I think your being a little unfair. The board don't have to tell us anything and they have. What do you expect from them? They have clearly decided to stick with Calland for now and they have told us that.

Also I still don't understand why people keep bring Hall into it? It is NOT his job to coach the team. Do people not understand what he does??

I agree, why's Hall getting some flack, he's done a great backroom job and I hope he stays.

also agree, he has done a good job since came to fax.

'Weak BOD'

This "weak" BOD are the same people who have refinanced the club (largely by investing their OWN money), cleared off debt, negotiated firstly to get the stand finished and then get a long term lease on the stadium, and built a team that is, at least until the last two games, been one of the most consistent and entertaining in the league. It's not that long since we were battling to avoid going down (remember york) or battling to stay alive. People have short memories, I think the BOD are doing a great job and unless someone wants to stump up 20-odd grand to join them, let them get on with the job.

agree they have got us doing well and cant see how 2 results have changed how good a job they are doing.

As much as we have plenty to thank our BOD for keeping Calland is NOT one of them. Keeping Calland in my opinion could railroad our season into mediocrity as he has clearly lost the confidence and respect of the players. We may moan about training facilities but is training 3 timers per week for 2 hours really enough? Powell at Fev brings his guys in twice daily some weeks doing weights in the morning session (6.30 - 8.00am) and they then concentrate on ball work etc in the evening session. A very professional coaching set up. The words professional and coaching do not go together where Halifax and Calland are concerned and here lies the problem. To stick with Calland right now is a "WEAK" decision in my opinion and the easy option. We need a different approach on the coaching front to take the club forward and compliment the other work being done behind the scenes.

Having a pop at the BoD?

Good one that. Let's hound them out like we did with Tony Gartland. Does anyone know what it will cost to oust Matt? Does anyone know who will pay the balance of the contract if applicable? GFB - do you want to dip your hands in your pocket and pay him? Chris Smith? Anyone? The rumours of player unrest - does anyone know how many are unsettled? Is it one or two players allegedly "holding the club to ransom"? Seven?

There's some real sweeping statements made by those who know knack all. I implicitly trust the board of directors. From 2004's edge of the precipice to the stability we had in 2009, i thank the board. The hard work (voluntary !!!) that these people put into the club - i thank the board. For keeping Halifax RLFC alive (on meagre crowds don't forget!!!) - i thank the board. I wonder how many of these know-alls would still be here if we'd suffered what Leigh had done over the last 18 months. How many would still be here if we matched the status of clubs like Batley and Dewsbury?

Think yourself lucky you've got a decent rugby club because some of you don't deserve one.

Do you have any positive comments about HRLFC and its BOD's?
All your posts are dreary and repetitive and to call the BODs weak just shows how clueless you really are! I will no longer take time to read your diatripe efforts, think I will join Tony Fax I & II.

I'm sure the situation is being taken very seriously by the BOD but what do people expect them to say.

"Having listened to the advice of the Angry Mob we have told Matt Calland that if he doesn't sort it out quickly he's on his bike!"

That would be very professional, wouldn't it?

Are they? There has been a few changes hasnt there? When did the 20K thingy come in?
