It is on the Courier Twitter feed that he has left the club but nothing on their site. Might have been twitter hacked but unlikely.

I have changed the thread title until it becomes clear. Keep anything defamatory off here please. |

I hate half stories, this is the courier Twitter page, so someone there has heard something (unless its been hacked). Need a quick denial or confirmation.

Well the impression I get from seeing Calland on TV post match is he isnt keen on effectively being nobles assistant so maybe thats it, who knows, strange timing though.

Wasn't Noble due to be leaving soon? Very surprised seeing as any new coach (and I doubt this would be Noble for any longer than the rest of the season) won't be able to make any changes to the squad.

| Now on Courier:-
Quote HALIFAX’S Grand Final-winning coach Matt Calland has left the club today by “mutual consent”.
The shock announcement, only five days after Calland saw his side beaten 20-16 by Leigh in a dramatic Northern Rail Cup final, comes less than 48 hours before the club host York in a Co-operative Championship clash.
No reason has been given for the departure of the former Bradford Bulls player, with a joint statement saying only: “Matt’s period as coach has been one of the most successful in the club’s history.
“The directors and staff wish to place on record their sincere appreciation of his contribution to the club.
“We look forward to welcoming him back to the Shay in the future.”
Assistant coach Damian Ball will take charge for Sunday’s clash with the Knights.
Calland, who originally arrived midway through 2006 as assistant to incoming coach Martin Hall, has been in sole charge since the beginning of 2008, making him the club’s longest-serving boss since 1980s legend Chris Anderson.
Calland was also the first coach since Anderson to deliver a significant trophy, winning the 2010 Championship Grand Final against Featherstone last September.
He also guided Fax to the 2009 decider against Barrow, which they lost, and last week’s showpiece at Bloomfield Road, making them by far the most successful Championship club over the last three years.
But his Shay stay has not always been plain sailing.
Calland hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons after an assault in a Halifax nightclub three years ago and was formally suspended last May in the wake of the Ostick-gate scandal, which saw Fax thrown out of the Challenge Cup.
He was eventually re-instated after three days when Hall, his long-time friend and mentor, took the blame for fielding the ineligible forward in a fourth-round tie at Swinton and resigned his position as director of football.
Calland also appeared to be on the brink of being sacked this spring, with a disastrous run of form - which saw the Champions rooted to the foot of the league ladder - only being arrested when the former Great Britain coach Brian Noble was hired as a ‘football consultant’, which included a brief to review the club’s coaching set up.
Ominously for Calland - whose current contract runs out in November - there was no public indication he would be offered a new deal for 2012 and beyond, and that, as much as anything else, may be the most telling factor behind today’s announcement.'" |

Might be due to something with the franchise announcement. If we want somebody else in to start assembling our SL team or re-building for three more years in the Championship that would make sense. Not sure what Harrison has over Calland though if that turns out to be true. I suppose they were concerned that he might win the Grand Final this year and they would be faced with sacking a coach that just won a final.

Im in shock. Especially so close to the Franchise announcement and so soon after Blackpool. Did his contract really run out at the end of this season? I mean anyone with any sense when asked to take a drop in wages like he was at the begining of the year would have re-negotiated extra length on to his contract. The players appear to be shocked and gutted which makes you assume its the boards decision so i guess they should really explain to people what as gone on because it would have been so easy to get rid earlier in the season.
Ive not always been his biggest fan but his record speaks for itself and we play the best brand of rugby in this division which is always exciting to watch one way or another. If we got in to SL i wouldnt have minded him taking a shot at stepping up but maybe both these things were never destined to happen.
