "Longy: Booze, Brawls, Sex and Scandal"

Trust me this book will be a good read for salford fans, from what i know you will learn a lot a bout goings on behind the scenes that you will never know.
Even though for legal purposes no names can be mentioned, which he was contacted and advised about, you will be able to assume who he is talking about.
Malcolms walk away from the club was an absolute scandal and he was being fixed up to leave without pay, i know the full story and those involved but whether or not you will hear about all of it due to legal reasons you will get a good idea about things revolving the termination of his contract.
It will be a great read as rather than partying stories which it will contain stuff there is a lot more about other people connected with the club and goings on etc
Malc is a good honest bloke, who served the club well.
Wilky and simms will be the first to buy and read this book as they will be cacking there pants trust me !!!!!

So in otherwords he's gonna make himself look like a saint and blame everyone else?

No Fungus everyone knows there aint many saints in sport, malc will admit he was no saint and his book will tell you that, but if your referring to him leaving the club please bear in mind Malcolm was settled by a compensation package from the club and was cleared of any wrong doing.
Malc gave a lot for this club and stayed with us through thick and thin and for you too start saying stuff like that is totally wrong, you tell me any player that is the best at any club and has never done anything wrong i would be in shock.

I can't wait to hear his side of the Jacksonville story. Wonder if he's been taking pointers off Suarez and Terry?!
