Just been told this may not happen due to Powell being sacked. A big week coming up for the club.


I'd have thought that we'd have a caretaker coach in charge for the rest of the season (Richard Marshall, perhaps), in which case I'd have thought that the Mikaele return would still be on. However, if the powers that be could get a permanent replacement for Powell, sooner rather than later, then I'd expect they'd have the final say on any signings. Can you shed any light on this, please?

What makes a greeting card man suitably qualified to select our new coach, or is that a perk of being major shareholder?

Why isn’t Karl Fitz being sent to Oz to secure a coach? Is he no longer trusted?

It’s obvious that Warrington are courting Holbrook but will they get their man?

Well the fact he is a businessman and a successful one by all accounts. Pretty sure he would know how to conduct an interview and select the right type of person to employ. Fitzpatrick a mediocre rugby player no success as a businessman that I know of and the fact he has been the one in the past making the trips to Aus, well we know how that’s worked out so yeh I guess not to be trusted anymore.

When you own the majority shares in a company you can make whatever decisions you like. I'd prefer a knowledgeable RL professional making the choice I must admit.... but if the only job is to lure Holbrook with a stellar deal and assurances then the owner is best placed and will have all the skills. He is no mug.

If we're looking for coaches in both hemispheres, might Mr Fitzpatrick be soliciting closer to home?

Sorry I may have missed something, but when did Middleton become our majority shareholder?

So board meeting this morning, no news, can only assume the chancer clings on.

Wouldn’t think we would get 2 lumps of good news in one go, I think if they replace him it will be after the season ends.

Someone posted on one of the threads last night that Williams and Ashton looking to get out of their contracts.

Well rumour started that Wigan have agreed a £450,000 transfer fee for Williams.
