Simple they kept Cullen on far too long somewhere in the region of 3-4 yrs too long ,they then appointed a coach who had zero experience and to go that long and not improve was a disgrace,Fortunately the board have got us a franchise a new stadium and we make a profit every year which can't be said at the majority of clubs, Now the on field side has to play catch up with the off field side of the business as long as the board and Simon Moran back Tony Smith 100% in all of his decisions we will turn it around we still have some deadwood with the likes of Briers and Monaghan and maybe a few others who will be shipped out but in Tony Smith we have faith



KEEP THE FAITH !!!!!!!!! ONCE A WIRE ALWAYS A WIRE !!!!!!!!!

it's not the board to blame it's the top quality players we signed who have come here on the back of big reputations and not performed.
it is a big job for tony smith but one that he will pull off.

It was more directed about the ill-discipline of the playing squad, Why has the board allowed it. Yes we have signed top quality players, they come to warrington and we destroy them, you put King or Monas in a Saints side, they will perform.

King is performing. For whatever reason, it took him a year to settle. There's countless overseas players that this has been the case with. I'm actually now looking forward to watching him for the best part of the next three years, he's starting to look a real assett and will only get better.

It'll take fans (other clubs) a while to click on, they'll only have seen the donkey from last year. We've seen him for the last four games or so, and he's been very good. Every time he touched the ball yesterday, he carried it strongly, looked a threat & you felt if he'd have got good ball close to the line he'd have been tough to stop.

I think this is the culmination of a three year plan to send the club into the abyss.

Afterall, why would they want anything other than to run it into the ground.

Couldn't put it better myself! If fans think things will change over night now Tony Smith is in charge then they're wrong. It is clear there has/are problems deep down at our club and but I believe TS has already shown that he isn't going to take anyone under performing and slowly we will see the results. Fans need to give the players time and get behind the team... and booing is NOT going to help matters, only destroy the confidence that TS is trying to give the players!

I think it puts into perspective what Cullen was actually achieving. The players ultimately let him down.

Yep I agree . Cullen did well ..

I think TS think our underachivement is down to our inconsistency and our inconsistency is down to our defence. It looks like the big time beer monsters are on there way out. We will get there.

Its gonna be a long season though

Was going to make a similar point. Under Cullen we were never this bad.

I am shocked by how far backwards we have gone.

Part of me feels anger towards Lowes, as it was under him that the team went so far backwards, but it couldn't possibly go that wrong due to the manager in such a short space of time, could it?

I'd feel much happier if he was on his way too now to be honest. A legacy from the past we are trying to recover from.

Do you really think one pre-season with the wrong man in charge can have such a negative effect on a team? I keep wondering whether my anger is misplaced?

I think your pre-season dictates how your whole season goes.

Yeah, that's my thought too, watching them yesterday it was just shocking how that team looked a shadow of it's previous attack minded self.

No. The only coach we need to look at when trying to pinpoint fault was the one who was in position for 6 years, not one who had just 14 games. People have short memories.
