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

You would think armageddon was about to happen the way you lot have reacted.

Why bring Bruce Willis into this?

Yippee ki-yay mothercalland

While I agree with you that Dave would be ideal for a coaching job I would have to vehemently oppose the erroneous assertion that he is a hot-head.
I can assure you that he has never,ever assaulted me while I have been in his company and despite being passionate and knowledgeable about the sport of rugby league I can only describe him as stoical and forgiving despite suffering some disgraceful behaviour.
I rate him as a man and a coach extremely highly but I am sure two of your players could impart better information,as could the majority,if not all,Castleford supporters
Please do NOT continue to repeat falsehoods.
Because you are wonderful supporters I wish you a successful 2010 and beyond.
( I was at Thrum Hall in the 80's when you won the Championship )

I said after winning up at Barrow last season we were winning DESPITE Matt Calland and not because of him. This season we are worse than last, he is taking us backwards. With the squad of players we have this league is there for the taking but not with Calland in charge. The BOD should act now because i believe if they keep faith with the present coach their stated aim of SL in 2012 is just a sham and we are all paying our £15-£18 for nowt.
