Leeds is a Hetherington egotrip, Kath and Agar messed up Hull, now Gary and Richard are messing up Leeds, with Gary already messed up the RFL. The Hetheringtons are not good for RFL.

I think the key thing is that Sinfield is being groomed to have this and more of GH’s role for many many years to come. IF (and it’s an IF) he turns it around he could be here for another 20 years. Furner was 3 years and most likely returning to Australia afterwards. Think that was a key problem really, the rebuilding of the squad to a competitive one was at best case scenario going to take 3-4 years.....which is exactly when Furner would’ve been leaving. What good is that to a guy who will have had in his hopes to impress those Down Under into offering him a head coaches gig in a few years time?

So your saying he opted to keep the guy who picked the wrong guy?
You don’t think this 20 year relationship he has is clouding his judgement?
Sinfield has done the wrong thing staying at Leeds. He should have gone out and learnt new stuff from elsewhere- as clearly carrying on with the old stuff isn’t working for this particular set of players. But he has no experience of anything else. JP and maguire got it right,
“Legends” staying at the club and taking on big responsibilities early on doesn’t seem to work Sinfield, Cunningham, Long.....

Depends how blunt the axe is

Like in many walks of life if a Director hires the wrong employee and goes to his boss and say think we made a mistake hiring this guy, its the employee not the director that will go.

Are you suggesting GH should have got rid if Sinfield and kept the ‘wrong guy’ instead?

It’s clear many people including a lot of Leeds fans are willing for Sinfield to fail, it’s a very British trait we like to see successful people fail for some reason.

Sinfield was employed to implement a long term strategy to turn the club around he has insisted there is no quick fix and it will take time if he and GH thought Furner wasn’t the right coach to implement their plan than it’s best to sort that out rather than let it carry on

No Leeds fans are willing for him to fail, some are just rightly judging him based on what he’s done in this role so far, not what he did on the pitch.
