agreed there seems to have learned from his mistakes, but only 4th choice must hurt,

I do not think Paul was.

Had the club asked him to take the post before the season started I wonder what the response would have been on here.

I am chuffed he is now coach.

As I've said before, I'm going to hold back on the congrats until he's done something positive.

Too much history, and apart from his playing career, not a lot of it good.


Yes, he's a Leyther. So what? Do we want Georgie Fame coaching us 'Just because he's a Leyther?'.

Nah he supports wigan

Very true - never did like him or his music - believe he was 'contaminated' as a child - wot some Leigh folk do to their kids is disgraceful

I've just gone right off him. Coming from Cotton St aswell. Turn coat. Have to say when I was playing and courting I used to sit with my girlfriends mum and dad in the Miners and his dad sat on the next table. He was lovely.

Be fair. His music was good. I think he ate a dodgy meat and prayter pie and as a result contracted a very nasty virus. Now if he had bought a pastie instead who knows ?

Must have been one from that Pooles place. Can't have been a Leigh bakers.

Built a squad on 50% of Basil's budget.

What history???

3 clubs in 21 years, I a real bad egg Rowls

Why are some people getting all giddy about what he's achieved? He's done nowt yet. Season starts 12th Feb @3pm. Friendlies mean nothing.

My view is we get right behind the team and coach, including when things are going against us. Judge and jury for Rowley should be end of season for if he's done well.

Congrats Paul Rowley and good luck in the coming season!!

Quite right, although not everyone is of the same view. Got a message today from someone who won't come until Rowls has gone
