Life as a Warrington fan has been very up and down over the past few seasons. Regular visits to Old Trafford that have promised so much and have only ended with 25,000 fans on the train home drowning their sorrows with watered down lager and kebabs.

The truth is, it seems Mr Smith has surpassed his shelf life with the club. Yes, we must be thankful for the three Challenge Cup victories, however; to put in a performance that was on display on Friday night is quite frankly unacceptable. How can a team go from 2nd and 3rd place Old Trafford appearances, to potentially playing at Leigh Sports Village in the near future???

Tony came out on Friday and said that if players weren't committed to the club, they can walk through the doors of the HJ. I hope there was a mirror in the room when he said this because the same must apply to him. Week after week we hear a different excuse from the man.... "It was Danny Brough's kicking game that cost us, lKevin Brown was in a league of his own tonight, we switched off at times...." The list is endless. It seems all Tony has done for the past few weeks is sit in his little birds nest and keep the employees at Wrigleys chewing gum in a job.

It seems like I am being harsh but just like a player, a coach has to move in at some point, and I feel Me Smith has done all he can for the club. All to do now is find a newbie for 2016 but for now.... Mr Briers, take the reins.

I beg of you (the rest of the punters on this forum), DO NOT REPLY TO THIS (.)

Truth hurts sometimes Wire fan of 16 years

Since he took over, we have won 3 challenge cups, 1 LLS, and made 2 Grand final appearances as well as being in the semi final of both the play offs and challenge cup last year. Sure, this year is a decline, but I find it laughable how people are calling for Tony's head after one painfully average season (so far) in which we still have a pretty good chance of winning the CC, again.

It'll be 2 seasons come November.

To be fair does anyone really believe we will win SL in this year or next?

We won`t finish in the top four this year, so there will be no play-off games, for Wire in 2015,

Not this year. As for next year - a lot can happen. I never though during the Lowes games we would do a CC double either.

Agree with wirewirewire. Lets keep the fath in TS.

I'm more concerned about you dropping the "H" and the word spacings, from the thread title, the spelling on these forums is atrocious.

So you've supported Wire for 16 years..... so what ?

If you think there's a better option to TS out there waiting to come and take us forward then I'm very interested to hear who you think it is ?

In the meantime, go and give your head a wobble.

Tony needs to stay. Lee Briers as his assistant. Learn the ropes from a top coach with the plan of taking over in 1/2 years. It's the players who are garbage and our recruitment policy. Fresh start in 2016. 7/8 to go and be replaced. End of.

The recruitment over the last couple of years has been a bit hit and miss. For me the crucial recruitment period is the next one readying the team hopefully for a climb back up to the top. I think the TS mantra of evolution rather than revolution needs to be put to one side for the moment because the team needs a shake up. I don't know if the players we wanted either went somewhere else, were too expensive or were just not available. Only TS and the board know that. Next season will show if the current set up up can take us forward or not. I really hope they can.

People that come on here and all they do is pick up on spelling and grammar... What is the matter with you??? It's a fan forum your not marking a GCSE exam paper.

I am not saying that we need to spend big money on n Aussie, just a fresh pair of eyes that can manage the team with some level of enthusiasm.

Can I also add, there was no disrespect towards Leigh in regards to the comment regarding the wire playing at the LSV. Leigh are a great team that will have a real chance next weekend.
