The Board of Directors manage a company on behalf of the shareholders, who are the owners. For a company like Tesco with millions of shares and thousands of shareholders it makes sense since they can't all roll up to every meeting. So the Board have to act in the best interests of the shareholders. But as you rightly point out (also stated as item 25 in the 2015 Final Accounts), Mr Moran controls the company. Unless Mr Moran has entirely devolved the decision making to the Board, I think it is more than reasonable to assume that he decides who gets fired and appointed in the head coach role.

And like I said, it potentially makes Karl a lame duck in this situation. Not an ideal position to be in so early in his tenure.

The definite answer to this thread is a big fat YES.

Bring back Cullen....he at least knew what a back and a forward was.
Put him in charge with Murphy again.
With passion and mouth....they'll give it to this shower big style.

Mate i want smith out but please stop it with the Murphy nonsense....he was outdated in the 90s ffs and not exactly compos mentis

It's not good enough, attendances will be dropping.

Well. Attendances in the championship are generally lower.

He's now got his underpants on his head

there is nothing there at the moment...no spark in defence or attack. we look totally devoid of ideas. Kevin Brown is one of the worst signings I can remember.

One of my work colleagues is a Widnes fan and as soon as Brown left he went abbe got a season tickets. He was hysterical with laughter when he heard he'd signed here

he literally did nothing until he was carried off...nothing.

Hull KR went down with a better team than this.

True, they had Albert Kelly too....what I wouldnt give to have him in our team now

He's done nothing since that walk in try v Brisbane .. Seriously average !

I had to apologise to a work colleague as brown proved me wrong during the Brisbane game. On Monday I got an apology back.
With age Brown is, we don't have time to have him finding his feet. If we wanted someone who needed time to bed in, certainly wouldn't be someone reaching twilight of career.

As a point of interest, my Kodi feed went down for 10 minutes. When it came back, the great letdown had disappeared. What happened to him

dreadful didn't break sweat what a shocking player he has been

hit high and handsome by Glen Stuart right on the jaw ....out like sleeping beauty.

seen them given as a straight red but we didnt get a fifty fifty all day so he got ten in the bin and we lost our er.....great playmaker for the rest of the game.....

Glenn Stewart tried to knock some RL sense in to Brown's chin with his forearm.

I'm not holding my breath, as to when Stewart's brand of "medicine" has some effect on The Great Letdown

Ashamed to say I enjoyed the replays. Wage thief.

its not often a team improves when they loose a starting half back...its exactly what happened last night. A truly awful, terrible signing born out of desperation.....as was the signing of Matty Blyth.

We have slipped back to our bad old habit of taking a punt on a player....not signing high quality stars...but risky might-be's and has-beens.

Smith HAS to take responsibility for this situation....along with Agar.

Interesting that many players can't attend Ben Harrison's testimonial ladies night 'due to recent results and a change in training schedule'. Sounds like they are getting a deserved punishment but a shame for Ben. Probably for the best anyway - had a game of rugby broken out in the evening we would have still lost!

And he did so with no fear, cos the Leigh pack owned the Wires pack.
