Lingard, nudge nudge wink wink

As you were

Is he signing before or after Ford?

Hahaha



This made me laugh. Love a good Phoenix Nights reference!

Lingard has overseen a Batley side that is gritty, full of endeavour, hard to beat and greater than the sum of its parts. The problem with that is that John Kear also oversaw a Batley side that was gritty, full of endeavour, hard to beat and greater than the sum of its parts.

For me richard Marshall got a raw deal at fax after all he had done achieving over 3 years. The S alford decision for me came too soon( have the improved this year ? ) . I think marshall could inspire both the Bulls team and reignite the crowds as well. He is a very good communicator at numerous levels .

Any statisticians know what the record is for the time taken from sacking a coach to appointing a new head coach? Let’s hope Nige is better at picking coaches than owners.

Gone very quiet hasn't it? In fact there's been very little in the way of anything coming out of the club really. No wonder traffic has dried up on here. Poor do.

I received an email survey asking why everyone had stopped coming. Does that count?

Just checked and I've had one too. I've sent them my two penneth.

4 wins from 6 games under Mark Dunning. Unless they know there would be a backlash (would there be?) I can’t see passed Dunning getting the job unless we have a big name lined up.

If Dunning can get improved performances and results then he's definitely got a chance. We're not made of money so may struggle to attract a big name but then again the last two coaches were very big names so who knows?

It's an important appointment as we all know with rumours of a re-structure being in the mix. We need someone that can get the side playing well but can also attract good quality players. Dunning may not have the reputation to do that last part.

It's pathetic isn't it

Kear left on April 26th - almost TWO MONTHS ago. Ample time to conduct 'a thorough process' or whatever phrase they trotted out

It's impossible to avoid the conclusion that it's all a cost-saving exercise - so either do the honest thing and appoint Dunning (which surely we all now expect) or produce a coach from what we were told was a large field of suitable candidates.
