B0llocks,

But in the mean time he's signed the players, ran pre season, beat everyone and nobody thought hey go let's save a few bob and give Paul a crack?

A crack at a job that he's previously been promised

B0llocks to you too. He was asked before the job was advertised, HE DIDN'T APPLY. End of discussion. By the way I didn't say I disagreed with you. Were you at the fans forum last week? Keith Freer answered your query

Apply for what??? Only job that's advertised is for a General Manager, show me the head coach advert and the day Paul missed that deadline and I'll show you button moon!!

By the way I don't have a query just a wish to give a born and bred leyther a crack at coaching his home town team with a team he's built!!

Job advertised in Trade press for Head Coach way back in September (ish)

Lets hope VISA's do get declined

No lets not. Lets leave it to the gentlemen - and that is what they are by sticking to their guns - let this situation run it's co. Paul did not apply for the job at first that is why we are looking outside. On previous performances I wouldn't have liked Paul to take over, but now if the board get the letter from UK Borders telling then that the candidate has had his visa refused then I do think Paul and Neil should get the job. Our board of directors is spot on sticking to the path they have started. One thing that really is getting to me now is why at the beging it was Paul Rowley and Neil Dukes who had got this team together and into shape. Now why is it Paul who is getting all the praise and being pushed to the front? Can someone please answer this for me.

You sure about that Fred?

It was in the League Express in September.

hear hear tipster ste.....why waste money on a johnny foreigner who will be off to salford or some other bottom feeder in super league first chance he gets.

Remember we are in a non promotion or relegation league,mind you we may get a tick for a foreign coach

Next time you see Rob Parker and Bob Beswick ask them for starters who persuaded them to sign for Leyth??? All due respect to Jukesy it wasn't him!! You are praising a board for staying on a path to spend £30-£40k when we could save that, it's half The money we owed the tax man!!

He only missed the deadline Ste because he didn't want the job...at the time. He has done an amazing job since, no one can doubt that.

Rowley has been appointed according to Keith Latham https://twitter.com/#!/Keithlatham4588

Absolutely, the General manager advert was only put in after the two candidates had been chosen to comply with Visa regulations (it's all there in the fans forum videos).
Plus as a verbal contract has been agreed then 'staying on a path etc..' is not only a lawfull agreed contract but the honourable thing to do, (though TBH I have always said that Rolls should get the job since when basil jumped ship)

So when Rob and Bob came to Leigh, if the way the back room was run was a shambles and the facilities were rubbish then they would have signed just because of Paul. Do me a favour. This club is not just Paul Rowley.

Judging by the way the GM advert was worded the LSV would have covered some of that salary. However I don't see why Keith Latham would put a rumour on Twitter. Good luck to Paul if true
