It's amber remember? don't say yellow or you'll upset the natives

So a man that wanted us to merge with Wakey, and also a man with his weekly predictions hardly as any confidence in Cas winning matches, and now he's gonna be our new head coach, great.

Just the same in my book mate

you heard owt about you lot getting Francis Cummings ?

I would probably take Darryl Powell, Brian Noble and Mark Aston. The rest I wouldn't be interested in

I would scrub aston from that list but totally agree with the rest of the sentiment...luckily for us DP is staying but whoever gets him when he goes will be getting QUALITY!

I think Aston has done pretty well with the restrictions he has, given more room to move with regards budget etc he could probably do a lot better

Hells Bells!

What does this actually say about how attractive the coaching position is at Cas??

If only half the rumours are correct then he must be the 3rd or 4th choice with the rest having turned the job down.

Exactly how is this job being sold to the candidates? I suspect RW's involvement has sealed it's fate!!!

Maybe but I dont think he is of the right quality for where you are and where your bod (say) you want to be as a club....also heard a bit about his management style that put me off a bit....nowt I can repeat online unfortunately..

True, but imo neither is Millward. The circumstances which he left Saints and Wigan tell me he isn't right for us nevermind his coaching style

If were are comparing these to Millward or looking at past coaching jobs:

Fev - Daryl Powell - failed at Leeds
Batley - Karl Harrison - failed at Salford
Widnes - Denis Betts - failing at Widnes
Sheffield - Mark Aston - no SL/NRL experience
Halifax - Matt Calland & Brian Noble- Calland sacked
Barrow - Dave Clark - no SL/NRL experience
Hunslet - Paul March- no SL/NRL experience
York - Dave Woods - failing at York
Dewsbury - Warren Jowett- failing at Dewsbury
Toulouse - Gilles Dumas-failing at Toulouse

Just my opinion mind..

Agree mate....he is only coming for a slice of your cake(cheque)
he says too many daft things for my liking and there are enough negatives from various areas to suggest he has an ego bigger than any club he works for...Players don't want a dictator the want a coach mate..

I was joking earlier to be honest If he has to go to a SL team I would prefer it to be one over the penines and take his merger crap over there with him ...or even better in Australia..

I don't know anyone needs to read the papers and read press releases becuase the number of people on here who "know for sure" we have offered the job to several people who have turned it down which clearly means that we must be crap, Richard Wright upsets them and we are not attractive.
I turn down people for jobs all the time for an array of reasons - like it or not, the appointment is going to HAVE to work with our board and vice versa, so this is EXACTLY the time when we should iron these issues out....... One does not join our board or become our CEO to make money becuase sport is a well known bad investment, so; before we go steaming in blaming all concerned, unless someone comes to the table with money to take over and change the structure of the business, I am relatively grateful for the modest but stable and predictable and well managed budget we have, I would rather be stable and evolving as we are that be where Wakey, Catalan, London, Wales, Widnes..... etc are or were.

Could it be, go with me for a second, it is a leap of faith: That nobody actually knows anything for sure, that all these are opinions no more valid than mine and in the end it will be hugely underwhelming when the announcement comes that "X person has got the job, yes we were in discussion with others, but we got our man in the end"

Then we can all start "knowing for sure" that 20 people turned us down, Cas are lying and actually who we got was 23rd choice after the golden gamble sellers, the bloke who does the PA's and that geezer who runs the sweet stall near the bar?

He also brought alot of players that would bring leeds success in years to come.
