New Coach - Names in frame?

[Anita Bath]

It would be an honour…..but I would have to take a pay cut.

 

Just get it right…because if there are two teams that desperately need to get out of this hell hole of a division its your lot and the mighty hornets.

 

Ten years ago this weekend that we won that preliminary final at your place. Didnt you turn the hot water off in the away dressing room in a fit of pique? Our lads had to shower with the refs (pre female refs days) while you lot worried about facing the skolars for a chance to get your revenge in the final. We all know how that ended.

Mr Hamilton took us precariously close to extinction on a good number of occasions

And still the CH cynicism continues! In actual fact, CH SAVED us from extinction on a good number of occasions. Unlike the last committee in 'Sheddings days.

[sheddingswasus]

All of his own making. I only made the  point. 

[ManchesterYed]

John Kear ?

They’re keeping this under wraps!

I see that the Daily Mirror have said that the favourite to get appointed as Head coach is Sean Long.

I seriously doubt we could attract or afford a coach of his calibre. 

[jroyales]

If it's true he would really bring a real buzz in the town and show the club is serious about their intent on being successful.

Sounds like Daryl Powell is taking over at Wakefield with the new owner so he is likely looking for work

Would be an unbelievable appointment but would he really come down to League 1? It would take some real selling by the club.

Well? Any whispers? Anyone seen with Fordy in the cafe on the birch services?

Only the Shaun Long one in the Daily Mirror

Team announcements this week. Surely the coach must come first so as to form his/her team!

You would have thought so , maybe we have more decent options for coach than normal and they're at the short list stage .

How?. By paying off Tax bills that he had run up?

Where was this consortium from 1997 onwards? Oldham Rugby League could have gone under then if it wasn't for CH, he is no angel but he did keep Pro rugby alive in Oldham.

He drove us into the ground. Alienated supporters, the community clubs, and sponsors.

Where was the money men then? He was far from perfect but at least there was a club to takeover 26 years later. If you want to rubbish people, look at Jim Quinn and Co.

Spot on - well said - I believe CH was an accountant in a previous life, so whilst getting paltry crowds through the turnstiles with dwindling central income & players who always got paid, the fact we had a club at all is perhaps because of him, not despite him.

Guess we'll never know why he decided to sell the club this year ?

There is a former major club sponsor who posts on here. I am sure they would concur.
