At the moment I am of the opinion that the Guardian article is just speculation, seems a bit of a coincidence that on grandstand they basically talked about the coaching merry go round and listed all the jobs available and the candidates for them - nobby and morgan even joked about forming a job club. I reckon they have basically lifted the peice from earlier on in the afternoon and added a bit of chinese whispers to it.

Can't see us going for him, no logic whatsoever. Particularly when you consider how many potential coaches are apparently available, most of them with better credentials than him.

We have to sell ourselves, and we have to offer good money, I would rather spend less on players and more on the right coach, as we will benefit in the longer term.

I agree, there are better candidates, if AG is going very long term and relatively inexpensive, I'd say Daryl Powell is still in with a shout.
Doing a great job at fev, building a little empire, used to top players from his playing days, takes no shizzle from anyone.
I always think that they could be bigger than us and cas if fev was bigger than it is, add onto that their impending development of PO, and their consistence in the championship under Powell, a club definitely on the up.

Agar is quoted in LE as saying "there is absolutely no question of me leaving, or my role changing at the KC Stadium. I don't know where that particular story came from, but it isn't true".

Assuming he ain't lying,

Now put this story to bed, and lets move on to the coaches we are looking at.

Speaking of which, one name that hasn't been mentioned yet... Daniel Anderson?

Totally agree. The Coach is probably the most important signing for next season and beyond but my point is that its not always about money although Wigan, Leeds etc. could out bid us anyway. Its about ambition and if you are someone like Peter Gentle who are you going to choose if its between us and Wigan.

We need to get the best coach we can and I agree we have to sell ourselves but we also don't have to be down hearted if another Club is chosen over us.

Fair point, but it's not between us and Wigan is it? It's between us and some very similar clubs - Cas and HKR are hardly beating us in the glamour stakes.

We need to talk a good game - be honest about the past, but make sure people understand it is just that; emphasise the new owners, NM on the horizon, excellent commercial performance etc and really sell the opportunity to someone ambitious - they could be responsible for making our on-field rebirth as impressive and exciting as our off-field one. Confidence is infectious in my experience - get to the table, appear serious and put yourself in the game; if you take yourself seriously, others will too.
