Would i sack Calland after yesterdys loss? Probably not. Would i have sacked him at the back end of last season? Without a doubt. I feel with a strong BOD he would no longer in charge. If Des Johnson or Ste O`Connor were Chairman would he currently be our coach? I highly doubt it.

Has he done a good job? Well the jury is out on this. We have the highest wage bill in the league(Maybe Barra will overtake us this season) for that reason alone you would be hoping for some silverware in the cupboard. The quality of players he has brought to the club is on the whole superb. Got to say though is it really that hard to coach them players to a good league position, probably not. Have we seen any improvement on issues that have been obvious for a while now? Well the defence dosnt seem to have improved one little bit. If anything its looking worse this season. I mean shipping in 42 points at home to a Champ 1 team is simply a disgrace. The clubs most embarassing defeat since the loss to York in the Trains cup at home a few seasons back. The BOD have to shoulder some of the blame though for choosing for whatever reason not to run any U21 and the like teams which probably contributed to the result yesterday and one of the reasons we wont be eligable to apply for a SL franchise. If we had an U21`s team then at least the players that came in would be match fit and may of even meant that MC didnt feel the need to include them in yesterdays team just to keep players happy.

I get the feeling that the players have gone stale and MC has taken the club as far as he can.

The pain for you guys will be at the tills, this was a big cash loss especially if you got to Blackpool.



10 Home games is not enough to generate the income to run a club, so the NRC becomes vital as do pre season games.



14 team comp for me next year, 26 games then an end of season comp for all, and stop the stupid fixture lists catering for CC later stages, NRC later stages and the SL weekender/CC final etc.



Start the season later and play home and away Till September.

far too sensible.

14 team comp... so what happens to the other 7 sides?

play each other 4 times.

You are Gary Hetherington and I claim my £5

You are Kath Hetherington, and I really don't want to know!

plus maybe another french team, paris????

Definitely. I can't see any reason to believe a team from Paris could fail.

did before.

there was a definite element of sarcasm in my post!

mine too, even with sky behind the new team.
