Some of the usual suspects on here who lauded Hodgsons arrival now the most vociferous in wanting him out.
Same old, same old.

The guy is just so out of his depth it’s laughable. Not sure what Purtill brings other than a dismal record of failure and looking mardy. Whoever is responsible for our S&C must have won a prize or be employed on some sort of government scheme.

Pearson binned all the money into us winning two cups and falling short of the grand final. Now he’s not coughing up anymore, and he’ll surely find neither are the fans next season. No doubt there’ll be seven shirts and four training ranges to squeeze a few bob out of the true believers to make up for it.

When did he fail exactly ? You clearly are not familiar with championship rugby league (obviously) but in each of Keiron's stints at Leigh & Widnes, the respective owners withdrew their financial backing for the remainder of each season. Players went AWOL due to not being paid, and in Leigh's final game of the 2018 season we had to borrow 7 academy players from Wigan & Saints just to fulfil the fixture.

Heard a whisper off someone that Hodgson is gone.

Same person who's been right about a few things.

Pearson needs to be quick in announcing his replacement if true

Heard the same last night. I’ve really wanted it to work for Brett and have stuck up for him a good few times but no coming back from that yesterday.

Just hope If it is true that Purtill will be on his way too.

Sounds like a bit of a jinx, unless he's just unlucky.

As I said somewhere earlier. Next week could be interesting

Pretty sure Hodgson is not the main problem although we cant be sure he is up to the job till things improve with backroom staff and players. Both main assistant coaches do not seem capable. I am particularly disappointed with Gaz who has been great for our club but as a defence coach appears to be terrible. Attack is good on odd occasions but very slow and poor on others. Obviosly the injuries and bans dont help which also points the finger at the backroom setup. There is no communication with the fans and Pearson/Clarke just sit back and say bu??er all. Pearson (if he is still here next season needs to prepare for yet another massive financial hit). The fans forums dissapeared ages ago and this just creates loads of the moaners to putting forward their made up stories with nothing being refuted and many people believing their crap. I realise that Pearson and the club must be in a terrible financial position but they MUST COME FORWARD AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE FANS ON A REGULAR BASIS BE HONEST and fans will appreciate that and back you otherwise the situation will only get much worse and the fan base with dwindle substatially again next year. I would love to have the opportunity to air my views face to face but obviously theres no chance of that
