Oh, I don't mean should we tell him to sell up. I am looking at the issue from his point of view - should he bother with all the aggro after the money he has put into the club and the time it must take away from running his other businesses ? Lets face it, we all get to a point where we say 'enough', and walk away. As fans we are fortunate because we don't have the time and money commitment that he does, so if we don't like what we are seeing on the pitch we can go for a game of golf instead. No, if he does pull the plug we will be in real trouble - but then as was previously mentioned, since he pays for the club its 'at his whim.

Didn't Philbin get an injury titting on a diving board?

What is 'Titting on diving boards'...? I'm getting on a bit and not up to speed with the latest fads. Is it some sort of new craze for those with ManBoobs? And was he disciplined for it? Where are the selfie pics on his twitter account?

Well i dont get the need for going away for warm weather training, what was point of spending half million quid on an indoor training pitch, is that just for when it rains.

Plenty of reasons to do it, training in warmer weather has its benefits the reasoning behind the trip is sound however the players are there to train and improve not be fooling round in the sun and there should have been things in place to stop it or at least deter people from seeing it as a jolly up !

Fun should be encouraged. Shared experiences are vital for building relationships within the team. They're not just work colleagues, they need to Be brothers almost on the pitch. And why should they not enjoy time away. Work hard, they should be able to enjoy themselves.

As others have said, if you want to express serious reservations about the current set up or, even better if you have constructive ideas about how to solve the crisis, write to Simon or Stuart at the club.
The Royal Mail still works. However, you'd need to include your name and address. The club is unlikely to pay much attention to anonymous posters on this board.

By and large supporters do not have the expertise to run a club, either from the business side or the playing side, and I'm speaking as someone who has part-owned and run businesses with turnovers much higher than WRLFC. The sports business is a very particular one. I am a passionate fan of the Wire but I am not capable of running the club not of advising them on coaching or playing staff appointments. I doubt if anyone else on this board is capable either.

We are entitled to complain, and the ultimate sanction is, of course, to stop turning up to watch.

Or pass comment in your leisure on the designated club forum on the worlds most popular RL portal under a specific topic to express your opinion and encourage debate.

How about you do what you want, and I'll do what I want?

SM should not sell up, what he should do is ask the team management and his board what the heck they are doing with his money, Gary Wheeler, Ryan Bailey, Matty Blythe and Kevin Brown? Three of them are clearly not the standard of player wanted or needed at our club (I know by twist of fate that Bailey has more medals than Mr T) Brown once had something but lost it on his way over here. Allowing the Board to promote a person with very limited experience at a high level is a poor move and doesn't help the current. situation.

In summary don't sell, just sort out the mess we are currently in!

because a look at what happened pre season with regards to having fun!!

yes we want them to play well together and work for each other however there are differences between how they should behave on their warm weather training sessions and how they actually behaved !! this has had a knock on effect at the start of the season

as mentioned philbin was injured and the photos posted seemed they were there to have a jolly up rather than working hard and playing hard

Just the title of this thread is evidence enough that fans should be no where need the boardroom !!!

Perhaps there's a large slice of tongue in the OP's cheek?

Whats wrong with people, your starting to sound like Wigan fans, were having a bad season, get over it, we don't have any right to success, personally I think Smith will stay, Agar will go, a few more signings and everyone will be happy again, we wont get relegated the standard between the SL and championship is vast, role on next year.
