He was "The Future Once"

Actually, he did put together a very competitive squad, in the Keith Freer/Trevor Barton days, when it looked likely that we may fold.

Alan,
Trevor, Keith, and the rest of you guys held the club together. Paul as you rightly say put a competitive team on the pitch. The B.O.M were taking it to the next level in the right manner,
What a pity the club is where it is today !

Agree with you there 'Gutted'. However, that's all history now and we can only hope that something similar comes in again.

As for Paul, I'm not his biggest fan but, to be fair, he worked a miracle that season, with very little to work with. He also coached us off the pitch, in the first Toronto game this season!

You mean when the player's didn't get paid when we got hammered at Fax?

Played a hell of a lot of games for Leigh did Rowley served the club admirably coached through some bad times and yes it ended sourly but who knows whose fault that was.
A lot of people over quite a few years have swallowed Beaumont Bullsh*t now hes left the club high and dry once again.
Like I keep saying never let Leigh RL be owned by one man ever again.
Plus I'd have Rowley back as coach any day of the week.
We took Murphy back we took Millward back....

I really do wonder where some get their versions of reality from, your reply was spot on We took early central money plus season tickets etc then ran out of cash mid season after not only not paying players but with a HMRC winding up order for unpaid tax

Anyone can leave any job if things arnt to their liking , just because you & a few other people dont like it doesnt mean it wasn't right for him & that is all that matters at the end of the day
