I think it is a dangerous position for the players to want a coach or even manipulate the decision of which coach to have. There should be a business type barrier between coach and players to keep a proffesional air at a club. I'm not saying they should dislike each other but they shouldn't be best pals either. There were rumours before about Pauls influence in the changing room with other coaches when our form dipped. If Paul gets the job it should be because he is the best available for the money that we can afford and no other reason.

Crap thread, if a coach is appointed because the players like him then it is time to pack in.

I heard that just before Blakemore and Adamson returned home Paul Rowley asked them to leave the training area commenting "I'm sorry guys I am trying to prepare the lads for the pre-season games, can you give me some space"

I was told Paul didn't want it, and he's doing a great job as assistant, he got them all very fit, last season and it was very much a big bearing on how we started the season last year.

Hope they don't froget it and appreciate that Rowley was wanting to get the best out of the players not having them distracted, they should respect that

You heard wrong Blackmore took a couple of training sessions

If that it the truth which I don't believe for one minute then I would have the assistant removed as a stipulation of me taking over. If I was head coach then it would be me who gets the chop for the results and no assistant would be telling me that.

I feel sorry for paul because he is trying to get the lads fit and up and running for the friendly matches then you have two coaches trying to impress so thay can get the job.They both took trainig sessions but they were both doing things different ways so how can the players be expected to know what they are doing if they are being shown different things why not all be doing things from one hymm sheet so everyone knows what they are doing.

As with everything Leigh NEVER do anything straightforward , everything has to be Complicated,thats just Leigh.

The Coach situation needs to be sorted out as soon as possible ,im now thinking ,appoint Paul Rowley ,give him the Job.
