Paul Rowley definitely. He's Leigh through and through and knows his stuff.

I've said before that I think there is more to the new coach than just running the 1st team.
Think it will be more to do with the player development side of the club, from youth all the way up - carrying on what Millward was doing.
It's all well and good saying we don't need to apply for a franchise for another couple of years, but the right structures wont happen overnight.
I reckon Rowley/Jukes will be doing most of the 1st team training even if we do drag someone else in

i cant believe this is still going on stop faffin about and appoint the coach,this is supposed to be a pro club so act like it!!!!!

There's nothing the club can do if VISA's are the problem.

it did say in the trade press last week they were hoping to hear something last week, obviously been hold ups with the visa stuff. I am not rowley's biggest fan, however after the salford game you'd have to be impressed at how he has assembled the team, and the way in which he has got them playing, then other problem was imo when his dad was ceo i was very critical of him, as no matter how poorly he may of performed he would not of been sacked, now allan aint at the club, if paul was appointed, he would be judged on his performance, ie results and how he handled the job.

Alan and Paul are 2 smashing blokes and Leigh through and through. I have never understood criticism of these 2. I wish Alan was back at the club as CEO and just give the Head Coaching job to Paul. He did a good job under very difficult conditions when he was first given the job at the end of the 2010 season to try and avoid relegation.

This season would be ideal for him as we are a bit like SL as there is no promotion or relegation and not much to play for so not really any pressure.

Should we not be heaping a lot of praise on Neal Dukes aswell people. When this was first put out is was double act now it seems that it's down to one man. Can anyone shed any light on this.

We will have to take it that Paul and Neil are the coaching duo until notified otherwise things may become clearer tonight at the fans forum, my guess is that it is visa problems with both applicants as under the current criteria it is extremely difficult to get a working visa for this country.

There is everything to play for and if we genuinely have Sl aspirations then there is masses of pressure on everyone at the club to do well.

After the Halifax result surely the calls for Rowley are too loud to ignore. Get it sorted Leigh.

Keith Freer explained loud and clear the clubs stance at the fans forum. Transparency and honesty.

I have to give the board total respect for their stance on this.
Start behaving dishonestly now and no one will want to come to work or play for us.

I agree hopefully the season starts without their VISA' S going through then Rowely can be appointed & we get another player on board

GIVE IT ROWLEY, SAVE TIME AND MONEY.

THEY CANT READ THE ANSWER BY DEMON AS ABOVE

Leigh have entered into a verbal agreement which is binding in law, that plus the moral issues.
