THE Western Force has laughed off a suggestion that coach John Mitchell is facing the sack.
An unsubstantiated website report has claimed Mitchell's future is under a cloud with the board of RugbyWA, the controlling body of the Western Force, meeting tonight to consider his future.
But RugbyWA chairman Geoff Stooke told PerthNow that Mitchell's future was not on the agenda.
"There is no suggestion that we will be discussing the sacking of John Mitchell.'' Mr Stooke said.
"We have our normal monthly meeting tonight with our normal agenda.
"There is no extraordinary meeting or agenda. It is our standard agenda.
"In terms of discussing John Mitchell's future this season....it is not on the agenda."
The website report claims there have been rumblings of discontent about Mitchell's coaching methods and a move to give players a bigger say in the match committee was interpreted as a sign of the club trying to "rein" him in.
