Yeah, but that won't happen either. If the board still think he's the "best young coach" in SL thenhe'll be on a fair bit and he's not going to chuck gthat money away whether it's popular with the fans or not.

Not for long, I have McNamara in the boot of my car. I'm going to tie him up in my cellar, take a big electric cattle prod and tell him that he is going to resign after the Leeds game. Firstly he'll refuse, but after he realizes what an idiot he is and that he would be better suited to a NL1/NL2 job then he'll run crying out of my house like a little girl and we'll see in T&A "disappearance of McNamara leads to appointance of new head coach: (Hanley, Millward, Murray, Smith ANYONE!)

The gentlemen of the West Yorkshire Constabulary will be waiting upon you shortly.

They will be from Leeds, of course.

So Macca's had "the vote of confidence". It can't be long before he's eventually out then!

Unfortunately I find it hard to see any prospect of improvement while he remains in charge. The deterioration over the past 3 years speaks for itself and carries more weight than any game where we've played well for 40mins. How much this decline is purely down to Macca is anyone's guess but I suspect that cost cutting has a lot to do with it.

Of course the club are skint and will have no wish to change coaches given the expense but if the decline continues, and I see no reason to suggest it won't then their hands may be forced.

Well lets just hope the sort it quick! Because come Friday we are against a good team (hate having to say that!) and if the performance is not there - and i do not mean win - by that then the fans will be calling at the match for both the coach and chairman.
Personally I will back the team if they give 100% effort for 80mins

Red Amber and Black Fantasy Rugby League Champion 2012. By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013 Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know: Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017:Others/combustable.gif



As it has been mentioned elsewhere, he should walk, not be sacked so we do not have to pay him off. He has been an atrocious appointment and has to face facts that he cannot sort this.

Of course, it should also be mentioned that more and more want him out now too. Time to see sense and face facts Mr M, you are failing and not many seem to want you around anymore.

I wonder if, rather than facing mass stoning at Odsal on Friday, you will now be rightfully recognised as a true visionary?
