Yes, clearly something has brought things to a head. But i will look back on the years with positive thoughts on the whole. I wouldn’t have been easy to be ruthless when most of the lads were part time and giving their all, but i cant help but think we have stagnated for half of the time.
Again, thanks RM, he can be proud of his work on the foundations, he just wasn't able to take it forward, and that wasn’t all his fault. I’m sure he will have learned plenty.

I don't understand the decision.
From the outside looking in you could always bank on Halifax having a patchy league campaign but finishing the strongest out of everyone.

I didn't see this year being any different.

Let's hope you're still correct. Fan's are split over Marshall, time will tell. I personally think that we were going backwards and it was time for s change. We have only had two good 80 minute performances this year, Dewsbury and London, otherwise we have pretty much been awful. You pays your money....

Just wondering how many coaches you've had since we last changed ours in 1999.

From memory.... Pendlebury, Mercer, Linnane, Anderson, Farrel, Hall, Calland, Harrison, Marshall. You could very well argue that Sheffield have progressed no more than we have, irrelevant of coaching stability.

No doubt you've paid those folk a substantial sum for not working over the period.

That he's CEO of the Club no doubts helps. You've had your lows over the last couple of years too.

Most of us didn’t see this coming to the extent that it has and from the outside there’s no chance of seeing it, you have to be here.
From the inside watching week to week there has been a noticeable difference.
Very little has worked out well for a number of reasons.
Pre season build up average at best.
Recruitment average.
Attack average.
Defence less than average.
Performances average.
Mounting injury list.
DR with Cas less than average.
Odds on things changing less than average.

Not all down to RM but with his contract up at the end of the season not to be renewed it just may be the case and in the best interests of both parties for the departure to come sooner rather than later.

So reading between the lines the players have done a “Man Utd” and given up to get the coach out?

Naughty.

Griff, I’m sorry but you don’t have a coach (like us), you only have a taxi don’t you?

No “remove the coach” conspiracy simply they have been poor and as usual when it gets to the point where the BOD decides someone has to go it’s always the coach and never the players.

Mark Aston isn't CEO of the club.

But having had our lows is partly the point I'm making.

Can't add anything different to what has been posted previous. Chris_Smith maybe you were right about some things and I offer an olive branch to you.

As for R M does anybody think he will be be departing for an overseas foray, as strong rumors about New York and Ottawa joining the G B leagues?
R M maybe his potential is as a back room organiser, it is to his credit, and the BoD they have developed the reserves and academy, it would have been all too easy to do like others and rely on D/R, and lower leagues development for players, spending the money instead on first team wages and gambling on success there.
Good luck in the future R M unless you coach a team that faces Fax.

off thread where is Harry Kidd?
