It's what in the future that matters and Wire have a golden future. Starting with winning the treble of League Leaders Shield, Challenge Cup and Grand Final this season.

Your more than welcome to come along and cheer on the mighty Wire at Wembley and Old Trafford.


But surely both of your Challenge Cup wins that you gloat about are also in the past :CRAZY:

Do you want me to provide you with a bigger spade :lol:

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Warrington won't win the cup, will not win the LL shield but might win the GF.

Wigan will put the cleaners through Warrington in 2 weeks time big style.

We must agree to differ - the squad was in decline, the CEO doesn't spend any money sorting it, he brings in a cheap coach to undermine the existing one and you wonder why McClennan left?

Get those misty eyes washed.

There's nothing misty eyed at all about it.
You are saying that GH brought Mc in to set up Bluey for a fall yes? :CRAZY:
The squad was in decline and no doubts it needs an over-haul but to say that the CEO was actively setting up a successful coach for a fall is ridiculous and absolutely daft.
I've no doubt Bluey thought enough was enough but this is UFO abduction stuff yer implying mate it makes no sense whatsoever and doesn't do any good for anyone involved so what's the motive and end goal?

GH offered McClennan a one year extension for the 2011 season, swiftly followed by the appointment of McDermott as his deputy for one season to take over in 2012. At best, it was an undermining of McClennan's position at the club... at worst, it was a set-up for McClennan to take the blame for the inevitable fall from grace in 2011.

McClennan is no fool so he left.

McDermott is now the fall guy instead and I suspect that's not what GH intended for 2011.

Meanwhile, all the sycophants will fall in line by berating the current coaching regime.

My view is Hetherington knew the squad wasn't good enough and couldn't/wouldn't get the players in to strengthen. He mistakenly thought he could protect McDermott from the exposure by keeping McClennan in post to take the flack. McClennan has always had Hetherington in his pocket and when he saw he was being set up for a fall and a dint to his reputation he soon stuck two fingers up to GH leaving both coach and CEO in the firing line with what they knew was a poor squad.
