Still would like John Kear but wouldn't be surprised if it's Gareth Widdop.

OK time to hold my hands up, I've been thinking this all season. Probably fair to say that much more was expected of him, however we were fairly stacked in and around that position which probably didn't help. Although players don't always make great coaches, someone with that wealth of experience wouldn't be a bad shout, even as a number two.

I say fair play to anyone putting their hand up to come here given the circumstances. I've no doubt finances come in play. I think our only hope is finding someone hungry for the job (it certainly won't be for the money).

Everyone wrote off Burgess before he started at Warrington.

Yeah for a team like us Im not sure it even boils down to someone who can coach rugby brilliantly. I mean the players can all play the game but I think we really could do with a good man manager, we seem to have a lot of players in their comfort zone, this isnt a new thing I think we have had it at Fax for years. We really could do with someone who could give them a kick up the backside and look to get the best out of them. I think that is why I wouldn't mind Alan Kilshaw I feel he falls in to that idea.

The silence is deafening! I don't think we've ever gone so long with an inactive news update on the club's website - still waiting for Tangata's signing to be knocked off its perch (nearly 2 weeks ago) which included "........We’ll be bringing you more squad news and contract announcements in the coming days and weeks ahead as we build up to fixture release day. Stay tuned!". Well we're still waiting. Also still miffed about Kenny's immediate resignation which seems to have left the Ship Fax with no captain. I thought his resignation was a prelude to a swift takeover by a new BOD.

Agreed. At a time when we are trying to raise much needed funds and selling season tickets we are hearing nowt. Very amateurish and slightly worrying.

Seems Bradford will be looking for a new coach as well with E O’C moving on.
