All seems to be very silent on this issue

, i feel we need to appoint a Coach , as soon as possible , because our rivals Squads all seem to be taking shape for next season , i would hate us to fall behind , and be left with remains.

Unless of course anyone has heard anything?The usual Suspects are staying quiet

not even Maurice has any ideas

.

No good appointing a new coach when we do not have the ability to pay him or her

Ive every faith in this club , we will pull through ,Leythers for me are at their best when the going gets tough ,as i said we need to start planning for the future , i know a couple of players ready to sign , but they cant wait forever .

exactly, would a coach actually take a gamble with us

Interviews this week. One candidate has withdrawn his interest though due to the current circumstances.

Well if thats the case would any players actually take a gamblewith us

?We need to be positive .

If he wants moe then we can afford then good, dont want him.

more or less or the lads are leythers, maybe they really want to play for us. i dont know who's being interviewed but i dont know any leigh lads with qualifications apart from rowls

Can't blame him tbh,he's got his future to think of.

I'll throw an name into the hat for u Keiron Cunningham!

I`ll throw another name in Malcolm Alker

Can't imagine there will be (m)any Super League coaches who will give up their current full-time positions to move in to what is likely to be a part-time position with Leyth.

Unless things have changed matt then we're looking for a FT coach.

I believe Deacon has just announced his retirement as a player,he'd make a good coach with an experianced man underneath him.

Don't see the need for the expense of a full-time coach when we will only be running one team next year - it made sense when Millward was head of the framework with U23's, U18's etc but not sure we'll see the benefit of it next time around?

Deacon has been confirmed on Wigan's coaching team for next season by the way.

Could be right matt but i'm sure the cub could find him something possitive to do as regards to future devolopments of the club on and off the field.

The under 18s are still in place arn't they? and the 23s are being brought back after the 2012 season?.

It is essential that the coach is full time, as well as the first team there is the new apprentice scheme thats running, plus the 18's thats in the pipeline in conjunction with the college, the new coach will be a full time appointment the BOD have already stated that.

Malcolm Alker would be just about as bad as it could get!

do you not think Duffy and Littler will have enough on there plates as players without first team coaching responsibilities?.

If they do appoint a player coach - something I do not think they will - then someone inexperienced will need a guiding hand behind them and that would mean another salary so I think it's a non goer TBH.
And lets be honest Keith what 'coaching' did AJM do

except for five minutes before the game

plus unless Duffs and Stu have enrolled on a level 3 course they won't be considered, and have they applied?

Murp was a one off.. World class player and brill motivater we will never see the likes of a player
like Murphy again at Leigh in my opinion in our lifetime

Well Trevor Barton is now friends with Paul Terzis on Facebook so there you go its official welcome back Turk

What as though

his coaching methods were out of date 10 years ago great player great motivator and in his first spell a great coach.


Maybe get Woody and Des back too come on Ian its 2011 not 1981 we want to look forward not back.

Fred its bedtime get your carer to slip your sleepin tabs in yer horlicks so that you can dream of years gone by Murphy was the greatest halfback ever in World Rugby and the greatest thing ever to happen to Leigh RLFC back in the day .. BBC 2 Floodlight trophy wins.. Champions Div 1 with a all uk team
and best of all 1971 beating the hottest favourites ever Leeds to win 24-7 at Wembley not seen any other coaches do owt like that at Leigh in my lifetime ..
MURPHY was the Greatest ever and his record at Leigh over the years will never be repeated
thats unless Mr Ainscough pumps several millions into the club for world class players then we might stand a chance of doing what Murph did for Leigh............
Anyway my choice of coachin set up would be Mac from Swinton and Rowley with Calland a close second but ive a feeling Pengy and Rowls are gonna get the nod !!!!!!!!!!

Fred i think you will find that you are wrong about Turks coaching methods an ex player told me that several years after he left Leigh to play in SL a well known coach introduced Turks methods as the new thing from Aus so it was more a case of Turk the inovator. I would give him the job tomorrow

I was on about Murph not Terk, some coaches are today using techniques Terk used back in 2002

Ian it's not me thats dreaming of the 'good old days' I live in the world of today not yesterday history is fine but it pays no bills or wins games today.
