Well, the press release sounds rather worrying, is it partly due to cost cutting?

I remember the optimism last time we were looking for a coach as Karl was available. I don't see the next coach being too exciting, and we maybe should be prepared for a dissapointment?

So, any ideas who we would/could go for?

Maybe Dave Larder? Cummings? Diskin has just retired? Bally?

Murrell ?

Hes 28!! He's still got a lot of playing in him yet

Please nobody with history at the club and that includes Bally yes!! Someone with recent super league experience and who has been in the game recently at the top, maybe retired player with assistant coach experience, fact is though also can we afford anyone like that.

Danny Orr

Pretty sure we could get Noble on a part time deal, doubt he would cost much (he will still be being paid by Dr Koucash). He did great things in his time at Wigan to put them back on the right track.

Player Coach

Terrible idea. Half back has enough to worry about without coaching the team.

Plus the fact that so much responsibility so young would ruin his playing career. Orr would be a great shout if he'd come, things going well at Cas though. Long?

They interview and try and get the right person, as has been said leaving sentiment out of it.

If you think about it there are now only 12 SL teams next season and you could probably say we are about the 5th most sort after job in this division allowing for teams above us. there will be no shortage of people wanting this job especially when they see the team on paper that is already signed up for next season. It will then be up to them to get the best out of those players and improve them something which KH has had a lot of trouble with.

The board basically have the most important decision in the clubs recent history in appointing a new coach. Bad choice means continued downward spiral, good choice could kick start the clubs revival.

Sounds like we have very linited resources though, restricting our choice

Surely can only be as good as who is available at the time?

The time is right now for all the facts to come out.Galvanise everybody and have a fresh start.

Yes but that is what they will find out when they advertise the post.

Repeat: Nobody with history at the club and not one of the merry go round coaches in this division, we need some new fresh ideas and recent super league knowledge/coaching/playing experience.

the club needs a complete outsider to come in no ex players get rid of dead wood and start again. may get the hundreds who arn.t going to games to come again. for me its good news he,s gone just was,nt doing it. was a great player for the club we all no that come on who,s enjoyed watching that on the field this season. look forward fax fans trust in the prince

I think we are missing the point, or maybe I'm reading too much into that statement. Karl left under his own steam, sounds like he was frustrated with evnts behind the scenes out of his control.

Now that doesnt sound good to me. And it certainly doesnt sound like we should be rejoicing about finding a new coach cos to me it sounds like we cant afford a quality one or a quality one wont want to work for the club.

That statement makes me fear the worst about the club to be fair

Could do a lot worse than Barry Eaton.

I think you are reading too much in to it.

Are you sure? With all due respect fev could arguably offer a much better squad, Greater coaching and playing budgets, better bespoke train facilities etc etc. Yet we attracted John Bastian and Andy Hay.!! Those "big names" wanting to coach a 4th rated championship club just aren't out there. Nor are there vast armies of untried young coaches itching to coach at this level.
Fax, like fev were, will be scratching at what's available... which is precious little.
Good coaches are hard to come by for the wad fax want to pay.

Have heard we have got financial problems. Scott Murrell possibly going to Wakefield. Not looking good for next season.

I guess if we have financial problems then as a company you would keep them quiet, but as a rugby club you might want to try and enlist some support.
The crowds have been hit by recent results and seasons of dull rugby but there are many who would turn up if the club leg it be known they really need support.
The non news from the BOD hasn't helped in all this either.

Murrell as caretaker coach is OK for the time being , but as I said in earlier posts he would need a mentor , so im going to suggest Steve McCormack to you , a very nice bloke , good coach , and I think he would do well at Fax .Charlie knows .

You might get a pleasant surprise then when signings do eventually get announced.
