After tonights performance your team is

As Rich posted elsewhere, Widnes don't like playing Leigh at the best of times but Leigh are playing out of their skin and Widnes are down to having the cleaning the lady in the pack.

Thats a bit harsh on Jim Gannon

To me this is a sad sad turn of events. MH did an awful lot behind the scenes that he rarely got public credit for and his influence in signing some top players seems to have been overlooked by many of his detractors on here. Unless we can replace him with someone equally influential, this could be the most damaging of recent events to the club long term.

At least the money we have lost through being out of both cups will be minimised by the savings on Hall's and Clay's salaries.

.... I don't think they received a salary from the club, and indeed put money in when needed. If that's true I can't see how the club can afford replacements.

Maybe they will wait til Sunday morning and then hit us with something else. That would follow suit.

I'm pretty sure Clay did as he was CEO and not, I believe, a board member. I would also be surprised if Hall didn't receive a salary as he was previously coach and it would seem a retrograde step to then be promoted to Football Director and not be paid. Some people have mentioned Hall putting money into the club. Have they any proof of this or have they just made the assumption because he had "Director" in his job description?

I don't believe that Martin Hall was a member of the BOD anyway as it was reported, when Clay and Posner left that it left only 3 full Directors, Michael Steele, Mike Riley and Ian Croad.

Says in courier, that Hall hadn't drawn a wage since last year

Quite rightly too as he was, apparently, never around. It seems that the club's major error was keeping someone on board who was no longer fully commited. I mean, if he found he was having to spend more and more time away it would have been better for all concerned if he had resigned at the end of last season.

And then they still tried to take us on down the middle, Cullen is a coaching genius

Not been the greatest of years...

Sad to see MH leave after everything he's done, all the best in the future to him.

Can't believe nobody can see whats happened here. Hall is loaded anyway so won't miss the wage he was pulling for doing knack all (and yes he was getting paid). He's taken full blame for something he knew nothing about as he wasn't here, just so his drinking buddy can keep his job.

Surely as Director of Football he should have known about it and ignorance is not an excuse. So the buck stops with HIM
