Quote: Wire Weaver "Utter rubbish. Mike Cooper did not decide he wanted to leave next season. When Powell came in this season, he told Mike that he would not be offered a new contract for next season.
Mike did not want to leave Warrington, nor did he want extra time out to run his business, as has been said.
His leaving is down solely to Powell, who, for some reason had a downer on Mike from day one.'"
100% support this view. Despite the inaccurate rumours Mike has maintained his dignity and said nothing because of his respect and love for the club.
IMO Powell has gone about this all the wrong way and ruined this club in 12 months. he has taken the enjoy and enthusiasm out of going the game for me and I know a lot of people will agree. I just hope the board have backed the right horse and I will be the first to acknowledge I was wrong if they are proved right.
