5 on shortlist 2 overseas ones 3 English, has annouced at todays Main shirt sponser launch, O Neills doing shirt which will be on sale before Xmas and will go into production Monday.
Quite a few players signed up or have agreed terms too, its 3/4s of the team Im told. So not all doom and gloom eh.

Thats 2 more on the shortlist than there was named in the rugby league papers and MEN,days ago.
I hope it is the one from overseas,who is now more English than the English,who has been prepared to get his hands dirty working with all levels of players and has experience in The Championship and is well versed in all facets of coaching with contacts around the globe.
He certainly ain't the Jose Mourinho of rugby league who gets the easy jobs where all the money is !
Still,when have I ever been lucky,or the man himself ?

Are you allowed to say who is the shirt sponsor

Widows Mason

I will support whoever gets the job ,i have my own choice , but im not in charge ,as for the players we need to show them we support them and will always do so , next season may be hard , but at least we have a team to follow , so im happy , with no relagation ,the season after will probably be more to Target .

If we are able to sign up most of last year's team plus one or two extras why should we worry about finishing at the relegation end of the table (even if there is no relegation)?

apart the ones annouced as leaving, the rest left have all vertually signed up.

That makes for a top 4 team then for me with aditions of course and a good coach

So why all the doom and gloom, lets all get away from doom and look forward. God look at Barrow demoted and in hundreds of thousand of pounds of debt.

I have viewed the videos of the Fans Forums recently and the word 'transparency' is often repeated.
With that in mind,and with supporters being the lifeblood of the club,would it not be worthwhile for,say,LISA members,to pay a little money to the club for a question and answer session with those coaches shortlisted so they can vote the next day for who they would like to see as the next head coach ?
If the coaches wish to distribute their c.v's to the supporters,that would be their choice.
It could be beneficial from a number of viewpoints.

Are you on Tramadol?

No doom and gloom here Lynda

Charlie is Happy

,looking forward to next season , with players who TRULY WANT TO PLAY FOR LEIGH , which is so important, Swinton may have a few ex Leigh players , but WE have 3-4 times as many fans as they do , we have LISA,and WE ARE LEIGH.

That made me laugh.

I predict our coach will come from a far away land!

Hope he`s at the fans forum in 2 weeks........and a squad announcement also.

"Do you come from a land down under?"

As long as it`s not Never Never Land.

Its ok he can bring his monkey!!!!!!

Could he be a KIWI?

No

Well he might be on reflection.

Was told that Tony hadnt applied

He already has a work permit so it is not TB.

daniel anderson is out of our price range frank
