He should be brave enough to drop his mate Holmes and admit he made a mistake signing him. His stats last night were an embarrassment.

Well that would be utter madness

Agree.

We'd be stuck between a rock and a hard place if that we're to happen. A whole new squad signed by Powell with his set up in mind being coached by a brand new coach.

I seriously doubt the board will stick with a man who has taken a Wire side down for the first time in our history, especially with the financial backing he’s had. This is a man who has been warned twice by the club for his conduct, he’s on very thin ice and relegation would certainly see the back of him.

If we are relegated, then the whole new squad would be tearing up their contracts and looking for other clubs. Then we'd be back to square one needing to re-build a squad that is full of players happy to play in the championship. In other words, championship standard ones. The cost of relegation to the club would be far greater than sticking to the principle of giving any coach a fair amount of time, and keeping DP no matter what damage it inflicts on Warrington RLFC.

Can you elaborate on the two conduct warnings? What is that all about and where had this info come from?

Indeed - it's a curse!

I am also intrigued by this?

We wouldn't come back up if we kept him after being relegated

Something I’d heard from a good source, I wouldn’t have posted it but someone else mentioned it in another thread somewhere recently so I believe it’s common knowledge. I think it was down to how he was speaking to/treating people.

Whilst I don't want it to happen, being relegated maybe just the kick up the backside that our club executive custodians need.

We are complacent, mediocre, unresponsive and unprofessional. We are also lacking pride and will happily use our lack of success as some type of "always our year" joke. We set, and accept, low standards for sporting achievement and player behaviour. The only thing that we have in our favour is wealthy owners which allows us to try and buy our way out of trouble with imported talent who often go on to underperform.

Taking fans for granted, not valuing their support and treating with contempt via ridiculous gimmicks. As for being connected with the fans - they supress information whilst simultaneously being duplicitous and are always last to make announcements. I suspect they deny free press access to the Warrington Guardian also as that reads like a North Korean critical column. They pump merchandising adverts at us at every time often just after humiliating performances. They must imagine us to be salivating dogs waiting for a bone to be thrown to them.

I fully expect to be hammered by Tolouse and 10 mins later get an email about an early bird offer for 2023 with a title "A new breed" or something equally trite.
