mayfield were a poor side when he took over when he left we had won the first division and the next season we were one game off the play of final in the premership
also ran hunslet and barrow close in the challenge cup
matts one of the best if not the best young coach out there

Did you miss the dedicated Matt Calland thread just below or are you that important?

Not that I can take any of your posts seriously anyway becaue all you post is negative bile - even in the best of times.

I dont see why we have to buy him out of his contract. In any other job if you dont perform you get sacked without a payoff.

dave woods is is ideal for thew job he may be a hot head but is a proven coach in this league

Bang on!

What about Dave Clarke? Sure he would love the oppertunity to actually coach and not be Des's puppet.

Oh good call that actually, besides anyway im not even thinking about a new coach as I dont feel anything will change, I'd be shocked if it does.

Good call. We've got five captains too so that's a great opportunity for the headline writers

Realistically i don't see anything changing this week. I just don't think boards make decisions like that over night. I'm not saying they won't speak to Calland, i'm sure they will but i just can't see it myself. I'm guessing he has another 2 games, of we play as bad in both our Easter games then something will probably happen.

From a club perspective though the money will have to be found, i appreciate people saying we can't afford to keep him but the reality is can we afford to get rid? Possibly not. I hope all the fans saying they will pay him out will send their cheques in to help the club if it does happen!

Also why get at Martin Hall, he isn't the coach, I'm sure he helps Calland but he isn't the coach. It is his job to attract players and he has done a great job in.

As for the drinking, if you have seen players drinking why not ring the club and report them? If not shut up because its just rumour spreading. I find all the drinking claims a bit frustrating because most people that speak about them are unwilling to give names and have heard from their best friends boyfriends dad!!!! The club can't punish players for drinking if they don't know its happening, afterall many of our players don't live in Halifax.

We won a Championship and a Challenge Cup on the back of some hearty drinking sessions

Yes, and Wigan won quite a few as the first team to play sober
