OK time to hold my hands up, I've been thinking this all season. Probably fair to say that much more was expected of him, however we were fairly stacked in and around that position which probably didn't help. Although players don't always make great coaches, someone with that wealth of experience wouldn't be a bad shout, even as a number two.

I say fair play to anyone putting their hand up to come here given the circumstances. I've no doubt finances come in play. I think our only hope is finding someone hungry for the job (it certainly won't be for the money).

Everyone wrote off Burgess before he started at Warrington.

Yeah for a team like us Im not sure it even boils down to someone who can coach rugby brilliantly. I mean the players can all play the game but I think we really could do with a good man manager, we seem to have a lot of players in their comfort zone, this isnt a new thing I think we have had it at Fax for years. We really could do with someone who could give them a kick up the backside and look to get the best out of them. I think that is why I wouldn't mind Alan Kilshaw I feel he falls in to that idea.

The silence is deafening! I don't think we've ever gone so long with an inactive news update on the club's website - still waiting for Tangata's signing to be knocked off its perch (nearly 2 weeks ago) which included "........We’ll be bringing you more squad news and contract announcements in the coming days and weeks ahead as we build up to fixture release day. Stay tuned!". Well we're still waiting. Also still miffed about Kenny's immediate resignation which seems to have left the Ship Fax with no captain. I thought his resignation was a prelude to a swift takeover by a new BOD.

Latest rumour is were after Tommy tumbleweed .

Agreed. At a time when we are trying to raise much needed funds and selling season tickets we are hearing nowt. Very amateurish and slightly worrying.

Seems Bradford will be looking for a new coach as well with E O’C moving on.

The Bulls fans seem very triggered by it.

I made a few points and apparently I have an agenda about them but I can't work out what I said that is going to be totally wrong.

They will have the biggest budget in the division. They have already put together a very good squad that should have a chance of topping the league. New coach will no doubt be allowed to bring in some of his own players. There is very little chance of them gaining SL status in the foreseable future. This could affect who they can get to come to them as coach as now natural progression isn't making SL but instead the position is a stepping stone for someone to get a head coaches position in SL. The majority of other teams in the division are lowering their budgets in line with having no chance of SL status after this year. What am I missing?

Just missing the bit where IMG /SL have stated their aims of having 14 teams in SL and the bulls suddenly appear in 14th place in the IMG standings.

Either way, they'll still have Nobby pulling the strings in the background. Having someone like that around any club is not to be underestimated,

Doubt if SL will be expanded to 14 clubs, only recently McManus moaned about reduced central funding. Bradford might have a chance if Salford slip up, or the ludicrous situation of having a French team in SL so Catalans going into a FRENCH league!!!!!! (wow who'd have thought!). And I reckon if Toulouse fail to get promoted this weekend, they'll withdraw from the Championship. Also imo London will call it a day, which might save Fax from relegation next season.

Out of the Championship clubs Bulls were scored as 3rd behind Wakefield and Toulouse are you suggesting that other clubs would score higher than the Bulls? If so name them.

No. I'm suggesting that the bulls score is rigged, with full approval from SL/RFL/IMG.
