I wouldn't go that far, Doug Hoyle got us the ground nobody else.

That explains the guys devine right to swan around like he owns the joint, make woefully inaccurate claims in the press and generally talk absolute nonsense.

The amount of council involvement in the club also isn't healthy if you ask me.

Incidentally can I just state that Tony Smith is definitely NOT the man for Warrington after what happened at the World Cup.

We need to go for the RIGHT man for this job and not just a name certain board members might think is the top man. I hope they have learned their lesson from signing the 'best centre in the world', Matt King.

Hanley might be a option but I wonder if he is still current enough in his methods and wonder how long he would be prepared to stick around.

If you are referring to Martin Gleeson I think a much more accurate description would be former world class centre.

Think his lifestyle choices ruined him tbh.

Which would suggest that he used to be World Class, which is what he was when SM funded the transfer!

Yes and it was there in black and white in the report. Or are you saying that the public enquiry process was corrupt?

Please explain to me how Doug Hoyle single-handedly got the stadium project passed. I genuinely want to hear this.

I totally agree, Tony Smith is not the right man for us.

We do indeed need a Hanley type coach, a strict discliplinarian who wont tolerate the alcoholism and general poor discipline that has plagued this club for decades.

If Hanley would commit himself completely then the board should get him in and support him 110%.

If not then we need to unearth another coach of a similar vein.

I beg to disagree, Saints recognised this guys failings and used the 'betting affair' as an excellent excuse to offload the troubled star.

Looking back Saints well and truly had our pants down and were laughing all the way to the bank.

The signing of Gleeson must surely go down as one of the biggest failures that this club has witnessed and it cost us (Moran) £150k

Geordies comments on cover ups and disciplinary issues could be linked to what I have said, no?

I don't think anyone at all is questioning how good Simon Moran is for the club or how commited he is, the man is a fan first and foremost who put his money where his mouth was when we where in the poop.

I think LatchfordWolvesFan is. Which, frankly, I find absolutely staggering.

Im not saying he's bad for the club but he could run it a lot better.

You did. You said:

The sooner he goes the better, he's just a fan with lots of money, he now's nothing about Rugby League.

That is of course unless you meant something different by 'the sooner he goes the better'.
