Yeah where's this come from? My week just got a whole lot better if true!

If this is a wind up it is in poor taste. If not it`s best news in ages.

Making this up would be like promising a kid a new bike for christmas then giving them a lump of coal and a slap in the face. Seriously bad taste.
Fingers crossed its true, we can only hope!

According to Mick Gledhill on Twitter there is the usual Monday press conference within the next hour, I guess we'd find out then. That said, I'd be surprised if it was true - I'd expect they'll give him the Easter fixtures at least if there was truth in it. If we're 0/2 from those, I'd expect huge pressure then.

I'm crossing everything

Frank is obviously somebody in the know, at a certain level.

He's not always been 100%, but I can't remember him calling a big one like this wrong.

He did only say [imight[/i, though.

I’ll be amazed if this is true. I don’t think things have really plumbed the depths yet. That’s not to say they won’t at some point or that I would be upset if he went.

I think he’s got time to turn it around but not too long. If we lose both Easter games which is distinctly possible he will be on very thin ice indeed.

The club has got time to turn it around but there is only time for one last attempt.
Jimmy has not shown enough to be entrusted with that final chance.

I'm inclined to agree.

who is available to replace Jimmy? Do you replace one failed coach with another like Wakey and hull kr. My choice would be Glenn Morrison and if we have to wait for him so be it

Wait until when? I'm not sure we the luxury of waiting around for a coach. I'd be straight in the phone to Brian Smith and see if he'd be willing to return for 6 months or so to try and get us back up, maybe with someone like Morrison alongside him if he fancied being head coach in 2017.

If we had to take the plunge and look for a new coach then I'd want Morrison too. Whether we could afford Smith as well until the end of the season and whether Morrison would want to work under him is another matter. We may not be able to afford to pay Lowes off and compensate Dewsbury either.

Failing that I'd consider Rowley (provided he isn't meant to be part of this Canadian club that's being formed).

I'd love to see Noble back at the Bulls.

I think his motivational skills would be what is needed to get the best out of the current crop of players. Player recruitment might be easier with him in charge, given his standing in the game.

I personally wouldn’t want Rowley. He did well with Leigh in a league with very little competition but was found wanting when faced with a sterner challenge. All that "we only play flare rugby" cobblers work well against part time opposition but not SL.

I don't rate Jimmy's coaching ability at all but I'm not sure on what grounds he could be fired? We're still unbeaten in the league and we were knocked out of a cup which practically everybody on this site said we didn't need to be in? I'm sure that he would have a case for unfair dismissal on those grounds. That said, I'd still sack him right now if it were possible.

Whilst I would love Nobby back - it's a huge risk for him if he doesn't get us up. Why risk his reputation at the club, especially with his gigs in the media etc he's probably better paid now than what we can offer him and he has nothing to prove - to Bulls fans anyway.

I'd be surprised if he is head coach of any club again to be honest - although if he was you could never rule us out of that equation totally should he change his mind. Maybe in a "director of rugby" style capacity though?

Re: Jimmy being fired today - Mick has said on Twitter today the club have dismissed it.
