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!!

Thats right, twas me who mentioned it. Hall was out of the country for a month at his house in France, Portugal, Spain . . . . . .(somewhere in Europe) and team affairs were left in the hands of Calland and the coaching staff.

And didn't they do a great job in his absence.....

if that is true then sounds to me like Hall probably knew and f###ed off to drop us in it.

Why on earth was he allowed to take a holiday during season Director of F### all

So Hall went on holiday before the game because he knew what was going to happen? Are you seriously suggesting that?

Wouldn't be too sure, he taught me PE, and I'm still awful at RL

No it is just show how badly run the back room staff are when the supposed chief goes away at the time of a cup match

With stan doing tactics and skills and bally doing fitness and moves I think it could work

The fact that M Hall was in Spain doesn't mean he was not responsible as Director of Football for overseeing all football matters. I have never felt Calland was the right man for the job but I sense this appears to heading for a major injustice. With Hall away I am sure Calland would not have had the total
authority to sign a player, agree terms, issue a contract without at least passing the deal via one of the remaining directors. If Calland did so well he deserves to be dismissed for gross misconduct. But he acted within his authority it is a different matter. I just find it very strange if this was the case buy hey you never know. Either way it hardly fills you any confidence that the Club Directors & Management are running the club in a competent, professional
and responsible manner.

Jbfax you really are boring.

The whole why was Martin Hall on holiday when should he go on holiday? We had this whole debate last year....he is not the coach. Most of his job is done off season signing new players so he therefore has to go on holiday at some point. Stop posting stupid comments without knowing what his job entails, its just embarrassing

when we got into trouble after fielding jamie thackray,it was our chief executive(james rule)who got the blame,as he was the one who sorted that side of things.are people saying that calland deals with all things regarding players contracts?input,yes-final say,surely not!!.who is actually responsible for dealing with the player's contract?director of football?club secretary?directors?whoever dealt with the contract etc,will surely have looked into everything!!!it looks to people on the outside that calland has been made a scapegoat,considering most people have an inkling that he has an uneasy relationship with his board.

Why are you all trying to draw your own conclusions about who is & who isn't to blame? Were any of you actually present when Ostick was signed or team was selected for Swinton? NO!
An internal investigation is taking place which will consider what role was played by Calland, Hall & Ostick (plus others) - just be patient & wait for the outcome in due course
