Alan Kilshaw

[ormskirknet]

Confirmed new head coach is Alan Kilshaw

 

Not many of us saw that coming.

 

Decent pedigree without actually being a head coach over in the UK at Championship level, however he has had some success down under and been involved with England youth level, and Warrington academy previously

 

Welcolme to the Nets Alan, I wish you every success and really hope you can kick on with the on-field activities and put a smile back on our faces.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I hope the guy who put his house on Dave Woods getting the job has found somewhere else to live. Welcome to Hornets Alan. Onward Hornets Onward.

[Neophyte Hornet]

Wow

 

Seems a better result than we all expected , 

He'll bring a new excitement to the club,

 

Good decision by the board, 

Proves its worth getting behind them and becoming members ,

there wasn't any 'hidden agenda's etc  ...

[glemiln]

Welcome to the Nets, Alan.  Hope that you can bring to Hornets, the success achieved at Crocodiles.

I wonder if his previous links with Warrington will bring a change in dual-registration partners, assuming that dr remains an option?

A few aussies coming this way soon?

[mickhornet]

Seems it wasn't a done deal and you shouldn't have put your house on Woodsy.Be interesting to see how long it will be before the knives come out for this one.

[PooingDog]

Aye, a big warm welcome and goodluck to Alan both on and off the field.

 

A wealth of experience and proven talent.

Let's hope that Matt calland never went for the job

It looks like another yes man

The board have no idea the club's going backwards

Correct - no disrespect to Kilshaw, good luck to him - cant imagine season tickets flying out though due to the appointment 

 

From the boards point of view so obvious that they had a hidden agenda re one of the applicants and never had any intention of appointing him.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I'll be getting a season ticket at the fans meeting on Thursday. Not because I'm a Kilshaw fan, I don't know a great deal about the guy to be honest. I'll be getting a season ticket because I'm a Hornets fan. No hidden agendas here.

You have no idea if Calland applied for the job

You have no knowledge that he is a yes man

The club has only gone backwards playing wise only.

My best wishes to our new coach and I hope your stay is a happy and successful one.

Like most on this site we care little who holds the reins but we do care that the good name of Hornets continues and hopefully with renewed optimism for next season

Ok, Alan Kilshaw, what are his credentials/ Who`s this Crocodiles team he`s coached and how recently?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Gremlin had put a link up in a previous post. Try reading that Dave.

I don't think the level is anywhere near as good as Mayfields

[DiddyDave]

Thank you TS, Kilshaw`s certainly a bit of an unknown having read that link, but I guess he`s got nowt to lose because of that. Best of luck to him, just hope he won`t be another Steve Eyre, I guess this time next year we`ll know for sure.

[Larry Jones]

Who is he? I like to think I know the game a bit, maybe I don't.

What is the point of being a member at Hornets when you are not able to find out who applied for the job.

As expected Mat Callands application was a total waste of time given obvious opposition to him from board members.

I am sure that supporters would love to know who was overlooked.

I asked a bird member at Mayfield tonight but the silence was deafening.

What is the point of being a member.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

The other candidates applied for the post " in confidence " for obvious reasons. Do you want board members to betray that confidence ? Our reputation in the Rugby League world would be badly damaged if we revealed who else applied for the job. I would have thought all this was pretty obvious.

Doug the reasons are obvious when you read the contributions to numerous threads mentioning Matt Calland by a poster that comes from the house of a board member - unfortunately personal preference has got in the way of the right man for the job - when you have said that you have said it all - I notice everyone is bowled over with enthusiasm following the eventual appointment - chance missed

Well you didn't have long to wait for the knives to come out Mick. The guy hasn't even been in charge for one game yet.

It's like I said earlier - " Some people want to be part of the problem and some people want to be part of the solution".

I know where I stand.

Coach

[excolt]

I couldnt make tonights meeting but I would like to know if he coaches open attractive rugby.it was very boring last season,I watched Mayfield last night and saw more creativity in that game than in a full season at Spotland.Odd really as Saints play open rugby,still all the best to the coach,hope he goes well.

If you've got a different opinion you could have come to the fans meeting tonight and aired it. You could also see how many people share your point of view.

[Heywood Tiger]

Jono Smith could be a very shrewd signing,19 tries last year for a forward!

I notice from Twitter there are 2 Mayfield lads on there way, I would guess maybe Aidy Gleeson and Lewis Sheridan to get an overdue opportunity...

[mickhornet]

Two Aussies coming over, one called "THE WRECKING BALL"!!!
