Our next appointment will speak volumes about where the clubs ambitions lie.

Why? Its not like we have promotion and relegation from this point.

Think it's more complex than who we appoint shows the ambition of the board. I think they've shown plenty of ambition with the squad we're putting together.

I'll be honest I thought EOC was an exceptionally underwhelming appointment. But I liked what he did with the club and felt we were building.

For me an appointment that would get the fans excited would be an Ian Watson or Danny Ward.

A solid appointment would be a Rhys Lovegrove, Danny Mcguire (think that could work well with a Noble partnership)

Would be disappointed with a Simon Grix, Andrew Henderson etc

Might end up none of those names as was the case of EOC

Yep, we just need a coach who can keep us competitive, get the best part-time players that are available and keep the fans, sponsors and board happy.

Promotion now is in the hands of the Directors of the club or when IMG go to 14 teams.

I think Henderson would be a decent appointment to be fair. Plenty of experience of the Championship and coaching generally - always seems to talk plenty of sense and I expect would do well with a strong Bulls squad.

He didn’t do anything with a York squad that ended up one place behind the Bulls with a new coach

Every coach has a period on their CV that is less than perfect, he has done well previously at London and last year with York. Assistant coach at Warrington for a number of years so plenty of experience at all levels in this country. We could do a lot worse in my view.

According to Matt Shaw, Henderson is the target https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/bradford-bulls-head-coach-ocarroll-30187187
