Why did Morgan take the job with the Cod Heads??? Surely every coach wants a challenge and to revive a fallen giant must be a lucrative opportunity.....It was for Brian Noble, thats why he went to the Pies. Look at Tony Smith aswell....Im sure he's gone to Warrington for the challenge of taking them up the table and meeting expectations. With Bulls its a Win Win. Morgan takes em up the table its his coaching skills. if the stay stagnently treading water at the bottom of the table Morgan gives it "I feel sorry for Steve Mc because I can now see how uninterested and poor this group of players are!"
Disagree. Bradford, like Wigan, have a high weight of expectation around them, expectation which their budget (probably) and current playing staff (almost certainly) are not going to be able to deliver. If he achieves nothing, he will get sacked and no longer be regarded as the promising young coach he is seen as at the moment.
I think part of Smith's reasoning might have been that he wanted to get back into club coaching (his words) and Wire had a vacancy. Plus, longer term, I don't think Wire, with their rich backer and nice, manageable new ground, are in anything like the mess Bradford seem to be in.
