In fairness he's had it tough and though I'd agree sacking him just for the sake of it would be pointless.

Look at Wolves! Sacked Micm McCarthy only to find out no-one wants the job!

If we knew someone like Noble was keen then yes or even if Cullen had support to take over. But still the chap deserves a few games to change things around.

A lot of people said 'give him a chance, fresh slate etc' start of the season but that's been thrown out of the window by most already.

after 3 games played & no relegation....yeah right.
If I was the chairman, I would give Betts 1 full season, then take it from there.

Think its our 8 staight loss, take away injuries and players still to play, not seen any improvements and there his players hes signed and better players was available! with wakefeilds in the same position new coach and new players with a bit of direction which i said 3 months ago id put Paul cullen in charge till end of season sorry but got to be Ruthless it is a Buisness after all and well loose our support along the way too so Strike why the Irons Hot !

Warrington sacked lowes after 3 games and replaced him with smith

The rest they say is history

Warrington already had a very good squad that was underachieving when Tony Smith was appointed. Hardly the same case scenario.

If Dennis has been restricted to cash flow I don't know, but one things for sure it takes a very special coach to stop the rot !

A coach with good credentials will attract better players.What has Betts achieved in coaching?Rugby Union pay more and if he was that good of a defensive coach he would have stayed at Gloucester.

Haven't you got your own to sort out?

I think Wakefield were in a far worse position to prepare for this season. Widnes had a good 2 month extra preparation than us, that’s a hell of a long time extra when it comes to recruitment. In fact come franchise decision day I think we were more prepared for playing out the following season for the Championship.

you'd be better off without need a top british coach like noble or daryl powell and give time to build a team or you could do what every club does lately and appoint some aussie nobody's heard of and have a matt parish situation lol

The only thing is if Betts stays there won't be any recruitment.
Should Noble come in he'd insist that Cullen goes and he does his own recruitment.
Widnes won't be anywhere near the salary cap limit so hiring a few players should be quite easy, provided they are available.

Or someone like Justin Morgan who did wonders for us at HKR and turned us from a NL side to a side thats regulary competing in the playoffs; and now moving on up and hoping to break into the top 5.

Each to their own my 12 fingered wire friend.

Justin morgan would also be a good shout but a good british coach should be given an opportunity
Noble,Powell, the sheffield coach Mark Aston should get a chance but i would hope a club in SL should give a coach the build his team

Only 3 games into a 3 year licence. Brand new to the comp, quite a few new players with lots of injuries. If you were a top 4 team I would be concerned but I think he needs to be given a fair chance

If Noble did come in he would be doing his own recruitment and Cullen would still be there.

Noble didn't apply for the job last time around but it had nothing to do with the off field structure. He was angling for a job in Australia at the end of the season that never came about.
Any coach coming into Widnes is responsible for identifying players, training and selecting first team players.
