We have been for 3 years. McNamara saw to that, but we don't have the backing financially that the other big guns do now and we'd better get used to it. We've had our moments of glory and the future is mediocrity and occasional bright moments

By the way, I started watching Northern in 1964 and haven't missed alot since then, but this is up there among the low points (or is it down there?) in all that time. Full time players, full time coaching staff, part time effort and commitment. Junk.

the difference is, you can lose even heavily, and it's still fine and I can go home happy, if the ladss tried, and did their best.

I did not go home happy today.

When you look at the club history we seem to get a good side together every 30 years or so.

We'll be back amongst the honours in 2035...

The only thing Peter Hood has to answer for is why he left it so long to act when it became apparent that McNamara was out of his depth.

Warrington were no more than average today....we reached a new low. Utterly disgraceful! Lets hope we can get a sugar daddy like Warrington did with Simon Moran...turned a joke of a club into a contender overnight. Now we're rapidly becoming a joke unfortunately>

Overnight? Moran has been at the club for nearly 7 years now - even before he bought the club we were in the process of sorting ourselves out off the pitch with the new stadium etc. Our improvement has not come about overnight but is the result of steady progress over a number of years including a greater degree of professionalism both on and off the pitch including superb work from our academy which I do not doubt we will benefit from in the years to come.

A sugar daddy is not what you need - and is not the reason for our recent upturn in fortunes. It is clear (albeit from the outside looking in) that the whole club needs reorganising.

You are lucky in being able to get a new stadium! We have been trying for 35 years to get a fit for purpose stadium. Every single time we get thwarted. A financial backer is what we need...If you believe that you coukl have done what you've done (2 Challenge Cups..no Super League Title btw), without Moran you are utterly deluded!

Sorry, but that is bollox.

I probably know a lot more about this than you do, for a number of reasons. What the Bulls needs desperately is MONEY. To spend on all the off-field structure, on the academy (how else can the likes of you and Hudds keep making much bigger offers to our academy lads than we can?) and on marketing. Wire, Saints, Wigan, Leeds, Hudds, Quins, HKR and Salford all have wealthy owners -who have been prepared to bankroll the clubs when and where necessary. We have none. Go figure?

And we desperately need a new stadium. How much did your stadium cost (the very insolvent) Warrington Rugby League club company? Funnily enough, you won't see the stadium in the club accounts, but in those of the separate stadium holding company. Same as Hudds. Where did the money come from to pay for the HJ? Not from the club. One little clue: You and Wigan and Saints (for example) all got new stadia on the back of a big Tesco development. Other new stadia are on the back of sizeable retail components (apart from the KC, which was built using a massive council windfall). Our useless worthless dungheap of a council effectively made sure we were stopped from doing likewise with Tesco (even though they then proceeded to sanction TWO other huge new Tesco developments in the city). Funnily enough, at a time when the pressure on the Bulls to move in with Bradford City to rescue them was intense. Go figure?

And that is to ignore all the tittle-tattle about how Wire and some other clubs seem to be able to get far more value out of the supposedly fixed salary cap than other less fortunate clubs. We may not be spending the full cap, but the difference in quality - and presumably cost? - on the park today was startling.

If you are so clever, pray tell us, specifically, what needs re-organising? And, more to the point, how you would set about paying for it?
