| Quote: Beverley Robin "I don't see any improvement since sandy left and, IMO, there is less of a structure to our play, the attitude of the players is terrible (widnes), lack of apparent game plan and discipline issues. I'm not saying that sandy was the answer and deserved a new deal, but hailing Chester as the next big thing and giving him a 3 year deal seems a bit much. If the last 7 or so games were his audition for the job then I don't see how he's passed it. There has been no up turn in fortunes. Look at Powell at Cas or lowes at Bradford and see the impact they have had. In any business, companies have a rigorous interview process when recruiting for such an important position. Did we even hold any interviews with other potential candidates? I just hope that Chester wasn't appointed on sentiment alone coupled with the trend to appoint British coaches at the moment.'"
Attitude is easy to criticise by quoting one match. How about Saints and Wigan, not that i am saying those two games prove everything in the garden is rosy. I think discipline on the field has improve somewhat. Structure is a broad term and without you specifying what you mean it is difficult to comment. I see the decision to give him a three year contract has been downgraded from "bonkers" to "seems a bit much". As I said I would agree with the latter. I am sure the board took other things into consideration than purely results on the field when assessing his performance. Chester, from a distance, as we don't know the ins and outs of happenings within the club, seems to have dealt with off the field problems in a decisive way. Signings for next year show promise but I admit we won't know until the team takes to the field. In public companies I agree there is a rigorous interview process. Companies where the majority of shares are owned by one or a small number of people do not necessarily operate in the same way. Apparently by what the CEO said a number of people did show interest. The Board have decided to appoint Chester, it is their money and the person who pays the piper calls the tune. I am a minority shareholder but unfortunately not of sufficient wealth to be consulted on these matters. Their decision may prove to be a good one or it may not but I do not believe that it was made on sentiment or on the fad of appointing a British Coach. As the statement on the website states. "He is somebody who understands the club and the squad of players he will be working with but more importantly he is a young British coach who is ready for this position and responsibility" I think the board considering him ready for this position and responsibility is the the key issue in the appointment.

| Quote: Beverley red "How would I know if any one aplied for the job? what I do know is that I can't see any good coaches without a job down under or here. As for due process our chairman owns the club & bankrolls it he can apoint his grany if he wants. He obviously thinks he deserves a chance & my point is that he has come through the ranks at one of the best run clubs in the world (Wigan) wether he is up to it is to be seen but I will go with the clubs call untill proved diferent.'"
Well said, when people on hear are saying he has not done very well in the short time he has had since he took over, give him a chance Rome was not built in a day wait till next season when he has had pre season training then lets see what he can do

| Hopefully things will start off better next year when Chester has the back line players in place who can defend and not make mistakes. I think 3 years is far too long for an inexperienced coach . Fortunately NH is too shrewd a business man to employ his granny , the club belongs to the fans at the end of the day and will be still in existence for years to come.

| Do we know who his No2 will be? I would offer it to Stanley, who has done a decent job at Gateshead coping extremely well with the complexities of being a feeder club and dual registrations coupled with his other duties at Rovers. He has worked wonders with Beharrel and a few others, and I have to say this, Stan seems destined to be part of Rovers future.
Perhaps there is a strong case to promote Pete Grayburn, who is doing a sterling job with the u19s in what is a very strong competition. The club might not want to lose him in that area though, it is imperative Rovers u19s start to compete regularly in the play-offs and Pete has just about secured that aim, so continuity might be a stumbling block.
I wouldn't want Shaun Briscoe of Dave Hodgson to be leapfrogged into the role although they do have the qualities and experience to take on the role. I would prefer a seamless move, a pathway from boot room to head coach (Alah Liverpool with Shanks, Paisley et al), and Stan fits that profile.

I've read rumours that Willie Poaching may be heading our way as No.2

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
