Would the conclusion to draw from this outcome be that Michael Ostick mentioned the fact that he'd already played in the Cup, but Calland ignored it and picked him to play against Swinton anyway?

I'm sure that will be part of the investigation. I think the next move will be to suspend Ostick as well, for the reasons triran has just given. Not necessarily guilty but it gives the investigation chance to achieve their findings.

I don't know what to make of all this, heads in a spin, I do have my doubts with Matt but as the seasons underway and the lack of any other candidates who stand out for the role I was just going along with him in charge. No calls for Rhino to be given the job if Calland goes please.

Mate, in business if you are suspended there is no going back!

normally ends in compromise or sacking... relations between MC and the club have now past the point of no return.

As someone mentioned, Gene will be the new coach until further notice.

Probably true that, I'm sure the club and Matt will blame each other but however you look at it the relationship has broken down now to a point where its unrepairable I'd say. Time to move on.

The only way the club was going to get any credibility out of this whole farce was by making a high-profile sacking / suspension. Fair play to the club for having the balls to do it.

But what experience has he coaching?

Remember last time we promoted someone as player coach with little experience??? Keep him as a player, let Bally take over in the mean time.

I think the RFL would have given them no choice, probably the condition to be met to avoid fine

it will be both

I reckon we should let Ned and Cov take control of Sunday's game personally...

ITS ALL YOUR FAULT

has Michael Steel been in touch yet

go with that,lol


whatever shayfax says is 100% right,,lol

Utter dross - I have worked from some very large international firms where suspension is part of the rules in order to conduct the investigation. If there is an accused party - they are suspended until innocent or guilty. Just like this case.

I've heard Anthony Farrell is looking for a route back into the game. Who better to take the reins? He knows your club inside out.

Stan has done a lot of coaching and been taking some of the training sessions this year. He has a great brain but he will definately need help.

Bally will do a good job.

I know he is not a fax boy but what is jimmy lowes doing

Sack Faz

Well that's how it works in nursing - tho, when someone has been suspended there have been very few incidents I can recall where we hadn't got a reasonable idea of what would be the outcome of an investigation!

mmmmm..... and I bet everything is rosy in the garden when they return from their "humiliating" suspension!

When innocent and proven innocent. Idiots who continue to attach the party are more foolish. I have seen people suspended just so they are out of the way of investigations.

Made me chuckle did that.

One of the nicest families you'll ever meet. Smashing genuine decent folk. And Get ready for another Farrell hitting SL in another 2-3 years time!

You have to wonder what a 'football manager' i.e. Martin Hall actually does for a job then? As you'd of thought the idea of this posistion was so the COACH can purely concentrate on COACHING the team and any administrative issues taken on by Hall???

As mentioned earlier you'd have to presume Calland knew about it for him to take the heat for the reason above!

Or is this just the board using this as reason to get rid without a pay off for other issues?

I think someone mentioned that when we played Swinton, Hall wasn't in the country. Maybe thats the reason why it appears the fault lays at Callands feet.

U might laff at my earlier posts but your short term answer to your coaching predicament is Andy Proctor your conditioner and Bally as assistant. Trust me on this Andy has the makings to be a top coach given the chance.

He should be he lectures in coaching!!
