Ian Millward is statistically the worst coach in Castlefords history (excluding short term temporary coaches).

His record of 7 wins and 1 draw from 36 league games and one challenge cup games represents a 20% success rate.

His wins have been against Salford (2) Wakefield, Hull KR, Huddersfield , Widnes, and London.
Not a very good record to say the least.

He should do the honourable thing and resign from the club, he knows they are in difficulty financially, and he knows he will be released from his duties when his term expires. It will be an uneasy period for him if he continues, as he has now lost the confidence of the supporters, who last night were calling for his head.

The players have lost respect for him, as is being shown on the field every week now.

If he resigns he will at least have some dignity and will be applauded . I would raise my glass to him if he did this, but if he stays for another season and a half, I would dread to think what a mess we would be in.

Please if you read these comments do the honourable thing and resign.

Thank you.

I was going to start this thread although my name topic would have been something like "Time to wake up".
Anyway a apology from me as I backed Ian Millward at the start of the season. I want to still because thats the way I am but I have woke up and seen sence.
I afraid its
Time for action
Decisions need to be made. The board have given Ian a chance and he has not made the most of it and its 'time to go'

Let him stay where he is , hes doing no harm .

I love it when folk quote stats and get them wrong,didnt he coach Cas to a win this season v Leeds ?? or was he on leave for that one ? just that i cant see it on your list of wins ?

In Mildred we trust!!!

Phew! Must have imagined Cas's win over us (Leeds) earlier on this year

Sorry error, still doesnt hide the fact it is 7 wins, does it really matter who they were against, doesnt alter the stats7 wins 36 games.

Despite the horror of what happened in his time at Wigan I was probably in the minority at wanting Ian Millward to do well following his time in Australia.

Given the players that Castleford have in their squad Im pretty surprised at how badly things seem to be going for the club at the moment and given Salfords rise from the ashes it seems to have put even more pressure on the club.

Today I really thought that you could hurt St.Helens given their injuries but today could prove to be the nail in the coffin for Basil.

At least there is no relegation.

Red hall could take the franchise off us mid term.

Very very very doubtful if they didn't take it off Wakey 2011

When did we beat London with Millward in charge?

It never amazes me the clubs with the most fickle fans do the most moaning, Basil has brought a club structure that will serve your club well over the foreseeable future. Back him instead of throwing knives at him, the jungle your acting like animals

Get rid of our BOD and bring in proper business minded people.

With all due respect, your not paying hundreds of pounds to watch the absolute $h1te he's serving up. Our bod are far from perfect (obviously) but the squad Millward has is not 14th best in SL.

I have already apologised for that , it should have been leeds not London.
Whats the deal, we are still absolute garbage. You sound like Millwards brother or friend.
He is not fir for the job, talks a bloody good, talk, but no walk.

1. I would have thought it entirely predictable that fickle fans would do the most moaning.

2. If the results/performances under IM continue to be so bad we wont have a future to foresee

3. We're not talking about bagging a coach weeks into the job.......he's been here 18 months and I cant think of a single facet of our game he's improved

4. We dont play at the Jungle (or, it could be argued, anywhere else) these days

That is the only way will will get out of this mess. Unfortunately that won't happen though. This BOD will sell up and we won't have a ground and we won't have a club to follow. They a running us down now.

good to see millward signing salfords players back ryan boyle gone back to you how desperate are you for a lumbering prop forward who cant make our starting line up

dont try to get away from your history mate its what makes you the great club you are, and for improvement, your not far off, when it all clicks together thats when you should judge him,

You do know you've got Jake Emmett in return don't you ?

Yes it is both in reality and in potential - that's the problem you have, fans like you think you're better than you are. In reality you're down and dirty with all the rest of the bottom feeders and have been for years (you just didn't realise).

I consider Wakefield to be the crème de la crème of the bottom feeders at present but all things are relative and I know what our place is for now - get over yourself.

Vasty I appreciate your bias but consider this fairly...

Is rangi chase the 14th best starting stand off in super league?
Is darryl clarke the 14th best hooker in super league?
Are Shenton and Webster the 14th best centre pairing in super league?

I could go on but you catch my drift...

I don't think CTID was saying we are a top club, simply that our squad isn't the worst.

Ok, we might be 12th maybe even 13th, but no way should that squad be the whipping boys that they currently are.

To say "wakefield are the creme-de-la-creme of e" sounds a little bit pathetic. There is no grandeur in being the best of the poor teams.

Last week didn't you say I was 'a plank' for daring to say you weren't a great side ??? This week your calling yourself bottom feeders ??? Wtf Vasty ??? You been on some hard drugs lad ???

I'm sorry but the team/squad is not 14th best on paper... With a half competent coach our squad is as good as the Wakefield one as well as a few others.

^^^^ you'll have ruffled feathers there lad.

With a sensational squad like Wakefields???

The self confessed "creme-de-la-crap"???

The best rubbish team in the country???

How dare you sir. How DARE you.

With Clark and Chase in your squad you should be higher, but you have an incompetent half back in Jamie Ellis, a hot head in Justin Carney, injury prone Jake Webster, and the likes of Richard Owen and Craig Huby who haven't seemed to be pulling their weight this season. You may not be the worst team in terms of ability, but I think when it comes to attitude you are close to it.
