Safe pair? Well hopefully the some of those high calibre applicants from both sides of the world will reapply!!!

Names I’d like the club to at least inquire about:

Danny Ward (wants to coach, interviewed for Cas)

Lee Radford (I know he’s just got an NRL gig but worth an ask).

Brian McDermott (again, long shot)

Paul Anderson (maybe he’d take it alongside his England duties)

Richard Marshall (knows the Championship well, youngish, would he leave Wire?)

James Ford (at the shambles that's Wakey would he come to us)

People who the club will interview:

Lee Greenwood
Leigh Beattie

Someone mentioned Justin Morgan to me. I’ve not heard that name in a while. What’s he doing these days?

Just pay Danny Ward whatever he wants to come and sort this rabble out.

This. Although some of the names are nice, a lot have been out of the game for a decade.

Wards the stand out for me. Whether he would come is another matter, but SL opportunities look extremely limited, particularly in the immediate future. We've invested well in the squad, now invest in the coach.

I'd say that working for Nigel isn't exactly a major draw for an aspiring coach. I wonder how much say MD really had when it came to recruitment with Nigel, the CEO and Nobby all weighing in?

The business model of relying on loanees and dual reg doesn't breed consistency or team spirit either.

Previous recruitment has looked OK on paper but we seem to have signed a few injury prone players and when they're out of the side we seriously lack leadership.

If anyone wants to spam Danny on his twitter and beg him to come sort this mess out... https://twitter.com/D_Wardy17

Ill throw some other names in to the mix that have been involved in the game but havnt been metioned yet for the sake of it.

Dennis Betts
Simon Finnegan
John Duffy
Disco

Morrison

just pray greenwood doesn't string 2 wins together, he'll end up the new cheap option

Not until they have scoured the world for the best option though.

Danny Ward would be my pick if we're playing fantasy rugby. That would be an appointment that would offer some hope and a coach I'd trust to improve the players we already have in the short term. Whether he would risk his reputation by coming to Bradford.. I'm not sure.

Somebody like Leon or Morrison would be popular amongst fans but I'm not convinced either are what we need.

But then I don't suppose there is a queue of top coaches banging down the door to Nigels office.
