in neil kelly we trust. GET A GRIP MUPPET,ITS NOT FOOTBALL!

Bump

We need to give this man time.we are constsntly changing our coaches when things dont go well.
keep the faith

This guy is the right man for the job.......have faith.

Ditto

Sorry lads but I don't agree there, NKs ideas seem dated & it shows our game plan is very stale & predictable. I feel fresh younger blood is required, but that's only MY opinion

not 100% at the moment but yes give him time as stated he his giving youth a chance maybe he needs his own backroom staff?????

talkin about bein dated n stale happy bday for tomoz

I too think NK should be given more time.

Cheers mate

Coach them to play like the Aussies Mr Kelly blimey whenever i watch them at weekend the Aussie players look miles ahead of owt in this country..Frightening

I agree nk needs his own backroom staff in place

NK needs an upto date manual, not the one he used before he went to RU.

think nk was good 10 yrs ago but maybe not got it anymore

Who would you appoint that we could afford i think he needs time and his own staff in place, he has a young team and it needs time to develop admitidly we need one or two players in certain posistions but give him and the team time, what is the point this year of winning the league, grand final etc? and we arent bad enough to be relegated even thought Tolouse have been granted imunity we will finish mid table.

Well one of the points/reasons is to be allowed to apply for SL. Winning NRC or appearing in final will give us that right. No GF appearance this year or next or no NRC final win this year or next, forget SL till at least 2015.

Personally, I don't think we will obtain a Super League license no matter what we do or,achieve, sadly!

Do you honestly think we stand a chance of a franchise in 2012 anyway?

We're currently around 2000-3000 off an average gate that we could say justifies a franchise.

The point isn't whether WE believe that we can get one, but more that of 'can we get ourselves in a position where we should get one, regardless of whether or not they will give us one'.

I still believe that the problem lies not with NK but with the backroom staff he has had to put up with, or at least certain parts of it.
I could be mistaken here, but isn't there a trend over the last couple of seasons where we start well, rumours start about the coach losing the dressing room, and it then all goes downhill before the coach is pushed out? Seems like its happening again this year.

Celtic this weekend - 2,017 a drop of 66% on first home game a few weeks ago

Correct. Franchise or not, our aim should be to be as strong a club as we can be. At the moment we appear to have very limited resources and a fan base that needs to improve drastically.

Growing the club to a level that we would like will take time (more than two years we have till the next franchise).

Wonder how many Cas fans are in that figure - they usually have a good following.

For what my opinion is worth I think NK is a good coach and as has been said he needs his own backroom staff to work with, the main one I think should go is Paul Rowley IMO, all trouble seems to stem from him, as I said this is only MY opinion
