Some info on Hanley for you after Tony Benson was appointed at Oldham from the local paper

Oldham’s money man (chairman Bill Quinn) admitted that talks had been held with Ellery Hanley.

However, the former Great Britain legend, who left his Doncaster post following the club’s National League Two play-off final victory over the Roughyeds last month, couldn’t offer the level of focus on the job that both owner Quinn and chief executive Chris Hamilton desired.

“Yes, we did speak to him (Hanley) but unfortunately, due to other commitments, he could not give our club the time needed to fulfil the role of head coach,” said Quinn, in a statement posted on the club’s official website.

“It had nothing to do with money, but we felt as a board that we needed someone who was totally focused to enable us to achieve our goals and targets."


Basically what you get with Hanley is somebody who wants FT wages for PT hours (see above quotes as well). Most of the coaching is done by his assistant and the drills he does do are generally considered to be out of date. However he does have an aura and a reputation that a) helps sign people and b) makes players listen. He did a good job at Donny, but he didn't do it on a shoestring as some people think, shortly before the season started people on the board at Donny thought they could go through the season undefeated - they invested a lot of money and ended the season losing £4k a week.

Goulding's lost the plot at Rochdale and they improved massively when he left under Darren Shaw.

Personally I think if you want good rugby go for Cullen - it's the way he wants to play and he's operated in an NL environment before. You don't need the best coach, just somebody who's going to give the players the freedom to perform - the FT training and your squad should do the rest. Last year at Oldham we had the best squad in NL2 and a technically superb coach in Steve Deakin, unfortunately sometimes people like this are so keen to pinpoint the exact way to break down the opposition they forget about the need to play good rugby as well. In the end it cost us promotion because after beating Donny up all game down the middle in the GF we never varied our play and moved it wide. Players become like robots and lose the ability to think for themselves. If you went down the Sharp or Harrison route I suspect you may end up with something similar to this (and indeed similar to what you've just got rid of).

I reckon there could be strong support for Webby. He was in frame to help out Agar at Hull last season.
A coach in the making!!!
Get his brother over also.....another outstanding young coach currently at Hull KR.

Quote: Early Bath "Hanley will skate it - Seriously if you want to play to your strengths and see open Rugby then call for Matt Calland.'"


True, but he is ours and I cannot see him leaving the good job he already has at Halifax.
