All we seem to read on here is Chester this and Chester that or Carter this and Carter that. The point is 18 points up in first quarter and then to lose the only guys that lost that game were the ones on the park. The second half was abysmal and that was down to the players like it or not.

So you're saying then that all these defeats and poor performances are solely down to the players? The coach doesn't take any blame over the last 50 odd games?! Obviously he doesn't tell them to knock-on in the 18th minute, give a penalty away for high shot in the 24th, etc, etc, we all know that, and yes the players do have to perform better, and act as things unfold before them, but by your reckoning, the role of a coach is redundant then?! What does he actually say to them at half-time, because it clearly doesn't work does it given how many times we lose games that we are well in at between 40 and 60 minutes? If he takes no responsibility at all, then have no coach! Get rid, use the money to buy 2 or 3 players in key positions, let the senior players take over training drills, come up with a game plan by watching the opposition, like they do anyway with the coach present I presume? Then if they still perform poorly, lose most weeks, then we'll know it wasn't the coach to blame won't we?? I may have to edit the bit about the coach coming up with a game plan actually.......

I don't think it's fair to expect him to walk away from however many thousands a year. I wouldn't unless my health was suffering and I suggest most people wouldn't in the same position.

Well I gave up two fairly big jobs over a matter of principle and resigned despite wife mortgage kids etc

Think if you have integrity and principles they are more important than the next pay check . I know it’s unfashionable but once upon a time integrity was something that was important.

But you can understand why he wouldn't necessarily see it like that? He's not doing anything wrong or malicious is he he's just doing something to a poor standard, in our opinion.

Yes I do understand that his priority is his livelihood . But the criticism he’s receiving must be having a negative impact on both him and his family.

Ultimately the team manager has to take responsibility for the teams performances - on Sunday we pretty much had the team he selected / wanted on the field made of players he’s either signed or re signed during his tenure.

Whilst it’s possible to criticise individual players ultimately the coach recruits trains selects and devises the game plan.

So ultimately it’s the coach who’s responsible and don’t see how anyone could blame anyone other than Chris . Unless you want to criticise the board for not biting the bullet.

Any way he’s resigned

I agree with all that.

Sacked rather than resigned but the end outcome is the same.
