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

Here is the full song just for you

Woke up this morning feeling rough
Saw on my twitter people being tough
Just annoyed I changed the game because I could
Oh yeah
Something tells me today's doubleheaders gonna be good

And B4 u rock hard key board rattlers start it will be good
Irrespective of the result.

"wonder why he isnt feeling the love"

I think all parties need to draw a line under this issue. There are far more important issues in life than squabbling over whose right and whose wrong! A decision has been made and we move forward under 'new' guidance, DB has lost a personal friend and there's not one us who wouldn't shout up for a friend!
As a matter of interest, I too applauded Toulouse from my seat in the West Stand for the excellent Rugby they played however painful for me, it was entertaining and thrilling to see!
Come on Leigh lets turn our season around and make the LSV a tough place to get a result, again!

Spot on

When i purchase any commodity and hand over my hard earned I enter a contract with the seller that those goods will be servicable and to my satisfaction, if not, I have an avenue set out by the law of the land that allows me to complain and maybe get recompensed.
I am a season ticket holder and have been so for as long as I remember, I was certainly a supporter before DJB was even born, even though through illness I missed Sundays game but having just heard DJB's spat on Radio Manc I take it personally, how dare he *point the finger of blame at the loyal fans of this club, when I pay my money I buy the right to comment in whatever manner I deem nessacary.
DJB should be looking at the man in mirror and questioning him of his abillity in the selection of his employees for that is where the buck stops, I had nearly 50 employees, some were real hard workers but that is were they stopped, some needed a kick now and again but they were the ones who made the buisness work, it is not about one employee it is the whole melting pot, just like on the field the combinations have to be right, it is exactly the same in the front office, but if it doesn't work the manager is the one who ultimately has to be replaced by the owner or shareholders, in this case that is NJ.

*One thing that when those who point the finger of blame look at their hand there are also three fingers pointing back at them! Take heed Derek, you are not as blameless as you consider yourself to be, you have been the main reason the club has flourished in tha last few years, but try being the leader with a little humility instead of being so brash, it's nice to be nice!
