Well that would have been myself , Ste , Phil and Darren

But it was Grainey that ' proclaimed '



And it wasn't u 7 s

The problem you have is , what process do you go through ? , do you advertise and ask for applicants ? , or do you ring up who you consider potential targets ?

Each time you change coaches the circumstances are different , with Tony , we had time to advertise , we got around 30 applicants and interviewed about 6/7 , this after getting references and checking up on the interested parties

Darren Shaw was part of that interview process and was therefore contacted the following time , Paul had the assistants job when Darren left and so was a hopefully seamless and quick option , Neil was at the time a logical choice , and a popular one , probably because of how well he had done against us , which quite often is a reason people are selected

Maybe this time as has been suggested we will ask Ians opinions as that option is available to us

Every time it is different , there is no right or wrong way to go about it

Albeit probably the most expensive one as well

But let's not forget , we are hardly the most attractive prospect for a coach either , even though in recent years 98-11 we have had 7 different people in 8 managerial changes , before that the average was probably one a season

We need some stability , that requires common sense and a touch of ' reality ' both on the people charged with making the appointment and the fans once it is made , history tells us that in sport generally unless you have billions to waste , giving coaches time pays off in the end , constantly changing both costs money and disrupts any chance of success

wasn't it written somewhere that Darren Shaw was interviewed by AT And Basil?
Anyroads Ive had an aussie called Bennett on wanting £100 a week, ive towd him £75 and as much lobby (bawt carrotts) as he cud eyt he con even kip int thowd pup tent int yard fer nowt, he's thinkin abayt it - I think he said

Tell him he can have carrots in his Lobby, that will swing it.

I'm affraid it will have to come with a crust around it. Thats what they eat when they are watching a game over there. Pies washed down with VB. Now I know thats hard to take but when I go over there next year I will be distibuting the Leythers Knowledge of all Lobbys. The regional recipes will be in it and the king of Lobbys ( with mince,carrotts and stock) will be my signature dish. I'll have a Lobby Shack franchise all over the continent by the time I'm 52. World domination by the time I'm 54. Believe.

Tony, we believe, we believe.

Except about the age bit - think he forgot to add the school years

To save money Leigh and Swinton to train together with Steve Mc Cormack as coach of both teams.The groundshare gives you 2 extra home games not fair on other championship clubs.

What a great idea!

Ex, bradford and wigan coach is the fav, BN

I sincerely hope not , his teams play poor quality unattractive percentage RL

Can't see Noble wanting to come this side of the Hills again, but he's just the right sort of off field personality we need to push on.

Kear off to Batley apparently. Would be a huge coup for them!

Can't argue with that fred but then i can't argue with starbugs post either.

He's a quality coach ??????

Enough said !!

Who would you suggest then

Quality coach, winning mentality, TV recognition - keeps the profile of the club positive

Just an opinion Col , just an opinion

Matt Calland ??

wouldn't wish him on my worst enemies

Macrae with Noble director of football

For which club?

We've advertised for a full time coach , so we may be feeding off the top of the barrell again ? . Hopefully .
