Taking all things at the into consideration, who do you want as our next coach? I've put a re-voting option in, in case you change your mind or the clubs situation changes anytime soon. I'll also add any suggestions people have, it will reset the voting, but at least there's an accurate, up to date opinion of who people want. So any sensible suggestions will be added.

Right, i've refreshed everything and added a few other suggestions from the thread, and taken some out who have either rules themselves out or got other jobs, see where it stands now........

I have been realistic, jukes will get the position with help of rowley for next year

Jonny , you've not put ' whoever is the cheapest ' option ?

I'm the cheapest option, but you wouldn't want me would you?

'Who's playing at scrum half gaffer?'
'Hang on, i'll do a poll'

Whoever comes cheap and shows enthusiasm to coach at Leigh!

Better than some we've had in the past

Aye You cant beat someone with good enthusiasm.

Just think how good Bristow would be.

He was an awsome player for us (doesn't meen a good coach i know)
Was a fans favourite
IMO wouldn't be massively expensive
Knows what it meens to the people of Leigh to be successful
Has been coaching in Aus for the last few years
I am told he will be visiting leigh soon anyway so i wouldn't hesitate in offering it him then!

So you'd uproot your family and give up your current employement for a 10/15 grand a year contract at Leigh ?

That would be for a part-time coach though Steve where as it's someone full time we need these days your talking £25 - £30K now whether we can afford that though is another matter.

Thats the point Fred , we will/should know by now almost exactly what our income will be next season , so whoever we get has to fit around that in the first instance

People need to realise , there is nobody there now to just sign a personal cheque to pay a bill/wage when the bank says " No "

Next year we have to live within our means , we will still have contracted commitments we have to honour , the figures have to add up , and in my experience you never cover every possible eventuallity , so you have to work on your expenditure being say 90 % of your income

Coffee smelling time

Good job I prefer tea then

I agree with you here Steve, if it's a proven part time coach we need, Steve McCormacks doing a cracking job at Swinton part-time.

Someone like Phil Veivers/Keiron Purtill/Richard Marshall would be ideal.

Got to be Purtill for me.

Remember it's 'taking into account the current situation'. Reckon a high profile coach would be the right choice? I do personally. But I could see why people think that's not the right option.

It would be his first job as a head coach so I can't see him wanting the earth in terms of wages. The only difference is if we spend the extra £15k or whatever to get a full-time coach (Purtill) instead of a part-time one (McCormack?).

It seems to me people are deaf/blind or both on here

or daft perhaps?

I wish Tommy Martyn. Think he'd be a fantastic Leyth coach. Other than that defo Purtill. Dont really want any others to be honest. Benson at a push.

Go on then, who should coach Leigh next season taking into consideration everything?

Whoever is the cheapest

Who would be your choices then Ste, the cheepest if you like?

If anyones wondering who voted for Sean Long-it was Wurzel.

I didnt know matt calland came on these messageboards
