Where has it come fron that he said there will be an announcement this week? I know its being said he told the corporate brigade but is there any evidence?

Re: 2022 | Head Coach talk : Fri Apr 15, 2022 2:01 pm  

I think that is the evidence - one of the reporters said GH had said something to that effect. While I agree GH should talk to JJB first before letting anyone else know, an announcement has to be made soon so everyone knows what's going on.

Someone mentioned JJB staying under a new coach. Unless the new guy has complete freedom with all these support staff I doubt we'd get the best available. A new coach wouldn't have a complete gang of assistants ready to come with them, but they need to be given absolute backing to build their support staff as they see fit.

Like mattsrhinos, I’d much prefer Tony Smith than any other realistic UK based option.

Just watched the Hull derby, he has made HKR into a good outfit . Their team today was riddled with guys discarded by other teams and championship players picked up. On paper you would have expected FC to murder them upfront.

Tony Smith is the only UK based coach I would have any interest in whatsoever, and I’d be very happy if he were to return.

I reckon it will be for next season. I’m ok to go with JJB for the rest of this one. Get to listen to the press conferences at least….!
Silver linings and all that…..

YEP reporting GH will be reporting back and putting forward his preferred candidate to the board for ratification at a Board meeting currently planned for Wednesday.

If the board ratify his candidate I reckon it will be announced to the public on Thursday

'Not a novice' who we all thinking now?
