Quote: Smithers99 "Totally agree with the first and third points.
I can't really comment on the coach as I have nothing to compare with, nor do I know the true quality/level of the players and thus whether he is doing well or badly with what he has. Having said that he was primarily responsible for recruiting them and the end result is a single draw to date. Of course the (vast) consensus is agreeing with you and I have no reason (apart from my limited knowledge, which isn't a reason anyway) to disagree.'"
March 2015 Coleman was appointed head coach at London Skolars. In his time there I believe the Skolars played 130 league and super 8 games, winning 41 of them (31%).
In my 20 years following the London Broncos, we had Tony Rea (win ratio 37%) who assembled a play-off grade side at Griffin Park that saw us start off well when we moved to Harlequins but thereafter, when Hughes took sole control of the club, we have struggled to find "good" managers or uncover nuggets like Dorn, Moran and McLinden.....
Hughes appointed Brian McDermott, who for all his silverware at Leeds (I could have coached them to SL titles that team were that good) only had a 36% win ratio with us, Hughes then appointed Rob Powell (24%), he appointed Grima (8%) on the say so of a player???? before he "Lucked out" with Henderson (67%) followed by Ward (54%), who he told to leave after he said he would leave immediately at the end of the year and briefly Tom Tsang (50%)
Hughes referred to Coleman as a "HIGHLY SPOKEN OF" young coach. I am at a loss as to where he gets this from, as a plucky loser he may be, but he's a loser all the same and losing is a habit that he's brought with him along with a huge number of players who weren't good enough in L1 last year and who aren't good enough in the level above this!
His London Broncos W/L is currently 0%.
We have lost to 3 of the current top 6 sides but have yet to play either of the top 2, which isn't to say we are all bad, but we have scored fewer points than anyone else in the comp and are in a relegation dog-fight.
Hughes has a record of refusing to sack people as he doesn't like to admit he's made mistakes, but given Henderson and Ward "inherited" their roles, I am struggling to find any appointment made by Hughes during his 14 years as sole owner
[iIN ANY ROLE[/i that hasn't turned out to be an error.
I predicted out first win would be
rlSheffield away.rl and I reckoned Coleman would be gone by May. I've no idea of the other predictions being correct as the club have stopped announcing the gate
