It would be a lot higher than 10th. The sad facts of sport at a high level that simply giving 100% and trying hard is not enough for some players. Managing the players who have the talent but are not putting the effort in is a huge part of coaching.


That's part of management in any type of business. And I agree that a manager's role is to get and coach the best out of his team to deliver results, and to do the job effectively, including nurturing talent within that team. But it also means that you don't make special allowances for some over others to where it creates an unfairness, lack of engagement or even unrest within the rest of your team, and which could result in the ones who have always put in the effort from thinking why do they bother and they start to give less. In a successful team each member will have common values, attitudes and goals and where some are not pulling their weight the least you expect is that they are managed, including managing them out!

AM I RIGHT? I'M NOT WRONG!

Re: Doncaster away : Thu Sep 05, 2024 10:38 am  
I think the last Fax coach the fans have been content with is Chris Anderson, and even he was criticised at the beginning because of the apparent unfair sacking of Colin Dixon! Since then, we've had:

Ross Strudwick 1988–89
John Dorahy 1989–90
Peter Roe 1991–92
Roger Millward 1992
Mal Reilly 1993–94
Steve Simms 1994–96
John Pendlebury 1997–98
Gary Mercer 1999-00
Steve Linnane 2001
Tony Anderson 2002-04
Anthony Farrell 2004-06
Martin Hall 2006
Matt Calland 2008–11
Karl Harrison 2012-14
Richard Marshall 2015-19
Simon Grix 2019–23
Liam Finn - 2024

Every single one of them got hounded at some stage or another.

Maybe selective memory but I loved the Calland era and remember being surprised when it ended..

I attended the Damien Ball function a few weeks ago and that was his best time. It was all about scoring more points than the opposition with the likes of Penky terrorising the opponents.

That will be Fax 76 York 38 (attendance over 1,900) when Penky was awesome.

It was the week after our late NRC loss against Leigh at Blackpool (loved the day out despite the loss, it was the days before I became a partial armchair fan) and if I remember rightly that game was the beginning of the end re Calland's reign as there were rumours of players being drunk in Blackpool having shopping trolley races in which Calland took part.

As chief hound you have to be, trouble is as the poor lad gets older they can only see through one eye and just goes round in circles barking a lot and chasing their tails.
