Nice guy is Steve but he has failed for us on one 2 many occasions, the crowds are also dropping away, we need a big name in.

Cue Hanley. Whilst I can see the sentimental link to Neil Kelly, he is under contract at Leigh and I think with Steve McCormack it is a case of when going back second time around, once bitten, twice shy.

You won't get a bigger name than Hanley though. I read an ad on the tube before christmas, it read "Big Projects need Big Names" and this certainly is the case with me!

Black Pearl. Get him!

Id agree Re. Ned, well in fact about Hanley too.

Never a worse thing than trying to recreate something a second time over. There is still some aura around him which is surprising given that he lost it equally as much as every other coach we've had by the time his end had come.

Other than Ellery, Dave Woods is out of a job although I dont know any of the circs with that one. What others are knocking around without work?

Also a chance for Stanky to come into the limelight and try to impress enough for the full time role.

Jon Sharp (oi, that was my idea)

please!

That's probably what the club will do. However, whether he stays in position will depend on who else applies for the job and how his results go. Good luck to Stanky though.

As far as Jon Sharp goes, if he is happy at Hull as a football operations manager, then he lacks the desire to coach again. If that is the case then I wouldn't want him anyway. If he still has drive and ambition he is definitely the man for us. His teams are well organised in the same way John Kear and Brian McDermott's teams are. That's what is required in this league more than anything. John Dixon proved how effective a well drilled side can be in this league. The ability to make the best of what you have is essential imo. That's why I wouldn't go for someone like Hanley or Millward. Both are good in charge of flair players, but I wouldn't regard either as great tacticians.

Im sure Terry O'connor will have a big input reagrds the coach.

I HAVE a raging hard on GET IN THERE!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Time we can start playing rugby again and time our half backs are allowed to crawl from the wood work!

Made up cullen hanley sharp main 3 but anyone would be better.. people are sayin what a good guy and he stayed with us la la la fukin la, nice guys finish last he should have gone last year but we couldn afford to cos who would have took us. WIDNES WIDNES WIDNES WIDNES WIDNES

Hanley took a team of virtually unknowns and got them to the final of the NRC and took them to Warrington and then promotion to the Championship div 1 , so think he would do a good job for you.

With a team put together by Stanky. Perhaps we'd be better ptting him in at coach?

As far as the NRC was concerned, they had a luck run and were annihilated in the most one sided final I've ever seen.

This is the same man who ripped our club to pieces in the eighties and was the main instigator in getting Martin Offiah to leave Widnes. He can be very arrogant and aloof towards players and will probably lose the dressing room at some point.

I do not want him here!

Cullen?
