Quote: Odsal Outlaw "Sack him. Hes had more than a chance. Time to freshen it up.

Nobody minds a team losing who look like they are giving it everything and just coming up short. But we just look crap.

"There were a lot of things that looked rusty. It wasn't a great performance at all. Maybe it was part of a process we need to go through as a group to get to where we want to get to." Mcnamara

Really??? We need to get battered twice? If so then fair enough, I await the masterplan coming to fruition. Otherwise, I await his sacking.'"

Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Survival in SL (or any sport) is a numbers game though and so the issue here is not whether we sack the coach, or any other action/s, but what are the financial consequences of action or inaction.

I have made the point for a long time that our home 'form' has been seemingly designed to drive away the long-suffering home fans, and as a policy that has been quite successful, but we have done some more very serious damage on that score this weekend.

IF we "do" something - (whatever that something is) or if we do nothing, either way there are financial implications, and they need to be counted. So for example IF we do nothing, and IF nothing at home improves, the this time next year we may be down to 6-7K gates. This is just a hypothetical scenario, but the point I am making is that if (say) the answer was to spend £0.5 million on player X, and we "can't afford it", we might end up "reverse spending" that or more, by way of decreased revenue anyway.

The number of people I know who used to go, but no longer are prepared to spend their money, has significantly increased. At our club last night, there are some very long-standing and very loyal supporters who have been going for decades, and will continue to go, but the thing is that all of them - ALL of them - are really, really disillusioned with the situation and none of them are getting any enjoyment out of going to Odsal any more. In a business venture that is part of the entertainment industry, that's a recipe for the biggest of disasters.'"


Out of our group of 6 yesterday there's only one now considering going to the Cas match. The majority of us have been fans since the 80s, however it's getting to the stage where we're picking our home games rather than going to every one like we do with away ones.

Its hard to blame anyone for not going at the moment. Watching rugby at Odsal over the past three seasons has been thoroughly miserable. Even as a season ticket holder I have to say if Friday's a poor evening ill watch the game from the comfort of my own home as opposed to on a crumbling terrace with a few more depressed people! I just cant get my head around the total lack of action taken against the coach. Just how long are they going to give him?

Saw the highlights and thought your defence was terrible, no urgency at all and when you give saints that much space theirs only ever going to be one result, I suppose you've got to give them a chance with all your new signings I'm sure they'll come good but wether Macca will be in charge by then I'm not so sure.

New faces, new shirts same old gameplay/tactics. Same depressing walk home from Odsal, it's like we went back in time to last year! It was so depressing it was almost funny! The players have no desire or motivation, we can't have turned all the new Players bad in such a short time can we? I just hope that the we have a little cash left over for a rainy day some time soon to entice a real Coach to gloomy old Odsal. Stevie "Turnip Head" should have saved the money he spent on Sculthorpe (we didn't want injury prone Morrison) and bought a new playbook on Ebay.......

Mr Hood please tell us you are already in talks with our new Head Coach!! We cannot afford to carry on the season like we did last year foolishly living in hope. You are driving us to drink and some of us can't afford to support the Bulls and drink away the depression.... icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED: icon_biggrin.gifRUNK:

As an aside from the "sack Macca" thread, I feel that this point is more pertinent. It has oft been said that we cannot afford to get rid of this excuse for a coach because it will cost us money that we simply do not have at our disposal.

This problem would be solved easily if our esteemed coach would actually face reality and admit that he is incapable of doing this job whatsoever. He has been a complete failure and has dragged our club into the gutter so much that even bloody Wakefield fans are having a good laugh at us. He has dragged us completely backwards, he is incapable of sorting out our failings and his refusal to walk and hold us to ranson is just making matters worse.

He has publicly said that he does not read these boards yet members of his family do. Maybe they can pass on this message to him as it appears that he cannot hear, or read, never mind coach if he thinks that he is still wanted at the club. Hiding behing an equally inept chairman makes it even worse.

Mr McNamara, I believe that either you, or someone close to you will read this. You really need to go and walk away and let us move on from your pathetic reign in charge of the side. You are incapable of sorting the mess that you have gotten us into and if you cannot see this then you are actually even more clueless than I originally thought you were.

Read the opinions of many fans on here, the T&A board, the BBC board and other RL based forums (even those of other clubs) and see what people think of you. In four short years you have turned the RL World Champions into currently the worst team in super league yet you still think you can do a good job.

You can't. Go now.

Indeed I do. Because I feel passionately about it. However, you don't have to read it if it bothers you so much.

Hang on. How would he know what you had put, until he reads it, by which time . . .

Given that this was posted on a "soon to be merged" thread called "Walk Away Mr McNamara", I would have thought it was quite obvious what the subject matter of my post was going to be. icon_wink.gif

Eddie, your suggestion that a man should effectively donate between six months and a year's salary to the club would carry more weight if you yourself had found twenty-five quid for the Burgii twins in the close-season.

Ah! This again. At the time I apologised for forgetting about this due to other slightly more important things that were going on in my life at the time.

However the similarity between one payment of £25 against the amount of money that McNamara's continued presence at the club is costing in regards to the rapidly dwindling fans is a bit of a curious point to me.

Anyway, I am not asking him to donate anything. He will have been well rewarded for his "efforts" over the last four seasons and he has taken more out than he should ever have had. To even think of having to pay him off is ridiculous.
