STEVE P Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Anybody heard when the appointment of the next coach is likely to be announced? Not trying to imply any criticism. Just getting a bit itchy to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 At the presentation evening MS said that he had received 20+ applications and hoped to be able to make am appointment within two weeks. So that would be by the end of this week - allow for a bit of slippage and I would hope that we would know by the 22nd. Just my guess by the way, no insider knowledge at all. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creditwhereitsdews Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Sooner the better. It feels like a lot of momentum from winning League One has already been lost, when we could be securing players for next season and stealing a march on our rivals.

It feels like a lot of momentum from winning League One has already been lost, when we could be securing players for next season and stealing a march on our rivals. Clear up a few facts Nobody is stealing a march on us as teams don't know what money they are getting, until then players won't be offered contracts.. There's a great uncertainty with players where they are going to be and what they are going for. We will lose players that's just how the game is, they will leave for more money, better team, closer to home, a variety of reasons. Players will retire. For Mark the club runs 24/7 out of season, just because we're not playing doesn't mean the club is dormant. Talks with players and any potential coach will have taken place, with the latter reaching a conclusion very soon. Let's sit back and watch the show 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown Flatter Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Of those 20+ applicants, you can bet around half the number will from no-hopers who just put their name forward, probably to every club seeking a new coach. It takes time to sift through all the names, thus slowing down the process of appointing a new head coach. 3 Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually more around arranging interviews for the real contenders around work, holidays etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feelslikezoom86 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Any Rumours on the applicants ? any EX players do we think ? Foreign Coaches ? already out of work coaches ? I assume we wont buy out a contract from a coach that's already in a job. Is anyone in the know on here ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RugbyPowelly Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Dale Ferguson is clearly the cheaper option. He’s a massive gamble compared to other more proven options. Let’s hope he can keep some of the better lads but not just choose his mates. I’ve seen it over and over where that happens in these situations. But enough cynicism, I sincerely wish him the very best in what will undoubtedly be a very difficult role in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life's a gamble If you don't give someone a job, how are they to get experience Castleford took a gamble on Last, didn't work out Batley have taken a gamble on Moxon Widnes took a gamble on an experienced John Kear.. Didn't work out Kevin Nicholas took a gamble on Craig Lingard.. Worked out Nothing is guaranteed for success The Only guarantee is the journey And Dale's journey is about to start Edited September 10, 2023 by coolie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest and I am neither agreeing or disagreeing with any of your previous comments. Who do you think should have been appointed Dewsbury Rams next head coach?
