I thought he was one of the few of the Noble era the club wanted to keep on as a junior coach. With Wane moving to assistant and Rads job not just being a coach I thought Pendlebury was a good shout for Wane's old job.

That was also my take on the matter.

I thought that everyone who was surplus to requirements had been advised of the fact some time ago, Veivers being the only casualty to my knowledge.

Seems a bit strange for John to be leaving this late in the day, unless he has received a better offer!

Brad gets his information from great sources so if he says it, take it as read IMO.

This is pure conjecture by me but if Harris becomes a coach of the new SWales Club it would not shock me to see Vievers or Pendlebury replace him in the new NWales club.

John resigned last Friday. Apparently he wants a break from the game!

CPW, have I missed something? I thought that the SWales club and the NWales club were one and the same and the issue of playing matches in Wrexham was causing concern at quite a few levels?

2 Separate clubs KW. With Celtic moving to Wrexham a bid has come to create a SWales club in C1, Neath I think and just play Welsh players.

I BELIEVE THE CRUSADERS AS THEY ARE KNOWN NOW(DROPPED THE CELTIC)WILL BE BASED IN WREXHAM PLAYING A FEW MATCHES ON THE ROAD .A CHESTER BUSINESS MAN IS IN TALKS THIS WEEK WITH A TAKE OVER OF THE SUPER LEAGUE CLUB . THEY BELIEVE THEY STAND A BETTER CHANCE WITH SUPPORT FROM THE NORTH WALES AREA. sO THIS RUMOUR MIGHT BE TRUE AS MR HARRIS IS STAYING TO COACH AT NEATH .

If Pendlebury has left, good riddance! His scouting barely extended beyond IRB because he couldn't be bothered to go any further. And he took no notice of the qualified coaches employed by the club because he thought he knew better.

He has a history of being in and out of the game - not somebody you would want as a reliable employee in any business.

Why do I detect a feeling of sour grapes here?
