Mark I always respect your opinion on here but I do have to disagree a bit on Tony Rea. The bit about coaches having not being judged until they have the squad that they wanted with signings that they make has some merit as a coach will want a certain style of play and players to suit that.
But the bottom line is that a coach's main responsibility is to get the best out of the players that he has. I am certainly not saying that we had a great squad but clearly Tony wasn't able to get the vast majority of the squad to play anywhere near their ability otherwise we would have had a better season than we did.
In my opinion it was a bad decision to appoint Tony to the full-time role and nothing he has done since that time has given me any reason to change that opinion.

If the club get another "fresh start" and keep Tony Rea as the coach then I think it will be a very short lived fresh start. Although to be honest I cant see where they are going to get enough players to give any coach much of a chance of success.

And one already left gets a 2 year deal at Cas. Powell even states that Channing's tackling has improved massively since he joined Cas. What does that say about encroaching set up.

I always liked Channing, thought he had a great attitude - even with us his tackling wasn't as bad as say Sarginson's. I think Cas may have got themselves a little diamond there, our loss sadly.

I was pretty sceptical when we signed channing, a small guy who didn't seem to be cutting it at London, it seemed like a pointless signing at the time. I'll happily admit to being wrong. As pointed out, his attitude, work ethic are superb, great footwork, evasive with decent speed and a good finisher. Sure his tackling needed to improve, Benny Westwood ran all over him first game, but it made him stronger and he earnt a decent contract. Really nice guy too.

And he's Welsh

Can't have everything in life!
