It came from a very good source.

No problems with Rowles as a number 2 i don't know where everyone gets this dislike for him from , Robbie Paul will be an assistant coach coaching the backs!

Millward does want Rowley, well documented when Millward signed.

As for asking Murph to help, sorry and no disrespect to the great man but that was tried a few years ago and we all remember how that turned out (or do we???)

As for todays coaching staff not consulting him I wonder what Murph would have said if back in the 60's they had asked an ex coach to advise him now that would have been treading on a giant ego

Sorry but Murph wasn't a great coach, a great motivator yes but his methods have gone the way of Grammar schools, Railways, Coal Mines, The Cotton Industry and safe driving, all sadly lamented but gone in the myths of time

Just remind me when this was?

when he came back the last time

As coach? Ahh!

i thought you might of been referring to SL as i know for a fact Murph tried his hardest to offer Abram advice on players etc and Abram did not accept although saying that he listened to no one!

A fresh start and a new coach should mean a new set up in many peoples eyes
However it seems that Paul will revert back to assitant coach again.
Just what his skills are in this department are rightly up for questioning as he does appear to have been assistant (or even coach) during a major slide in performances at the club.
Hopefully with Millward things will change for him and more importantly the club.

A few years ago most people whould have been chuffed to bits with a Millward / Rowley combination at Leigh, I think whats soured this is the perception that Leigh must have a coach who already has his assistant picked for him on not 1 but 2 occasions.

I cant say this enough but if ANYONE thinks anyone is giving Ian coaches, players or anything else bar a salary they are CRAZY!

Ian picks the lot!

So either Ian Millward has chosen a very inexperienced assistant coach with a terrible record in the results business or the assistant position has not been filled and is open

with a three year contract in his 'sky rocket' its Paul Rowley, widely reported widely aknowledged why can't some people accept the inevitable.
