Deserves its own thread. Absolutely ecstatic and shocked, thank you to the chairman, nobody can question Hudgell’s ambitions for Rovers after the last couple of weeks business.

Well done to neil,mike smith and all,superb appointment,stay up and things will go from strength to strength,own ground etc.

Time to kick on now (and it sounds like the players have had almost all of this week off!)

Wow. That’s me hopeful again.

Brilliant news.

Rovers have most definitely been in talks with Ford & I notice that Smith has only signed for this season....initially.

But surely if things go well and I expect they will Tony Smith will extend his stay.

Careful - it's hope that kills you.

Tim who? There's only one Tony Smith etc.....

You've got to be happy with this. I think he was in the frame before Tim Sheens was appointed. A man who can lay down a game plan and get his players to perform.

Great coach. Here's hoping he can turn things around quickly.
Good luck to him he's a class act.

He is a very good coach but he wont be able to do it on his own, he'll need some financial backing. Do you have that?

Perhaps he'll be able to tell us how Warrington get around the salary cap!

Well we have considerably more income than Salford, Wakefield Castleford and London to name just 4.

1) Have money
2) Be prepared to spend it

Wow you must of struggled to come up with that one.

Good luck with Tony Smith I hope the new challenge reignites his passion for the game and that goes well for you Over all I enjoyed his time with Wire and glad he's back in the game.

As an aside does anyone on here have the official attendance or a source from our QF Cup game?

Well if he can not save us no one can well done rovers
