My mistake.

Re: Taxi For Millward : Sat Mar 30, 2013 11:15 am  

[quote="littlerich"]Yeah, no-one had ever heard of him when he turned up asking for a job. With no track record the board took the brave decision to listen to his lies about having been some kind of RL coach.

Lol.[/quote]

Like the Cas fans have been listening to the BOD lies over the years

At some point he must have had something about him to do all this:

Under Millward, St Helens retained their Super League title in 2000 and won it again in 2002. They also won the Rugby League Challenge Cup in 2001 and 2004 and the World Club Challenge in 2001. In 2001 Millward was named Super League Coach of the Year.(Wiki.)

That's not to say that he's a roaring success elsewhere but he DID have a proven track record, albeit with one club. Not too shabby. So, you can't sack him for lying about his skills, although I appreciate you were stretching the humour.

Can the club afford to sack? How long's he got on his contract?

I could have coached that St helens side, he inherited it from Ellery hanley and Sean Mcrae
In my opinion he is a disrespectful man, who does not desrve to be in the psition he is in.

As I have posted before, he had inherited that side, he had the financial backing of his Chairman (who incidentally sacked him for gross miscoduct), it is like comparing Alex Ferguson with Neil warnock.

If they can't afford to sack him outright, put him on gardening leave and let Orr take the rest of the season, citing that his presence at the club is counter-productive to what they are trying to achieve (this is a valid reason for putting someone on gardening leave).

Can't you keep him on till after the magic weekend?

Well, could have fooled me about his recent history in the top divisions!

Terrible record at Wigan, even worse at North Queenland and just look at what he's done at Cas.

You know things are bad when he's making Terry Matterson look brilliant.

I'm mystified as to how he could be accused of lying when all his results as a Coach are in the public domain. Surely it's the BOD who appointed him who have been grossly irresponsible?
