Do the comments in the report from Saturdays game signal an end to this agreement between TS, the club and the paper and in turn signal the end of the road for TS?'"
The change in tone was quite noticeable, possibly the first time they have openly questioned him, from what I can recall. |

Completely agree 100%
And look at Wakefield I personally think Chris Chester has done a brilliant job with what resources he has to hand.. Good coaching |

I absolutely understand the current love in for Powell, but suggest we do a comparison between him and Smith in 5 years or so when his star has faded. Don't forget, if we'd done the comparison 5 years back Powell was a failed Leeds coach scraping around in the Championship. |

Looks as though you are getting OZ coach McQuire for 2018.

The WG has never been a bench mark for good reporting anyway from my experience

We are just fortunate to be in the minority of towns which still sustains a local paper.
In a town like Warrington, where the council is largely made up of members from one party, a local newspaper is invaluable. |

There is little local about the Warrington Guardian anymore.
Half a dozen employees sat at laptops from a regional NW office of Newsquest in a unit in centre park that employs most of its workforce from outside of Warrington, adding to our already increasing traffic issues.
No Warrington printing workforce, No Warrington logistical or distribution workforce.
Great local paper that is.

Anyone remember the front page they did for Steve Anderson towards the end of his 'reign'? A picture of his face on a rugby ball with the headline 'Kick him in to touch' or similar wasn't it?
