Does this sacking mean Steve McNamara is now hot property?

lol, only if you want tarmac laid badly!

Am i right in thinking that Powell used to coach at Leeds?...And would he be prepared to go back there?Somehow i doubt it...

Whilst he doesn't own Leeds, he is very much the man holding the purse strings...very tightly too!

Darryl Powell spotted in Trinity LEEDS this morning, coincidence? I'm led to believe that Powell has been interviewed for the role already.

I think you use of the word Bizarre is bizarre

It is quite common for a coach or player who has been succesdful to become jaded and lose their edge.

He has been very successful in the past only time will tell if he has still got the drive to go on and be successful elsewhere.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him as the next England coach, it will be interesting to see how that works out

My mother in law is in Leeds today, wonder id she has been interviewed.

Almost didn't understand the last part of your sentence due to the misspelling of "if"...

I wouldn't know if she's been interviewed or not, I'm just passing on the information that I've been told by Pete.

Think now is the right time. He clearly had a great bond with the senior players when he took over (that went back to his time their as assistant in 2004/05) and that played a key role in them being successful come crunch time but with those slowly fading out (JJB will probably retire and Ablett rumoured to be leaving) it leaves hardly anyone left from that group and i don’t feel he has that same connection to the newer group of lads coming through.

Nothing will change what he’s achieved, even though some ‘fans’ have been desperate to in the last 8 years. Some sections of the support just could never be man enough to admit they were wrong about him and have instead tried their hardest to take credit away from him and spread nonsense rumours about him all during his time. It has shown the really true pathetic type of supporter.

Don't worry that particular poster doesn't understand anything.

According to the press their last league win was against us. IIRC they were very lucky to even win that game.

McD has survived and done well this long off the back of a team Tony Smith built. Since then their recruitment hasn't been as good, leading to the critical point at the end of 2017 when they finally lost the remains of that very powerful squad. In the early years, the squad virtually picked itself with only a bit of motivation needed. Players like Sinfield, Mags, Burrow, JP actually ran the team. Now they've all gone, McD has finally been exposed.

I,m not aware of anyone saying he is, maybe you are reading it as an inference.

ferres top of that list presumably?

wondering if sheens might retire at hull kr and the peacock effect might lead McDermott to them
