I'm amazed the guy hasn't been sacked. Perhaps he's waiting to lead them to back to back wooden spoons so the Widnes board will have to pay out his contract?

Job for life

As you can see by our plummeting attendances us Widnes supporters are more than baffled how he is still in charge. He picks some strange sides, his interchanges are terrible, and we have zero tactics. We have the smallest pack ever in SL and he still tries to play up the middle. We struggle to make ground and he drops any player who dares to show a bit of flair.
Just hopeless :'(

Problem is, you have a bloke in charge who is more than happy with churning out this sh*t week after week. Rule gave us the Agar years so we know all about it. How the hell that bloke has a role at St George I'll never know!!

Agreed with what others have said. He's got a job for life.

Widnes seem to be a club just happy to be in SL. It's almost like they want to be a community club and funding a first team is an inconvenience. They want to take the money and put lads on I.T courses and then maybe look at the first team.

The work they do in the community is fantastic, but they are in our elite competition and that shouldn't take precedence over the first team. Widnes have some great young players coming through, but they are coming into a club that doesn't support it's first team, has completely lost a connection with the fans (which is now irreparable and i'm surprised the Widnes fans have had this much patience)

Having said all that, even if they sack Betts it won't solve all their problems, they have deeper issues that i've mentioned above. The attitude of those above Betts needs to change. Have some ambition!

Also agree with Karen about James Rule. How that man gets a job in our sport is anyones guess.

Sky reporting Betts is set to leave Widnes. So much for that 'job for life' eh?

Being replaced by Francis Cummins apparently
