His outlandish recruitment has led to our current position and falling crowds. This will have a rather destabilising effect with the Odsal millstone around our necks.

I think you're underplaying that a bit.

Coaches seem to be signed to season, or multi season, contracts just like players and are far from being like an office worker or workman. I guess the same rationale applies, as it does to players [that there is little point in keeping someone who doesn't want to be there] but the clubs, like the coaches, are entitled to have their contracted employees see out their contracts or be compensated.

It's true the coach may have some wording in his contract [the old - if an SL club comes in for me, clause] which may even deny the right to be compensated, but we are definitely in the land of, 'who knows', over things like that.

This was evident when everyone was calling for McNamara to go but we could not afford to pay his contract up. It wasn't simply a case of giving him 2 weeks notice.

As Marc Green found to his cost with Cummins

Now that there have been rumours of an Ausie coach how many of us would now be disappointed if Glen got the job. It might seem a harsh question on Glen but I believe many have now changed their minds as they think about it. It does show how narrow sighted we were initially when it was Glen as red hot favourite with B Smith, Naylor, chap at Fax and maybe Elliot as other possibilities. Not many mentioned other Ausie names as we were all convinced it was Glen or someone close to the club.
It may still be Glen but if it is why has it taken so long when it seemed to be a done deal.
If Glen doesn't get it I don't see what he can do at Dewsbury in the next few years to up his status for the next time. It is now or never for him ---- possibly?

Would be slightly different if said assistant with only 6m left on his contract mutually agreed with his current club to leave early to take up a head coaches job?

Matt Adamson apparently?

2 years as an assistant before being sacked and been a commentator since. Jesus they're taking Mick with season ticket holders money if they appoint him....

Would be absolutely livid

Been coaching at Melbourne from what I can gather.

Adamson would be an unexpected choice if he's brought in. Lets see what happens over the next few days.

Best not Bully B, a bit too much personal personal contact info in that.
Bulliac.

Wow, this is the same Matt Adamson that played for Leeds all those years ago?

Let's hope we don't take up the first referee.

Although I'm going to spend the evening sending him texts! [size(not really, just in case somebody does).[/size

Haha, this was my first thought!

Ask him if he has any half backs spare he can lend his mate Matt for half a season
