The board-FACT

Dont matter which players get sacked or which "world class" (sic) manager gets brought in,this lot will always be a mickey mouse oufit

Forgive me if I'm wrong,but to sit on a board of any sort of organisation,you'd have to know something about that particular field.

Hense the question;
"What are Broomhead and Hoyle doing on there?"

Its a clique.Everyone knows,but everyone is too scared to say.

Cas are in town on monday and anyone who makes a living out of rl betting,especially Warrington games will know which way to bet.

Place the bet,then phone in sick on tuesday and count your winnings.

I have to say that Smith's only been here 4 weeks and I think he's what's needed.

I don't disagree with your points about the higher-ups in the club and by luck/circumstance (and not judgement) they have at least put the right man in the right job and just have to let him get on with it and take his glory when it comes. In the meantime they can focus on sorting out the crock that is the general commercial offering of the club and deal with the smaller crowds we will be getting for the rest of the season. Things will get better I'm sure.

2010 - the year of the Wolf!!!!!

Worrying times for the club.....Big tax bill on the table, and the promise of diminishing crowds, as a bottom 4 finish awaits.

Oh, what a balls up the club has made of such a promising situation they were in not so long ago, both on and off the field....

More the case that the problem is stupid fans who expect a new manager to turn it round in a couple of weeks .
Got news for you son it won't happen T.S has not brought any of his own players in yet and may not be able to bring anyone in until next season so do not expect anything from this season,the dynamics of our team/squad is wrong and cannot be rectified over night .
This is the 1st time I can remember our board making the right decision in regards to the manager and backing him 100% so I as a fan will support them as long as they make the right decisions with our on field side of the business ,the off field side has not been a problem so give them a break !
I think this thing with the tax man will be solved and I wish people would stop speculating about things they know nothing about. at the end of the day we will not be the only club under investigation ALL clubs will be under investigation and it will all be resolved in the end and we will still be in business at the end and still in SL so no problem imo !

I firmly believe its the boards fault for where we are at the moment. Cullen was kept too long but I accept that they went for Smith before the WC, and now at last we have the right man.

The board have evidently taken steps to move us forward(Smith, Bastian, Wright) but unfortunately it was after the horse had bolted. The future is looking better but were going to have to knuckle down as supporters and accept its going to be a long hard slog to turn us into real contenders. Those thinking 2010 are simply deluded.

We are like ahouse that has been built on sand and I honestly believe that.

Removing board members would do nothing but to pay lip service to certain sections of the fans.

In the short to medium term get used to days like this. Remember them when were where we want to be.

Least we have a sexy stadium and no problems with the tax man.

A very good post.....I said a couple of weeks ago that Tony Smith's 2 and a half year deal would not be long enough to sort out the mess we are in.

There is a LOT of dead wood hanging around the club, and it certainly won't be fixed overnight.

I'm truely amazed at some of the sh*te our fans are capable of coming out with, the board are the problem? Classic.

I think you'll find that the problem is we 'buy' world class but we do not ' build' a world class team. You can't buy a team, you have to built one !

To be fair, I think people are finally sussing out that a certain Mr Cullen was given far too much time in which to wreck the club, by bringing in numerous terrible signings, which were compounded by even more terrible contract renewals, even when it was obvious those players were average at best....(Clarke, Reardon...

)

A more knowledgeable board may have realised a lot sooner, that Cullen should have been shipped out to Sky a long time before he eventually was.

That sums things up perfectly for me.

You can be forgiven if you want, but you'd still be wrong.

Even at this time of year, I think that is far too Christian of you.

Out of interest why have you sold gleeson ?

Been looking for a new club for over a year, Smith made it happen for him.

I guess this is more a question for Tony Smith but in my opinion he did not want to play for us and secondly he was a bad influence on others.

Cos he didn't want to stay.

Cos Wigan offered him a 3.5 year contract.

Cos his attitude was not what Smith wants.

Cos we needed some money.

Take your pick.

Agree entirely with the initial post. The board are a bunch of dithering idiots. apart from SM why are the others there? As a club we should be looking to expand the club, increase attendances and expand the stadium, but instead crowds have been dropping at an alarming rate in recent years.

If Gleeson was sold to stave off the taxman that lies with the people who run the club.
Ask yourself what does the club do to look after us, the fans? All there bothered about is making money from sponsors etc.
Also I believe the handling of the Jimmy situation was an outrage, they should be ashamed of themselves for making him sit in that press conference.
Jimmy was not to blame, the whole attitude at the club, players etc like in any business comes from the example the board sets.
SACK THE BOARD!

Hope he starts his new clique asap.

Could somebody explain the in-depth, unquestionable RL knowledge that Eamon McManus, the well known financier and Tony Colquitt, the Sales and Marketing Director posess?

I have no idea what our board do, and I suspect that I am not the only one on this thread.

SACK THE BOARD!!!!!

We have Loose forward and a halfback as our first choice centres
