Thanks Martin - Who knows where this club of ours would be now had you not come in! You helped to put our club back on the map. A shame it ended like this but hopefully the club can put this episode behind them and move onwards and upwards. I think i speak for the majority of Fax fans when i say we're very grateful for what you have done for the club. Good luck in your future endeavours

Thanks for everything Hally.

Now Calland has a lot to prove to convince me we should keep him.

A good win on sunday and then build from there.

Alot needs to change, we need to be more professional.

Less Drinking PLEASE

great news, glad he his back,,,,,



martin you have done a great job while been at fax, thanks alot mate, all the best,

hall has done very good job while at fax and sorry to see go but someone was at fault and he was in charge of things.
lets hope calland can get the players really up for this one and the rest this season.

What will RL viewers do now that the number 1 apple chomper in the world has gone?


Were doomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a disaster I heard Martin Hall puts money into the club.

[u

I also heard this, but can't remember where or if it is true. Good luck to him where ever he goes, even if is just to the sun

Just like to say thanks Mr Hall for everything you have done for the club and doing the honourable thing.
Now lets all get behind the team,coach and directors on sunday and for the rest of the season.

COME ON FAX.

thanks martin for all you have done but you had to go over this.

from official site: "The investigation has necessarily disrupted preparation" - should that be 'unnecessarily'?

Also why the overuse of exclamation marks in recent news headlines? Really no need to over-emphasise it on headlines such as "Halifax RLFC Out Of The Cup!" or "Halifax Suspend Coach Calland!"

mmmm wonder if were still going to get that explanation as to why posner left? now things have settled

But presumably the workload will remain the same with only three Directors and no CEO.

Looks like a busy time for some!!

Will Martin return to RL?? I assume he sees his future in Spain, and this is a big blot on his CV

U R but Fax will regroup and move foreward

Martin's gone, and it was his ultimate responsibility, but who should have done the job of checking such as this while he was away? We haven't always had a Director of Football. Surely there are procedures, check lists or manuals to follow on issues such as this?

Didn't the RFL saythey would see if any more punishment was needed to be meted out following the conclusion of the Fax internal investigation? Hope we've heard the last of this.
Now, Fax have done their bit (or rather Martin has), who at the RFL is going to fall on their sword as a portion of the blame must go to the numpties at the Red Shed.

I think its a very fair comment. The RFL seem to have done a good job of passing all the blame onto Fax when its clear that either a) there are the right systems in place to avoid such a mistake or b) if there is the right systems in place then someone wasnt doing their job correctly.

Takes a big man to do what he has done and step down to save his mate. I guess the ramifications of his reignation wont be known till later on down the line.
You have to ask though that you must presume that the club knew he was away in which case like Yob says, whose job was it to do all the paperwork etc.

Absolutly nothing as usuall

After tonights performance your team is

As Rich posted elsewhere, Widnes don't like playing Leigh at the best of times but Leigh are playing out of their skin and Widnes are down to having the cleaning the lady in the pack.

Thats a bit harsh on Jim Gannon

To me this is a sad sad turn of events. MH did an awful lot behind the scenes that he rarely got public credit for and his influence in signing some top players seems to have been overlooked by many of his detractors on here. Unless we can replace him with someone equally influential, this could be the most damaging of recent events to the club long term.

At least the money we have lost through being out of both cups will be minimised by the savings on Hall's and Clay's salaries.

.... I don't think they received a salary from the club, and indeed put money in when needed. If that's true I can't see how the club can afford replacements.
