Gateshead are in a right mess at the moment, no doubt they'll be bailed out though.

with all the uncertainty, steve mac has quit now.

ironically..his quitting because of the uncertainty greatly increases the uncertainty!


Question is...where is he going..must have somewhere lined up? Even uncertain pay is better than no pay! Rumours are that he is going to Whitehaven..

taken from www.thunderrugby.com Steve McCormack Resigns Tuesday 20th October 2009 Steve McCormack has today resigned as coach of Gateshead Thunder. Steve has decided to leave the club due to the current uncertainty surrounding the club. Steve McCormack stated: "I have loved every minute of my stay at Gateshead and would like to thank Steve and Sarah Garside for the way I have been treated during my time at the club. To be involved in the clubs "great escape" at the end of last season was tremendous and everybody connected with the club especially the players and supporters deserve immense credit. However, I have been through a similar situation a few years ago with Widnes and I feel that I have to do what is best for my family. Gateshead is a great club with fantastic supporters and I hope Fridays meeting at the RFL is a positive one " Rod Findlay, Thunder Chief Executive, commented: "It was with great sadness that I received Steve's resignation and I know that Steve and Sarah Garside are sorry to see a coach of Steve's calibre leave Thunder. Steve and I have obviously worked very closely together since he was appointed in May 2009 and I have learnt a lot from him. I am sure all of the Thunder family will wish him well in his next venture."
