I heard that too and totally understand his feelings. If that's not enough for players, coaches, backroom staff and fans to give everything from now on I don't know what is. He is a true legend of Fartown. Never mind Wagstaff etc... without Ken Davy there would be no club, there would have been no trophies, no memories. We all owe Ken the upmost respect and anyone at the club who isn't prepared to dig deep and fight to avoid relegation should stay at home this morning. I assume Ken/Richard and Simon have called everyone in to have this out. Now is the time for those who are up for the challenge.

The effort last night was poor, but to be honest, the effort in most games has been good, we just have a very poor team of journeymen, plodders, and young promise. As i said earlier, if you reflect on most matches this season we have relied on penalties or errors to get into attacking positions, when we are in the 'arm-wrestle' of gaining territory, we lose to virtually every team out there (London aside). On squad strength i put us 11th in the league, although it's a toss up between us and Hull KR for that 11th spot, we simply need better players in key positions to be competitive.

Agree with this 100%. Dread to think where we would be this season without the contributions of our young potential. Bottom really.

I’m off now to watch and support more young potential at Lockwood. They are our future ( and unfortunately our present ATM)

.

while i agree with much of this I'm not convinced that the main problems at the club don't start higher than on the field, and while i am extremely grateful to Mr Davy for what he has done, he is the place where the buck stops, He is the only man who can change things and he appears to have been happy to let things go along getting lower and lower and it's something that has mystified me for a long time, It is however his club to run how he sees fit so we can just hope things will eventually turn round, but i wont be holding my breath on that one.

told you before and others, we go down and we dont have a club anymore to support.

well maybe be like batley playing at lockwood part time

right now we need leaders and fighters on the pitch

lawrence and murphy fit into that bracket

so does cudjoe

most of the salary cap is sat in the stands ...

why was mellor playing lastnight?? could have put hewitt in..another youngster, cant be any worse than mellor

Hewitt is away on Loan

Fully agree with you Jo. Ken has allowed this to happen now for far too long and you have to question his ambition for the club since we won silverware. Thewlis especially seems to get away with murder with Ken due to being a family friend.

yeh id have had him in for mellor weeks ago.

Instead of sacking thewlis, which Ken won't do, surely we should go down the route other clubs have and sign a director of rugby to take the recruitment from him?

How can you take away something he doesn’t have?

Wake up you deluded moron, who do you think hands out the long contracts?
Who has final approval on who comes in ?
Who hires and fires people?
Jesus what do you think he actually does?

Cue your usual response
Past coaches have all said they do recruitment

They ask for players he either says yes or no, he then negotiates a deal, a lot of times he brings players that either one the coach doesn’t want or two someone the coach doesn’t even know, 3 yr deal for butterworth, Woodford had no idea who he was

I’m not even going to bother reading your rant. You lost my respect after the first 5 words and I stopped reading at that point.
No point discussing anything with someone who thinks the way to win a debate is to throw personal comments. Grow up.

Thewlis does have more involvement than you think Jools. I know about an academy player who they have refused to release to take up a contract in RU immediately even though we haven't offered him one yet. The lads parents offered to pay out the remaining months of his contract too.

I also know that Woolford didn't have a clue about Butterworth, that was all Thewlis.

If Thewlis wasn't a friend of Kens, he would have been fired by now.

this is a first!
