Don't worry, Me and Macca are well hidden.

Hmm...tied up...in a cellar...with an electric cattle prod...



There are adult sites for that sort of thing, I understand...

You won't be taking the pi$$ when we get League Leaders trophy, get put back in the challenge cup (and win it), win the Grand Final and the WCC and pigs fly though will you?

...and there are pseudo-pharmaceutical sites for THAT sort of thing...

Maybe I'll do it the normal way and start a petition?

So Macca's had "the vote of confidence". It can't be long before he's eventually out then!



Unfortunately I find it hard to see any prospect of improvement while he remains in charge. The deterioration over the past 3 years speaks for itself and carries more weight than any game where we've played well for 40mins. How much this decline is purely down to Macca is anyone's guess but I suspect that cost cutting has a lot to do with it.



Of course the club are skint and will have no wish to change coaches given the expense but if the decline continues, and I see no reason to suggest it won't then their hands may be forced.

Well lets just hope the sort it quick! Because come Friday we are against a good team (hate having to say that!) and if the performance is not there - and i do not mean win - by that then the fans will be calling at the match for both the coach and chairman.

Personally I will back the team if they give 100% effort for 80mins

As it has been mentioned elsewhere, he should walk, not be sacked so we do not have to pay him off. He has been an atrocious appointment and has to face facts that he cannot sort this.



Of course, it should also be mentioned that more and more want him out now too. Time to see sense and face facts Mr M, you are failing and not many seem to want you around anymore.

I wonder if, rather than facing mass stoning at Odsal on Friday, you will now be rightfully recognised as a true visionary?

what i cant understand is that if i under performed at work i would be sacked without notice and compensation why is it so different in sport.if he cant be sacked at least take his face of the forum banner so we dont have to see him staring at us

I doubt that, but i might have to steal your signature for myself now.

I rememeber some years back us having a collection around the ground to pay for the transfer of Deryck Fox.



Perhaps we could do the same to pay for McBananas severance pay, that is if the club really are strapped for cash!!!



That said I cannot understand why we cannot afford this given that Bird never arrived and Tame has now gone.



We'll be lucky to get 16000 on Friday but if everyone gave £1 we could have a chance of getting rid of the numpty!!!

You'd be looking at a six-figure settlement. Easy.



And a load more to pay the considerably higher cost of the replacement coaching team you'd have to try and entice at short order.



One assumes Tupou going was necessary anyway to accommodate Bird?



And the impact of the recession - far worse than it will have looked when the budgets were done - and of the onfield performance on projected income for the rest of the season may well mean the club is in no position now anyway to pay out anything that might be spare under the cap.

Why. As for Bird at the time I got told it was a publicity stunt and it seems it may be right in how easily he went to Catalans.

Can you explain why, and how you can be sure of the minimum amount? I think that might be helpful for the broader debate.

Contracted to end of 2010. No idea of his actual package, but it must surely be nearer six-figures than not per annum, if not already there? He'd be due compensation for the unexpired period of his contract. Salary and benefits for about 20-21 months must be easily into six figures?



If the contract provided for payment in lieu of notice (as opposed to just a period of notice) then there would probably be an employers' NIC liability on top.



Its a bit more complex than that obviously, and that's only from things I am qualified to comment on - and there is the duty to mitigate any loss - but that's where I am coming from.

It's 2009 isn't it. IIRC it was a three and a half year deal.

Well that's total madness giving a rookie head coach a four and half year contract I'm affraid we deserve all we get then. A Tri- nations winning coach only got an initial 2 year deal.

My guess is he got a revised contract somewhere along the way?

Well if that's the case then we really have reached the level of no ambition because IMO he's never justified a new one.

Thought he only had til end of 2009!



Jeez to get rid now would be £120K+ for Mac alone. If Basil , Lee the conditioner have contracts beyond 09 then you have more payouts to follow.



Paradoxically the cup exit could make mac's job safer!

If we sacked McNamara then sent a bucket round donating to the Board's wise move then we might get enough to pay him off. I'd put 100 quid in.

The dreaded "vote of confidence". He'll be gone by next week....
