I wanted Alex Murphy. Lovely lad

Yer me and I am sad it has not worked out and even sadder that I like many are getting on the big fellas case BUT the club is bigger than one man and right now the club have to make the right decision for its own good and make the change to get fans back on-board, otherwise pay the consequences and looking at the 4 full time teams next year we will not make that spin dryer league and will be drift wood.

If he signs a new contract I'm afraid it's a big slap in the face to most of the fans. He's just not what Fax need now. Time to part ways and move on.

TBH I was one of the few that said I didn't think he was right for the club when appointed but was prepared to give him time and that if our method was going to be to grind out wins I can live with that if it works, I'm sure I can dig out my posts if anyone wants proof. I just never thought he was right for the club, we need a recent ex super league player with fresh ideas, recent knowledge and kills of the game and experience. This ex player coming back stuff never works.

Here is my idea I have floated around some folk.

We need to address the training issue I think - surely we have something in this town?

My idea was to move KH to Director of Football, he has the clout in rugby league and knowledge just like Martin Hall did. He does a lot behind the scenes and for me, a great help for Fax TV. Bring someone in as head coach, may be a younger coach? To work with KH but has their own ideas? Sean Long - the only issue I have with Sean, he doesn't seem to stay anywhere long enough. Another person - Danny Orr?

Good ideas Triran. Question is, could the club afford any or all three of those options? And, as I said before, would you "rent" any if your facilities to the club, knowing the problems there has been with rent over the last couple of years?

I agree with you in principle, my concern would be could our club go down this road financially, I really would like our bod to put out a statement to the fans explaining our current situation and plans for the next 3 seasons. I think communication between club and fans is appalling, this does not include Fax tv which as been a breath of fresh air.

There is more to the "rent" saga than we will ever know. Now the "sale" saga has passed, I think the "rent" saga has passed - as they were probably connected.

In regards could we afford this setup. Probably not, hence a young cheap coach?

Out of interest - where would be the best place for training in Halifax be? - may need to start a new thread!

It would probably never happen, but I personally would love to see both clubs put their heads together (for once) and find a good training solution that works for both clubs. A proper base for not just on pitch training sessions, but a gym, indoor work areas (for when the training pitch(es) are too muddy, etc.

Its not something that would happen over night, but its something they could aspire for.

A young coach would be very good for you , one with passion and hunger for the game , but I still think you need an older head to guide this Young Coach , Fax have plenty of experienced blokes who need an older figurehead to look to , is Brian Noble the answer ?Im not sure , after watching Karl on Fax TV , it seems like a few players will be heading for the Exit doors at the end of the Season .Heres a suggestion ,what about Stuart Littler from Leigh ?Hes doing a bit of Coaching at the moment , is young , eager to learn , probably available , put him with an older Mentor , it could work .

Only 3 for definite: Bradford, London and Leigh. Possibly Donny, but only if they finish 2nd. Fev aren't going fulltime whatever, and I doubt there's anyone else planning to be.

Bubba - I think this is the most feasible way forward. Like you say, probably never happen.

I don't believe that Harrison is capable of stepping back and taking a Director of Football role. He looks like he is the kind of person that would appoint a yes man as coach then run the team from the background.

Im just not sure where the club can go from here. If they give Harrison another contract now it is going to cost them literally thousands in lost revenue and sponsorship so as has been said they really are left with 2 choices, he goes now or they simply do not renew his contract. Either way it has to be done as soon as possible to give as much time as possible to get the right coaching team in place.

The main problem is getting someone in for the first year and them knowing they have to use Harrisons signings that have been made(although it does look like a pretty strong team on paper) and almost could be treading water in their first year until they can make their own player changes.
