There are aspects of this that I agree with and many that I don’t.
Lack of innovation and vision I disagree with wholeheartedly. We played a SL in Sydney, we’re playing in Barcelona, we took a game to London. We have new corporate sponsors and have Central Park and Robin Park. There is very obvious innovation and strategic vision.
Fans taken for granted and half ar5ed? I’m not sure what that means?
I see things differently I suppose. Since IL bought the club he’s been incredible for us. It was he that identified and brought in Madge and that’s when the fortunes of the club really turned round for the better. His policy of investing in youth has clearly paid off.
It was time for Shaun Wane to go. We enjoyed success but as with most things, he reached the end of his shelf life.
Make no mistake about it, Edwards was nailed on to be our next coach. There was no smoke and mirrors or publicity stunt, he was our next coach and the whole circus around him is entirely his doing. The chairman is not at fault, regardless of what has been said publicly.
Still, we need to freshen things up. Starting immediately with the appointment of our new coach (hopefully Lammy) and some clarity around succession planning.

I need some more information before I agree with how innovative we’ve been. The Millwall game and Hull game, what were the actual benefits to us? Playing home games ‘away’ is not innovative but insulting to a home fanbase but I appreciate that is my opinion. Do we ‘have’ Robin Park as I thought from limited info available we were selling our asset at Orrell and trading in for rent at Robin Park! I’m highly concerned about the lack of assets on the balance sheet and is this a pre-cursor to Lenegan turning his lot in for someone else? I was supportive of Lenegan in what he did after the Whelan years but there has been a tail off in what people perceive to be his focus on what’s going on at the club. Crowds massively down, poorly managed release of information which is something his regime has actually been much better at. With regards to Lam as the coach going forward, I’d just like a proper and thorough recruitment process and not just some charity case of a decision to give it because he’s already here.
