The move is with immediate effect, to replace Derek Beaumont in that role. The owner has a busy spell at work and feels Cunningham's extra experience will help the current coaching team. Cunningham stresses that he is NOT replacing any of that coaching team

I don't think this is the correct appointment I honestly think this is a step backwards saying that we will be going backwards at this rate back to championship

Re: Kieron Cunningham : Sun Aug 13, 2017 12:50 pm  

Can't keep employing folk ,maybe not a bad appointment, but does this mean we will hear nowt from Derek from now on?

Re: Kieron Cunningham : Sun Aug 13, 2017 12:53 pm  

Hopefully that's the end of him on social media lets himself down with stuff he comes out with. I know it's hard with the passion but sometimes it's best to say nothing

Maybe DB feels a refocus on his core business is required, to fund the next chapter -- which may not be what was expected. I wouldn't be surprised if Cunningham is in charge next year with Kieron Purtill (Saints link) as his assistant. Jukes + Cooke combo has been uninspiring, even if Leigh stay up.
