Powell is not good enough, that's obvious. It's also obvious that he should never have been put in that position by the inept board and owner.
The club should pay him off and he should find a job perhaps as a development officer with the RFL, or do something else entirely as he hasn't the ability to coach at this level.'"
what's so hard.
Quick play the balls.
get the ball to first receiver quickly - or run from dummy half
have deep lying runners
Pass to them once a defender has committed to the ball carrier, unless said ball carrier as footwork to beat defender.
Have receiver run towards gap

If the RFL want to help start an amateur club up in the South RP is the ideal man for it. He has the qualifications and experience to do just about everything. Its just a shame there is no vacancy and he has been put in the coach's job at the Broncos instead which for one reason or another is beyond his capabilities.

Theory is easy, coaching isn't and no matter how good a player you might or might not have been it's a very different discipline.
The thing that Powell lacks above everything else is personality. You need to be a leader. |

The bloke is spineless and there is a good chance he will go down in history as the man who dragged a club with 30 years of history into the abyss, upsetting a number of passionate supporters. Some won't just shrug their shoulders and go and watch London Skolars when their team is taken away from them. But hey, as long as Powell is collecting 9 months worth of salary, the clubs existence and its supporters are just a minor consideration.'"

Sitting on the fence asking the question - whats so bad about him losing the job he is not capable of doing? this happens on a daily occurance in real life. People are losing their jobs all the time and most through no fault of their own. As I have said I have no axe to grind with RP he may be the best bloke out, he may be a great family man but he is a useless coach and that is what he is being paid to do. That is the job he is not capable of and that is the job where he is failing in grand fashion.

Exactly.'"
The difference is that he has been put in a very public position where all his credibilty and future earnings potential as a coach have been destroyed by being put in a position he should never have been placed in.
No other club would have been stupid enough to have Powell in anything more than an Assistant's Role. The man has been at the club for sometime and I'm sure that whatever selfdoubt he had was taken over by an understandable wish to help. |

Ultimately you are responsible for your own destiny. He had opportunities to resign with at least some of his credibility intact. |

Calling the man spineless is unacceptable.
We've all critcised his inability to coach but most have tempered this with the fact that he was placed in a role he should never have been offered.
Your post lays the blame at the wrong door.
The art of management is employing the best people for the job and sadly no one in their right mind would have put Powell there. |

Perhaps he should have. But in the worst recession in living memory I can understand why he didn't. |
