an improvement of one point! SUPER!
It is still an improvement!!! what more do you want???

I think fans of this club expect more because of our history. ppl need to be more relaistic. out side of the big 2 (leeds and scum) We are up there with the chasing pack. Last year we finished 6th this year we look like a team that will finish 4th. A game in hand with 7 out of last ten at home this is the kind of run in that should see us finishing 3rd or 4th. Catalan may have peaked too soon. Saints are peaking now and Leeds looked off the boil the other day.

We need to find some form and start climbing that league ladder. I think catalans will drop their form soon. They are still catchable. I think finishing 3rd would be a good effort. Anything lower then 4th and the play offs become impossible. 7th is just .......
The on field team finished 4th last year, it was only because of salary cap deductions that we ended up fighting for 6th place, so the team isn't showing any improvement, just the managemt structure at board level

:eusa14: :eusa14: I'm trying A/L I'm trying

It's hard though, Wiggy tested my resolve the most

I know I'm the grumpy old git but Wiggy is an evangelist

I can imagine him returning to his car and finding it on bricks with all 4 wheels stolen and saying well at least they did not take the spare

However, I refuse to let Nine and co get me down :wink:

J/K Nine :look:

Now don't laugh but somebody bought me some car cleaning/polishing gear for my recent birthday.

Not quite sure what it 'means'

I am sorely tempted to display a noble out banner on Friday, what do you reckon Nine?

Trust me we have not

You want the best choices bar Edwards.

Money is not an issue. So, IL takes his chequebook

Tim Sheens - Noted for created whole club systems that develop young players. His teams play attractive RL. Many of his former players becomes successful coaches.

Craig Bellamy - Rated the best in the World

There are plenty coaches out there better than our Bri

Would it be so easy to get them though? The Aussies throw a wobbler every time we take one of there top players goodness knows what they would do if we nicked there chief tacticians.

I know everyone has there price but is that going too much? We don't want to be taken for a ride by someone who knows we are desperate.

If they are good enough, they earn the price we pay.

We got John Monie after he had led Parra to a GF win. He turned ML down several times. However, ML kept asking, kept posing the question and got him to say yes.

I would favour Sheens personally.
