As if anyone believes owt The Gamecaller spouts. Lol!

Calcott just signed sting how he loves working with Simon, she why say that if he is going in 3 months

I thought the same thing , maybe he’s been reading this forum n thought f..k it .

Just said the same thing to Peter Hanson , we ll see

Confirmed on the club site that he's leaving a the end of the season - personally gutted that he's leaving. In his time here he has on several occasions been subject to campaigns to get him to leave - it'll be interesting to see how long some posters on here give his successor before pushing for his removal. Thanks for some great times over last 4 years and good luck in the future

Great timing before a loss at london . His decision mak8ng has always been flawed

Jesus wept someone’s being sprinkling penis seeds on your forehead.

So you think he just decided that at 6:55 tonight?

Why announce it just before the semi-final then? Personally, i think he has taken Fax as far as he can. Let's just hope he goes out on a high.

Personally think mick gledhill has taken great delight in being a sh*t stirring c**t so their hand was forced, we was supposed to be announcing another re -signing but obviously that little gimp ruined it - fuming

Maybe cos news has got out as it often does, Gledhill had already posted on social media. Possibility or rather probability is the club and players may have known for some time and were waiting for a suitable moment. But that won't suit the narrative of most on here.

Think its for the best for everyone how it has happened. Saves the board having to get rid of him, Grix can leave on his own terms, and gives us plenty of time to try and find the right man for the job. It wouldn't surprise me if we already had someone in the bag and its just been forced on us with the timing. It will give some of the players a boost for Saturday as well especially those that have been on the outer and think they may now have a future at the club.

Bring Finn back

I’d go murrell n widdop assistant player coach if the budget allowed .

I think the last Fax coach nobody moaned about was Chris Anderson. But even then folk weren't happy he displaced Colin Dixon. I'm sure the next in line will be revealed sooner rather than later before it's official, there's no escaping social media. Alex Murphy my choice. Now he knows a thing or 2 !

Probably no secret that he would eventually get a superleague assistant gig. Just look at Lingard. He deserves his opportunity. Murrell wouldn't 't be my first choice. Hope we go down the route of a younger coach whose been in a good environment or under the tutelage of an effective coach i.e Marhsall, Grix. Wouldn't be surprised to see Scott but i'd say more than likley Finn. Maybe was a longer- term plan to get him some time at Dewsbury and then back to Fax. Maybe Lee Greenwood?

Well all the Grix haters have got what you want.

He was more than likely going to go to a SL gig at somepoint.

But all the slagging off has probably helped him make his mind up quicker.

I’m happy for Grix to leave on his own terms and get a crack at working in a full time environment in SL. He deserves it. He came in after Marshall and steadied the ship. He’s certainly done well with the players and budget restrictions he’s had to deal with. Don’t think any of us will forget the semi final day out in Bolton anytime soon!

A bit harsh. I don't think anyone on here "hated" Grix, just put forward their opinion that they thought he had taken the club as far as he could. As I say, just opinions, so don't get your knickers in a twist. I'm sure, in the past, you've criticised a player or a coach yourself, unless of course you're one of those self proclaimed "super fans".

To be fair to UptonFax some have been wanting him to go for the last 3 years

I don't think anyone hates Simon Grix, some people have vivid imaginations. Wanting a change of coach is very different to giving out abuse. I personally think this whole scenario has come to a logical end where all parties come out of it satisfactory. SG gets himself into SL, Fax get a new coach which if Simon wasn't a well liked local lad would possibly have happened earlier and the board will have no compensation to pay. On that note if he has negotiated a deal with Hull are Fax due compensation? Three to four years is about the norm for coaching positions and this news will give us time to appoint a new coach who will have the time to put his own input into next year's recruitment. All in all not the worst situation to find ourselves in. Plus as SG's supporters have stated, we are still in a play-off position and the very real possibility of an appearance at Wembley. Wouldn't it be great if Simon went out with a trophy, or two, on his Fax CV? Up The Fax!

I don't think its down to anyone's imagination, you need to read back through some old posts including your own - as his time was up over 2 years ago according to a number of you on here!

Agreed, hudd-shay, and I remember Tony Smith himself saying it's best for a coach to move on after 4 years (even though he spent 7 years at Warrington!).

I suppose Fax can take some pride in being a breeding ground for assistant coaches. Cannot remember the last time one of our head coaches moved on to be a head coach of another club. Maybe Mal Reilly to Newcastle Knights? Peter Roe went to Keighley. Can't remember what happened to Steve Linnane. (The rest (Marshall, Farrell, Anderson, (Murell (an interim coach remember!), Anderson, etc etc went into oblivion or assistant). Ah, just remembered Matt Calland who went to Rochdale. Where's he now?

Didn’t t Linnane go to Salford?
As for S G good luck to him, I have put my pennyworth previously, and will leave it there.
As for the new coach, is Liam Finn ready, I know he has done a job a Dewsbury, however with some of the fickle people on here it will only take one loss for the knives to come count again, must be like being Julius Ceaser being Fax coach with all those ‘friends’ flashing knives about.
