We must not give anyone a contract until it is known who will be running the club. The decision cannot be made by current Directors who are resigning at the end of the season - we could get lumbered with someone that a 'new owner' doesn't agree with.

Let's not forget that whoever becomes coach is responsible for maintaining & improving crowds by way of the type of rugby played - would hate to loose the 1000 we have got back this season.
Poor coach / players = less crowds = less income = poorer players = lesser crowds = poorer players etc etc. until we reach the Oldham / Rochdale level.

I doubt Keiron would take hes on a good wage at Sints and enjoys it , he lives in Leigh does he really need the grief some of the expert fans would undoubtabley give him? i would have him in a shot but we'll see.

Does anyone know what Martin Compton has been up to since the demise of Blackpool??

We could do a lot worse......

Did well but was with an expensively assembled squad if memory serves me right.

The lad got Hobbo playing out of his skin (and into the CH1 team of the year if memory serves!)......so his motivational skills aren't in doubt!!!

Spoke to Martin a couple of months back , he was considering an offer from an amatuer club at the time , not sure which one

Karl Harrison with Mal Alker as assistant

sorry not rowley for me been there crap season relegated bring turks back if we can get him great coach 3 grand finals in 4 seasons good record

would also like to thank IM for the work he has done but also say a sorry to all those i had a bet with when he landed who said he wouldnt see his contract out and be gone when something better comes along seems they were right

Have you payed em out twice ?

Heard Shaun McRae on GMR tonight saying he thought Leigh would attract a lot of applicants.
He thought it would be a good job for a SL assistant coach making the next step up the coaching ladder.

On that basis Purtill would be ideal - but the finances need to be sorted first!!

Would love Karl Harrison but think he`s nailed on for the Fax job............ next choice would be Purtill or Paul Anderson.

Karl Harrison is the wrong man for us. John Pendleburys name has been mentioned. Excellent rugby brain and work ethic not sure how long he has been away from the game to take us forward. I have a funny feeling that our arch nemesis from swinton may throw his cap in for the job and we could do worse. I would also like to thank Ian Milward for all his hard work and the way the team has grown but I hope he flops at Cas. I also hope that they give us a friendly around christmas and we do them.
