Be honest, how many of you wanted Karl as coach even while Matt was in charge?
Come on, be honest.

Yer me and I am sad it has not worked out and even sadder that I like many are getting on the big fellas case BUT the club is bigger than one man and right now the club have to make the right decision for its own good and make the change to get fans back on-board, otherwise pay the consequences and looking at the 4 full time teams next year we will not make that spin dryer league and will be drift wood.

If he signs a new contract I'm afraid it's a big slap in the face to most of the fans. He's just not what Fax need now. Time to part ways and move on.

Re: Sack or back : Mon Sep 01, 2014 9:22 pm  

TBH I was one of the few that said I didn't think he was right for the club when appointed but was prepared to give him time and that if our method was going to be to grind out wins I can live with that if it works, I'm sure I can dig out my posts if anyone wants proof. I just never thought he was right for the club, we need a recent ex super league player with fresh ideas, recent knowledge and kills of the game and experience. This ex player coming back stuff never works.

Here is my idea I have floated around some folk.

We need to address the training issue I think - surely we have something in this town?

My idea was to move KH to Director of Football, he has the clout in rugby league and knowledge just like Martin Hall did. He does a lot behind the scenes and for me, a great help for Fax TV. Bring someone in as head coach, may be a younger coach? To work with KH but has their own ideas? Sean Long - the only issue I have with Sean, he doesn't seem to stay anywhere long enough. Another person - Danny Orr?

Re: Sack or back : Tue Sep 02, 2014 6:58 am  

Good ideas Triran. Question is, could the club afford any or all three of those options? And, as I said before, would you "rent" any if your facilities to the club, knowing the problems there has been with rent over the last couple of years?

I agree with you in principle, my concern would be could our club go down this road financially, I really would like our bod to put out a statement to the fans explaining our current situation and plans for the next 3 seasons. I think communication between club and fans is appalling, this does not include Fax tv which as been a breath of fresh air.

There is more to the "rent" saga than we will ever know. Now the "sale" saga has passed, I think the "rent" saga has passed - as they were probably connected.

In regards could we afford this setup. Probably not, hence a young cheap coach?

Out of interest - where would be the best place for training in Halifax be? - may need to start a new thread!

Re: Sack or back : Tue Sep 02, 2014 7:28 am  

It would probably never happen, but I personally would love to see both clubs put their heads together (for once) and find a good training solution that works for both clubs. A proper base for not just on pitch training sessions, but a gym, indoor work areas (for when the training pitch(es) are too muddy, etc.

Its not something that would happen over night, but its something they could aspire for.
