he has performed jesus like miracles at blackpool, and was the brains behind the promotion push and when he left the assistant's post we certainly went backwards.


CROMPO for me as well!!

Please explain these Jesus like miracles?


He's assembled a decent enough squad for this year but is totally unproven, he was a good player for us your correct in that but he remains unproven as a coach.

To be honest though Pepe is there a great deal of difference between say Cullen and Jon Sharpe?



Any coach that we employ next will most likely be out of work because they have either been sacked or left a club of there own accord ie Hanley.


A tough choice to make and im glad it isnt me on the panel choosing.

Yes.

Jon Sharp was able to create a well organised side with a lot less funds than Cullen had.

That's what Widnes need. A coach who can organise the team. A John Kear type coach with a great tactical acumen, who can spot a good player at a reasonable price and work with what he has. We shouldn't be bringing in coaches because they have a reputation of getting big name stars to throw the ball around. Any fool can do that.



I think Jon Sharp is the closest thing, who may possibly be available, that can do that.

Steve O'Connor has said they haven't been looking for anyone yet, and will be going through a selection process when they do. He also said he's in no rush to replace Ste Mac. So I doubt anyone has been approached at all.

'Revitalisation' has been going on since last year. We already have an all-round set up that is better most SL clubs. The youth development is programme we now have in place is probably unique in the game and is regarded as ground breaking.

There is nothing Paul Cullen could add to that, except coach a winning senior side. That's all that's missing now. The only question is, can Paul Cullen do that?

Personally I have my doubts.

Nothing else to improve off the field, things are perfect in less than a year.

What could he improve, other than on the field, first team performance?

Do you even know what has been going on at the club since SOC arrived?

No one is perfect, but I'd say off the field we are approaching being a match for anyone.

Andy Greg or Jon Sharp.

Bring back Dougie Laughton!
