| Criticism and scathing at that was totally justified, he brought the club to a point that fans were against each other due to his incompetence, fans were leaving in their droves, saying they'd not come back. Hardened fans don't say things like that without a reason.
His continual line that it was everbody elses fault and not admit he was failing was sickening to hear/read especially the bit about the fans, in fact he actually continued on in this vein in his interview shown yesterday, he couldn't bring himself to say yes, actually I wasn't up to scratch, I made a lot of mistakes when questioned about the last few years under his stewardship, nope he continued to point the finger elsewhere.
Do i regret putting up a petition, not in the slightest, as I said, it wasn't anything serious, it was just me saying what I wanted to say to the club, it was obviously read and of that I'm glad, it tells them that I and other were not happy with the way our club was going.
Do I regret saying he was a turd of a coach, nope, because at that juncture he was fooking awful and taking us backward at a rate of knots with uninspiring rugby. If just one jot of criticism by fans has an effect in the way LR and the AP think about how they are going about things and change something for the better then that criticism has worked as a positive, if not then it is just fans letting off steam because they at that time are frustrated with how cack things were with no sign of change.
Does LR deserve the plaudits for changing things around, absolutely, I don't think a single person has not given praise and mentioned the turn around which with a little dose of luck and a vastly improved squad over anything we've had for years has gotten us to where we are.
That in itself is not being a 'bandwaggoner' or two faced or a hypocrite or even been wrong, the happy clappers post tripe and think they are untouchable with their bully tactics on the forum, fans should never fear to post criticism on this forum but the forum becomes a den of the downright disgusting behaviour by certain posters whom can't wait to jump on anyone that says something not in line with their singular/blinkered viewpoint.
Well done LR, you achieved the goals I personally saw as a minimum expectation, you turned the clubs fortunes around (ATM at least) and saved your career.
If we win nothing come the end of the season how will fans feel toward things, a question i posed a few months back? Will the massively raised expectation have a negative effect IF we come away with nothing?

He'd have to be talked about in glowing terms, but for me to be as reveared as AB he would have to back it up and keep backing it up over a few seasons like Arthur did. Though given we only won the title once under Arthur and the Challenge Cup only once that may be harsh. There was far more to aim for in the 80s and with the benefit of hindsight all these years later we greatly under performed in the 80s given the talent we had.

| If we loose the CC don't get to Old Trafford and start poorly next year peoples attitudes will change quickly. I think we need to remember how good this season has been regardless of what happens from now.

This is a nail on head comment.
Too many lament to the early 80's when in reality we won 3 trophies of note (League, CC and JPS), yes there were 3 Yorks Cups, but that cannot be considered a major competition.
We also choked badly on many finals (CC - 80, 83, 85), JPS (85), Premiership (81, 82, 83).
At that time we have spent massively on domestic and overseas players yet still never dominated the sport like Wigan did just a few years later.
