NOBODY more than Allan and Paul would of been more disappointed with yesterday’s performance, score line etc than they would have been. But what would you like them to do come on here and type that they agree with you?'"
Perhaps. That doesn't make them any good though does it? I'm gutted by our performance all season, but it doesn't mean I can coach the side. If they're that upset by it, then they should be willing to step aside and let someone else have a crack at saving us.
I was one of Pauls biggest fans as a player, he could do no wrong. As a coach though, I wouldn't do the proverbial if he was on fire.

Just read that last comment it’s absolutely unbelievable that someone could complain on here about it.'"
Fair comment about the coat, but Paul can still f*** off.
Quote: Tipster Ste "Everybody says Paul should go, yes results have been poor and some performances even worse, but did he sign those players? Can he change those players now? Would any other coach come in knowing Ian will be back in 5 games? Some of you will no doubt say we could have signed all those Oldham players that Barrow signed on Friday. Do you not think we would have tried too, but if a players is offered a 2 year deal or a 5 game deal knowing he won’t be at the 5 game deal club next year whats he going to do?
I have no doubt the capture of Ian will absolutely revolutionise our great club again but in the immediate term its had a negative effect; no players will sign unless they are offered long term deals knowing they are part of Ian’s plans, the players Ian obviously wants for 2010 aren’t available right now. Some of the present squad have given up as opposed to trying their hardest for a contract next year and be a part of the revolution.

Perhaps if Paul wasn't so far up his own backside he would have consulted with IM as to who might be a good buy, and gone hunting for them instead? I'm sure that most players would leap at a three year contract under IM, even if offered it by PR. It looks like a lot of those players may actually realise that they can pull the wool over PRs eyes, but there is less chance with Milward.

The second point I want to clear up as many seem to think I stick up for Paul/Allan too much but again I will deal in facts. Ever since Paul came back in 2002 there have been constant nonsense written here about him falling out with coaches. Paul Terzis signed him and why if he had fallen out with Terzis would Rowley get offered the chance to go coaching with Paul in Australia 2 years later? The next coach to come in; show me a player who didn’t fall out with him????? Then came TB who when you look at the playing list at Leigh in 2006 it was a disaster that we didn’t go up. Then came Shawy who appointed Paul as his assistant. Then came Ned who agreed to like wise. Then if any of you think Paul took the job in March/April not knowing Leigh were to attempt for the 4th time to bring Basil back then I give up! That’s Paul’s history since he came back!!! Yes there might have been people he fell out with; do you get on with every one of your bosses and colleagues? But the garbage that’s written on here it’s a wonder he’s given over 10 years of loyal service to his home town club!
'"
I wonder how much PR would have learned if he'd gone of with Terzis? History shows that he's learned sod all in charge at Leigh FFS. Yes, he was offered the chance... but he didn't take it, and we're suffering for that.
One has to wonder how much truth there is in the stories that at least one of our post PT coaches was told that PR came as a part of the package - take it or leave it.

I have faith in the club. Its the coach and his dad I'm struggling with.
