Let him sign the contract first then you can pay that up before sending him back

When is he going to start promoting the local merger hes been spouting about.

Glad you have him and not us. Dont rate the guy TBH. He was a top choice for Wakey if the rumours are correct bt again I am very pleased he chose you.

Would probably have had the same (mixed) reaction had Basil been announced FC's new coach.

FWIW I think the odds are that this will prove to be another excellent appointment to follow TM.

Best wishes for 2012, Cas are as you know all FC supporters second favourite team.

Bad move for the cas faithful i think, the guys full of himself, smug, arrogant and a complete A-hole, you only have to read Sean Longs book to to see his discapline with his players isn't very good. Training then off round the bars at Xscape anyone???????

Millward has forgotten more than Terry Matterson will ever know about RLyou don't have to believe me just wait till the end of next season and see where you finish and i guarentee it will be a lot higher than this season

Re: Confirmed - Its Millward next year : Wed Aug 31, 2011 11:51 pm  

Rubbish! Millward played at school level then his career ended cause of injury in 83, how can you say he's forgotten more than Matterson knows?

Re: Confirmed - Its Millward next year : Thu Sep 01, 2011 12:00 am  

Do you have to have played at the top level to be a good coach? Wayne Bennett? Typical Yarkshire strong inth arm weak int Yed!

Re: Confirmed - Its Millward next year : Thu Sep 01, 2011 5:56 am  

So Wayne Bennett didn't play at the top?

He has done ok at Leigh, but then Dave Woods and TM kicked ass in the championship at Cas so that doesn't prove much. But if you look at his last 2 top division teams.

North Queensland Cowboys - Played 14 won 2
Wigan - Played 12 won 3.

Wow! Great stats. Add to that his verbal diarrhoea (causing his sacking from Saints) and his constant bashing of Cas in his column and the Cas should merge with Wakefield rant and it doesn't paint a good picture.

His only saving grace is his policy on youth.

North Queensland he took over someone elses team amidst mid-season turmoil.
Wigan-took over from a Dennis Betts team-enough said.
