And with that statement abandon all hope ye fans have

I'll get the spade to start digging for the funeral

We should move for Purtill or, strategically, a junior coach at Wire.

Richard Marshall?

Good luck Ian, thanks for the Trophy.

YET AGAIN...Shocking timing, potential to disrupt Leigh Centurions before a big set of fixtures and takes away a lot of the positives that was being built up.
The RFL has to stop all these 'he's leaving next year' type signings and have a bloody transfer window or at least keep it until the end of season before coaches and players are spoken to.

What a fantastic advert for the 'building for 3 years' franchising this is proving.
We are now 2 key players and a coach down for next season (and I've no doubt we will lose more).
Remind me how this will improve our club and increase our support and profile exactly ?

The lack of investor speaks voulumes and isn't just 'recession based', only a idiot would invest in a club stuck in a dead league without any control in how it climbs the ladder and progresses.

Events like this make you totally disillusioned with the 'sport' of RL.

I hope the club are as candid as you are when speaking to the supporters as to the direction they think this club will be going in, in the future.

To be honest gutted but its hardly surprising is it, it was always going to happen.
I think hes worthy of a better club than Cas.
Hope we bring someone in we can afford and who can coach, Rowleys doing a grand job with the fitness and conditioning, so keep him in that position.
We cant afford to pay him what we are paying him and afford a decent team next season, unless another 500 more fans decide to sign up for LISA or the Co-operate Club.

Jeez folks it`s not like it`s never happened to us before as it folks.

I say well done to Basil and hope he pi%%es off the Cas fans by making them successful.
As they say as 1 door closes another 1 opens, just hoping controversial Kev is not an option....

What about another 500 supporters through the turnstiles.

This is the problem Bart,dont you think?

Well until I win the Euro Lottery it will always be the same.

well like all leythers gutted he's going, but to be honest as soon as thomas went the writting was firmly on the wall wasn't it. Just been on the cas board, what a miserable bunch they are, they do not seem to realise what a top rl coach they have. who next for the job, well i think i know who will get it, just hope i am wrong, it should i hope be advertised, would be fasinating to see who fancied the job. good luck ian you are a star in my eyes and always welcome back mate.
