He'd been on a double header,admitted he shouldn't being talking and reiterated the cost of £750k a season to run the club. Mike Latham didn't look a happy chappy.

And another a knob sack, not very profesional.

The interview is a cheap shot at the fans isn't it, We are being made the scapegoat. It is rather poor. I expect better from Derek to be truthful.

Very poor. He doesn't seem to realise that fans don't care about what happens behind the scenes, how well prepared the players are etc... I don't think anybody has ever doubted Neil Jukes' work ethic, but a string of underperformances on the pitch meant it was only ever going to end how it did.

Jukes was lucky to first survive a hefty losing run prior to beating Hull, then the abject displays at Widnes and Warrington that showed a broken team and then a meek surrender in the MPG.

After all this, 5.5k turn up to see a new team, with fresh optimism against Toronto, only to see different players, same mistakes and same result. Even then some gave benefit of the doubt, but then after conceding a lead to Barrow and then a bigger lead at home to 12 man Toulouse, it would've been more surprising if there wasn't a barrage of boos!

Also, in the interview, DB was at pains to point out Jukes' lack of experience and the fact he's never worked under a SL coach. So he knew he wasn't qualified but kept him in the job anyway!

Centurino, when Neil Barker left we lost our main Marketing guy,I don't know who will or has replaced him,as for bums on seats, the team showing a bit of fire and a few good games will do that, the recent dip in attendances have been because of team performances.
It won't help by Derek having a go at the fans,a few of Zulus points are very true, including admission prices and refreshment prices at the LSV.

it was a fan a Derek did not show, he needs to pipe down and chill, he is starting to be a dictator

They advertised the marketing postion approx 3-4 weeks ago on the site so I assume its been filled by now.

I didn't mean marketing in the literal sense. I think we all agree, like most salesmen, Derek has a big gob. He talks a lot but doesn't communicate that effectively. Now is the time to step up and turn this mess around, by selling himself to a new coach, to the players who I'm sure think he's losing it, to businssess and more importantly to paying supporters. Even LCTV has gone to pot at present; game video presentation is dire, and still £21 more expensive than Wigan TV -- used simply as a comparsion, I am NOT a wigan TV subscriber.

If I did as badly in my job my boss would boo me all the way to the job centre.

I think everyone is thankfull for dereks input financially its fantastic. But it wasn't to long ago leigh was talked about for our exciting expansive displays on the pitch , far more exiting than the humdrum if super league. The only time we are talked about now is about our owner & his social media escapades. Its not about him its about what happens on the pitch not how many batteries are needed & charity boxing matches . He needs to stay in the background & not jump in on every interview & picture opportunity
