I'd like a proper explanation for why getting rid of Furner now is the answer. Why not give him to the end of the season? We've been winning more of late, albeit not going on a proper run. I'm struggling to see how a new coach can really make a difference when they've not responded to Brian Mac, KS & Lowes, and now Furner.

Probably not, may not even get that far, I would love it to be proved true though and see GH's reaction.....maybe he should get his tracksuit out, he has obviously seen something in the squad he has assembled / retained

Hetherington, of course, has a much stronger pedigree as a head coach than Furner. Albeit a few years ago now but let's not pretend he is some clueless interfering board member who doesn't know what he's talking about.

Maybe he dared to question the recruitment?.....personally I hope he wins his case which will prove Hetherington as the liar.

Not sure how he will do that as he has under 2 years service. So unless it's discrimination he hasn't a leg to stand on

As much as I don’t want it to be Wane, i’m fairly certain he’d toughen our defence up.

Wane for me

I'd rather watch Leeds aim for the stars rather than the supporting leg.

I was a fan of range at Wigan. His teams defended with pride and aggression.

The steak was well structured and designed to get the ball to their weapons to maximise their impact. Watkins may not be at his best, but we criminally under used his strike power under McDermott. Same guys with hall.

If back him to bring the youngsters on.

Seems to fit on so many levels

Wane would improve the defence and not put up with some of the feeble efforts we have seen this season, but I would not want him at Leeds.
He is Wigan through and through, and couldn't give the same to another club. He said as much when he came here as a player. Also the style of Rugby under Wane was terrible to watch, those complaining about the entertainment under McDermott's reign would not be happy with Wane.

God if Wane were to come in would the last person out of the new stands turn the lights out
