| It's difficult to see BS here for another two years - it would be a coup, but I can't see it happening.
Cummins doesn't inspire me - but the options are limited unless you start thinking outside the box a bit, and that's a risk; can we afford another year of limping through the main season, then hoping for miracles in the M8's?

| It can't be lost on MC that we had an average coach in Webster and were appalling, and for the time being have a quality coach in Bs who has worked minor miracles in a short space of time.

| If Brian Smith doesn't stay maybe ask him to be apart of the process of picking his predecessor.

| We certainly need someone like Smith, who can do some management ability and not just a first team coach (like Webster),which limits our options significantly
If we o for a young up and coming coach, there is a massive risk that they will end up like our last 2 coaches and many of their predecessors, with the exception of John Kear.
We have, for the last number of years, operated on a smaller budget than our competition, which makes the task more difficult.
Let's just hope we don't go for Salfords ex coach, that would be like Agar all over again.

| coaches come and go and that's been the downfall of trinity for years. I would prefer that smith stays on for at least a 2 years period and that his knowledge can be passed on. That brings us to Dickens would he be the best option after a period under Smiths wing.
Cummings did a reasonable job at Bradford under very difficult circumstances but im not convinced of his ability in general.
IF the club want to make giant strides over the next couple of seasons it must be Smith, I just at this moment in time don't see a replacement with the same kind of experience, or R L gumption.

| Smith is just what Wakey need. Don't forget that he hasn't worked as a head coach for some years and many down under think he is past it. I don't see why he shouldn't want another year in UK. If he can do well with Wakey next year he gives a few SL chairmen a nudge if they start looking in 12 months time. I can see the likes of Hull and Saints maybe thinking of a change after another year if things don't improve so Smith staying for another year could do him good.

| He is nearly 70. He may be looking to retire with this achievement being in a long list of successes.

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"
If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.

| He'll probably feel like it when this season is over. I dare say he's gotten a few more grey hairs over the last couple of months.

I know that a year is a long time in politics but, Smith was said to be 61 when he took over a few months ago.
9 years in 5 months is some ageing process !
I thought it was just the fans that aged a number of years for each 80minute game ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

| Too true wakeytrin, that is why I said the "traditional 65 pension age". Would he qualify for a bus pass though?
