Leigh away 2015 all over again!

I know a handful of players that played under him... What was said was more negative than positive.

Working wonders at Gloucester doesn’t constitute to proven for top of league 1 and aiming towards top of championship in 2019 IMO

Does anyone find it odd that on the official webpage we have moved to quash the Jon Sharpe rumours while actually advertising the job in the same piece? I'm not sure advertising the role in the news column on the club website is standard practice. Just seems unusual.

My thoughts too. Be one hell of a task to get a victory there.

If we win it will be massive and i don't think we'll look back as i personally believe York will go up this year.

Sounds like someone got a bit ahead of themselves when they spoke to Matthew Shaw. Now the club seems to be behind the curve. They've had weeks to organise this and now they look like it's being cobbled together in a hurry. Why else would you interview head coaches without the owner being on the panel?

The panel is made up of two people without coaching or playing experience and one who will be reporting to whoever gets the job. I've nothing against any of them but I'm not sure it's appropriate that the two non coaches do this.

Doesn't inspire confidence in the management.

Spot on

I have no inside track, haven't a clue who is going to be coach - I do know that a Sharp or Anderson appointment isn't going to inspire me to part with cash for a season ticket, whilst an appointment of someone young, bright and looking to play modern attractive rugby league, is.

This appointment is a big statement of intent from the club, so let's see where they go with it.

I do happen to know that Matt Diskin has thrown his hat into the ring

Matt Diskin would be brilliant.

I suspect that with Chalmers being in Oz for a while and hoping to persuade Toovey to stay on, other Coach's have made tentative enquiries about the job should it become available which it has, but as usual someone has spoke out of turn getting the info wrong and the usual rumour mill gets grinding once again. I suspect Chalmers is still in Oz so it would make sense to have people he trusts to do the interviews, no idea on McFarlane but Bastian and Duffy have enough nous between them to make the right call!
Stops the off season being boring but like most it would be nice to have a boring one once in a while!

Apparently Elvis, Lord Lucan and Shergar have submitted early applications to Stuart

I know it's important to get the right man for the job but having a 3 man team to recommend a new coach??? I wonder if other league 1 or even championship clubs would do that.

You would expect something like that to happen at Barcelona or Real Madrid not little league 1 Bradford Bulls. Chalmers is back and was at training last night and told the players pretty much what we all know about the coach situation. I find it a bit baffling the process is gonna take so long
