Millward's St Helens career also ended controversially after he was suspended pending a disciplinary hearing in May 2005. He was sacked for gross misconduct a week later, his offences including three incidences of foul and abusive language: to a club employee, the Warrington Wolves' press officer and a fourth official at a match against Bradford. St Helens also claimed that Millward lied to an RFL disciplinary hearing and distorted the truth about the club's sale of Gleeson to Warrington in 2004.

Within a fortnight, Millward was at Wigan as head coach above Denis Betts. He had a difficult start with the Warriors, losing a Super League match 70-0 to Leeds and, more humiliatingly, a Challenge Cup tie at St Helens 75-0. Wigan ended the season seventh in the Super League, missing out on the play-offs for the first time in the competition and club's history.

After a disastrous start to the 2006 Super League, Ian Millward was relieved of his duties as head coach of Wigan Warriors on 11 April, 2006. During this time, a combination of poor performances and injuries to key players had seen the Wigan Warriors slump to bottom of the engage Super League.

Yeah, this situation is screaming out for the sort of quick-fix Maurice and Dave tried back in 2005.

bri mac would be a good replacement, seems a no nonsense discipline kind of coach with plenty of history with the club from his northern/ bulls days, with some decent coaching staff instead of this shower of s**te we have at the moment

And why would he leave Quins? For the megabucks we'd be offering him?

And you would pay them how, precisely? Given you'd have spent the coaching budget paying off the existing staff...

I know what Quins can be and I suspect he does too.
