Can't say I'm bothered that we 'missed out' on Morgan but wouldn't rate Millward much better. Some part-time fans might see Millward as a 'big name' on the basis that he's got a high media profile and used to coach Saints during a period of success but to those of us actually attending matches regularly it's hardly an appointment to sell season tickets next year.

As has been noted elsewhere this was an opportunity to continue the forward momentum but despite seemingly taking their time over the appointment our fantastic board seem to have stuffed it up again

As I suspected Gentle never even signed, had interviews like every other coach in the mix, but that's all.

I wonder if gentle has had interviews with a few diff clubs if I was cas fan wud be bit disappointed as they really was expecting him to be at they're club next season

If it is millward i dont think i'm going to bother buying a season ticket for the first time in 8 seasons, the guy is not good enough for a team like us.

told by who mate ?

Agreed. Milldred is a moron.

Watch the sparks fly when Georgie Best hears about this one!

Gentle looks set for Hull FC

Dont know who is spouting the Millward tripe but he will not be the coach for next season!!

Its silly season, snowballs gather pace.

Have you heard the Adrian Lam rumour too

Bit of a chicken & egg scenario really.

The series of events described by sixtogo seems feasible and even if it turns out to be someone other than Millward, assuming its not one of the fans' preferred choices (not entirely clear who that is btw) then that'll be most likely down to the fact Cas are unable to promise the sort of money for players that other SL clubs can.

I don't profess to have any inside knowledge of Cas' finances but would guess we are running at spending a 3 or 4 hundred Grand short of the salary cap which must be an inhibiting factor to any potential new coach when you know that most of your competition are spending up to the cap.

By refusing to by a season ticket for next season you're only making the financial cycle worse.

In the long term if we do get into the new stadium then there's no reason why we can't bring in the money required to spend up to the cap and compete on a level footing but until that point unless we miraculously get a multi-millionaire backer we're always gonna be stuck in this position.

So Wayne, if it isn't Millward, is it someone the Cas fans will be happier with?
