Smoke and fire, has he gone?

I heard he gone don’t know if true or not I also heard he as had a few meetings with atherton collieries

He Defo gone but will honour his investment till the end of the season

Ddespicable

If he’s gone we can’t afford a top coach- unless Dr Koukash takes over.

What are you basing this on? If this is true very very deep water ahead

Derek seems like a man not to quit, especially so soon after investing heavily in the team this season

Heavily investing and running the club at a loss every month is going to take its toll on you.

I don’t blame him. Why put up with the hassle

He caused the hassle but are we sure he's gone

Agreed. No idea if he’s gone

He going nowhere till end of season he hounouring investment just like his mate at Salford did monkey see monkey do

I assume some players have 2 year contracts? Will we be able to afford them next year???? Also will a coach sign a top coach sign a 2/3 year contract with the uncertainty ahead????

If not then we will be another Bradford no decent coach in right frame of mind would come to this shambles at he moment. Why you think Baptiste was let go cause he was on massive bucks and bring the wage bill down

If he does go then he will never be able to show his face in the town again. He would be forever labelled a failure and a quitter. And I would really fear for the future of the club.

At the end of the day, late tries in two games could make a massive difference to this club.

Or maybe cause he wanted to go back home to earn bigger corn, not as if Higham will be playing for free, and who’s to say we won’t Replace baptise in some other form, what’s your source on DB? As last week he was saying how committed he is and said it again on BBC manc through the week. Aren’t you the guy who swore blind we where replacing Salford in superleague just over a few weeks ago? That that was 100% going to happen?
