I am worried that the handling of the MC issue has had a bigger effect than most of us realise. Quite a few of the players were close to MC and followed his lead on pay cuts for this year. From what I have heard, they are not too impressed by the BoD's actions and there may have to be a fair bit of bridge building with a number of them - some very key players.

The further risk is we wait for a new coach so he can decide on who he wants etc. But if that’s to be at the end of the season, potentially players will already sign elsewhere. At the end of the day they have themselves/families to look after.

i agree with alot of these posts suggesting that Fax is a big attraction, but we have a quality squad at the minute, and i can see alot of them jumping ship because of Callands departure. i hope im wrong!

the club need to be transparent with everybody involved to secure we have a top team next year.

Rob worrincy will be off, mark my words.

With respect to most other championship clubs i cant see many players getting better offers elsewhere. If some of our players get offered SL as some Leigh lads have then good luck to them but i think for the most part our players who are in a position to be offered a new contract might well accept it. Also i would expect that at least 6 players and maybe more will either be released or will retire to accomodate the players that the new coach intends to bring in. Im quite optimistic for next season TBH.
