Ditto.



There are plenty of good players at that level who could do a good job for us.



I've been desperate for us to sign Chris Hill from Leigh for ages but that won't be happening now.

Leigh have been excellent this year though and have a team full of young, local lads that they may not be able to keep on next year due to financial constraints. Would certainly be worth a look. They're already losing Hill to Wire and Ellis to Hull, hope we've got scouts out at that level too.





Can't agree with you about Steve Simms though Brian.

The contracts may state that they can come back in January but as any employee is aware your employer can put pressure on you to act outside the contract. Look how many do unpaid overtime etc.



I hope Parish lets the players know what is expected and they react and arrive before Xmas.



Harrison tried to establish this type of work ethic and the acdemy set up we have is a result, but we need to move on and become a modern club in a modern stadium.

For what it's worth, I agree completely.

Not disagreeing with your point at all but, as we always hear about how well KH addressed our Academy set-up, why are the U20's doing so badly??

Probably because the club is in a mess, the under 18s are on different type of contracts to under 20s aren't they? and to be honest would you see your future going anywhere under McRae?



Harrison got Hunte involved and put in place many of the things other clubs see as routine, 4 years on they have neglected for whatever reason and the players seeking full time contracts have moved on.

I am more convinced that Matt Parish will be on his than ever,unless John Wilkinson gets Simms right out of the way.

We have got the right man but buffoons above him, who is it to be Parish or Simms.

Buffoons above him?

Really?

Look we all want Matt to succeed but we are making him sound like the Messiah.

He has a tough job,let's back him to the hilt, but all he has done so far is to speak his mind. That's good but not the main objective of his employment.

Didn't players such as Ratchford,Turner,Adamson etc come through the ranks while Harrison was in charge? How many came through the ranks under Mcrae to be regulars?







Can you, or any other posters on here, start a list of things Simms has done to improve the club?



Also, does anyone know what contract Simms is on? Not in terms of wages etc but in terms of length? Never hear anything about his contract being renewed etc? Yet he has been hear for a while now.

Impossible. He sits in a dark castle plotting our demise.

Will he be here at the end of next week?

Avoiding any hint of a serious answer again. Not like you.

Well there's our fundamental difference; you read the anonymous opinions of strangers and manage to take it seriously.
