Alternatively the idea of being "surprised" makes me wonder if Dave Woods is in the frame. At first I didn't like the idea and thought he needs some training sessions with Clugger. However after looking at his record he has been successful virtually everywhere he's been. The only thing is it was in lower leagues so I don't know how he'd manage at SL level.
If you lot need to go to war in your remaining games,up to and including the Middles 8's,then you may need to remind yourselves that Winston Churchill wasn't exactly svelte and Vera Lynn was no Twiggy.But were,apparently great leaders/inspiration during a difficult time.
Mick Potter is a great friend of his.
Despite his last appointment being disappointing he managed to coach a side to success against those coached by JK and GM.
Some rugby league supporters didn't like him when he took court action against a club owner - they have now petitioned against that owner and are boycotting their home games played outside their city - York!
Ahead of his time is Dave;as well as being extremely unlucky and coaching well below his qualified position.( As per Mick Potter )
He is still well respected by Castleford followers and is the ideal man to bring supporters together should the prospect of a shared stadium be necessary.
The late Adam Watene was brought to this country by Dave,as were others,so that should give you a clue as to the character and personalities he likes to sign.His work with young players is recognized.
I believe his rugby league punditry on television and radio is quite popular.
I know he sees things which happen on a field mere mortals do not see.
I know one of your supporters who had a private box and sponsored Cockayne knew him quite well.
I hope Mr Carter appoints the best.
I wish Dave Woods all the very best.
