| Quote: Wolf Hall "The club needs some stability, so no, Simon Moran should not sell. We don't know if we will still be in the top flight next season, many players are off contract and perhaps even more will want away if we drop down; the coaching staff needs an overhaul and to be honest, from the outside, the whole club needs a good shake up. To do all that and for the man who supports the club emotionally and financially would be a disaster. How many supporters would be prepared to invest £1000 only for one of them to be on the board. And believe me, the last thing you want to do is to be on the board of a RL club, especially one that is struggling. So, Simon, please keep supporting the Wire but please use some of your business acumen and sort out this dis functional club.'"
I understand what you are saying, but simply because he owns the club (and admittedly puts £millions into it), shouldn't we as fans also decide when the coach should leave ? It's tough being a supporter atm, in fact I think a lot of posters on this board have given up and gone away. Surely supporters shouldn't have their weekend enjoyment ruined by a team that is continually plumbing the depths. We have the expectation that the team should be top 4 and playing attractive rugby at the very least.

Agreed, watching Warrington recently has been thin gruel, disappointing, frustrating and begs the question why do we do it. However, for every supporter you will get a different reason why we are doing badly, just read this forum. There are even less positive contributions as to what should be done to improve the situation. Fans by and large do not know enough about what is really going on in a club and all the various conflicting essential things which need attention. Perhaps they should but that is another story. The directors have the responsibility to deliver a successful team, it is in their interest but it is the responsibility of fans to let the directors know whether they are satisfied or not with the club's performance. So how many who criticise the club on here actually make their views known to the directors? Few I would imagine.

| I don't want Simon Moran to sell the club, he is a fan first and foremost and what he has done for the club has been absolutely massive.

| Why would he sell up? Does he need the money? I doubt it.

| Crazy talk, he’s local, a lifelong fan of the club and a brilliant businessman.
Read Stuart MaConies book, The Pie at Night. It has a great bit in it about attending a Wire game, with Simon Moran, they watch the game in the south stand eating pies.
Every sports team in the world would love a Simon Moran. He can’t guarantee success, but he’s one of us.
Hope he never sells up.

Hang on.
1) Positive contributions to improve situation.
Plenty of comments on here about replacing the coaching set up with candidates named. Plenty of suggestions about playing players in natural positions and playing the younger players. Plenty of suggestions about dropping non performing players. Plenty of suggestions as to which players we could target for recruitment.
2) Making views known to directors.
The fans forum has been abolished - by the club. The official fan club has been abolished - by the club. There is no contact link here https://warringtonwolves.com/club-info/ ... directors/. There is no channel other than Facebook and twitter which are full of feedback I can tell you. Seriously the only time the club contacts the fans is when they want them to buy something and I think they have a robot that posts "Bad news about the result, travel safely" on the FB feed.

Why don't you and some of the others on here you say make positive suggestions write to Simon Moran and the other directors and ask for a meeting so you could share your ideas as to how you could improve the club's playing fortunes? Writing on a RL Forum is unlikely to get a response from the club, just other like minded fans.
The rest of us would be interested to find out how you get on.

Well that wont work, Why because as wire as said in his post they have shut down the avenues of contact that were there previously. We had a couple of fans forums with promises of more to come but Draper left and that was the end of that.

| Can't believe the OP is serious. Warrington are lucky as hell to have a backer like Moran. As for a fans seat on the board? Jesus! What a shambles that would turn out to be. An utterly thankless task.
By all means go that way if you want to be playing us in a few years.

| Going back to Roger Draper, when it was announced he was leaving i was surprised and posted on here i felt something wasnt right. Reason for that was at forums and other times i chatted with him he was full of enthusiasm about the direction of the club and more importantly FAN engagement, next thing you know he as gone, as i said something not right about that, can only guess other board members want to keep it like the mill owners of old.

| Isn't the ultimate sanction of the paying fan to stop turning up for games ? The club will soon get the message if the cash flow dries up.
I will still be attending matches that my season ticket covers but as for next season the club will have to show me some commitment to get my hard earned cash.

this ^^^
I would not trust fans of any club to run the said club or to make any of the big decisions do I trust someone who has ran and runs a multimillion pound successful company to make hard desisions ??
