Oh I'm not saying he should stay, just that it's a bad time to be looking for a top class coach. I don't know much about Hanley's links to the board or whatever, just wondering if everyone's sure he would take the job. If not, who else is available? It's a bit of a mess for any coach to be walking into, since there'd be so little scope for getting your own players in, working on your own patterns etc.

heard that as well....may be a rumour but the rfl warned warrington to keep there distance as regards to smith..hope we do get him the sooner the better...whats phil chadwick doing these days i`d love to see him with this bunch of no hopers up lymm damm...something like that wud sort this pathetic bunch out

I absolutely agree Geordie, the KK comparison is spot on, too many 'powers above' have a say in on the field stuff, for me, and that was one of the main reasons to Paul leaving.

I'm in that club too. Thirty plus years of support and I hate James Lowes being Head Coach.

I'd like to know how many of the crowd who wanted Cullen removed - I was definitely not one of them - would have done so had they known Lowes was to be the replacement.

hanley did nothing at cas cos we didnt listen to him.for him to be effective you need the board to back him 100%
in 2004 hanley came in and listed everything that needed changing at the club top to bottom.
in our wisdom we ignored most of it he left and we went down the cheap gary mercer route to nl1.
whilst i dont have much time for hanley the person hanley the coach is a winner.

For me - fantastic player as he was - Hanley wouldn't be the answer. Look at all of his appopintments and they've never been exactly smooth for the clubs concerned or always led to success.

Millward ? Was he found out at Wigan?

Smith ? Jumped from Leeds before he was pushed?
