I think Sinfield will be at Leicester at the start of their pre season training

You think providing him with a playing budget significantly greater than any we had during his playing days and massively increasing the size of the coaching team and coaching budget were him not being supported? What more do you want? He was then in charge of deciding how to spend those budgets.

If he wanted to coach why didn’t we just let him coach??

Sinny will leave with my blessings. He'll always be Welcome back too. Who can blame him for wanting out if the shambles our season has become......

Sounds like he wanted to be coach without all the scrutiny that goes with it

At least this is put in the open and we can all move on. Good luck to Kev hes paid his dues to Leeds. Some interesting posts on here with differing opinions.l believe that Kev has become frustrated with trying to run the playing side of the club at a time when outside factors have made progress difficult in terms of improving the team. His departure suggests that the next few years are going to be defined by careful financial management rather than additional investment. I suspect the urge to put his boots on and coach in a different environment was more fulfilling than his current role where the structure and potential investment means we are unlikely to challenge over the next couple of years and he would come under scrutiny in his role despite being handicapped in what he could actually deliver. In this scenario as well his son Jack may also come under pressure if we are still under performing in a couple of years time and he is in the first team squad. Essentially Kev is a winner and it does not look like we are going to win the superleague any time soon. I would be delighted if I have assessed this wrong and we build a good squad for next year but have low expectations

You know he's in charge of that shambles, right?

What has happened to proposed Kevin Sinfield Mural?

He's probably been given credit for things that he shouldn't have and been given blame in similar fashion. Overall it's hard to look at his time at the club (so far) as anything but spectacularly successful. But all jobs are a team effort. Over time it's difficult to hang on to good people and sometimes you give responsibility to people who let you down.

I think this year they might only get a couple of weeks off then start in mid July.

INOUT
Change like the wind you do.

I’m gutted he’s going. But…

• the success of Leeds is going to be based on youth development. We are absolutely top-4 at all age groups below first grade and we have some outstanding talent. We will be fine.

• GH doesn’t half get some pantomime villain stick. I’m on record being critical of the abject ness the club got itself into after the Goldens retired. Overall though he has done a fantastic job with the club.

• KS is a true legend of a bloke. But if there isn’t a role for him at Leeds then what is the drama? Losing Agar as well would have been a big issue but if he’s staying (maybe taking Kev’s role) I’m happy enough.

Leeds is a very special club. Honestly I’m getting sick of doom mongers. RL will look very different with full stadiums, great games and a competitive Leeds side in the mix again.

Not sure what to make of this.
On one hand the guy has done enough for Leeds as a player to get plenty of credits.
I always thought it was a gamble giving him the DOR gig at Leeds in which he made some good signings but also gave contracts out to his mates and made some bad signings admittedly at the start of his role.
The fact Leeds have spent big on new recruits is something I believe Kev engineered and maybe without him we wouldn`t have got these players.
Was he taking the club forward?
Possibly but would he have done it without the financial backing?
Has he used Leeds as a stepping stone to further his career?
Possibly not as he has gone from the Boardroom to the playing field.
In the end he has taken the decision to earn himself more money for a coaching role and maybe one day we will see him sat alongside the England RU coach.
On another note does Sinfield still own that club/bar near Oldham?
