I am not trying to put forward an i told you so attitude if he fails, it's just a opinion of one very disapointed old school fan.I think you will find i am not alone too.

I agree - I know hes not everyone's 1st choice (including me), but now that he's been appointed, all we can do is give him the support and see how it goes.

I was with you initially 1977 before the appointment, in fact if you knew me personally would be well aware of my stance with all things Wire. Widnesian through and through. If you came to my house you'd think you were in the Museum with all the Widnes stuff I have.





However, I think that if we want him to do well then we need to wipe the slate clean and judge him with performances on the pitch. If I am taking a narrow view all we need to do is reach win two semi-finals in a row since according to the "rules" (and I use that term liberally) the teams in the 2009 and 2010 finals are eligible for SL. I don't think 2011 final counts as the decison will have been made. (I stand corrected). Theoretically if we do that based on those "rules" then potentially there are only two other sides which can challenge us for an SL spot. Very much an elimination process on that basis.



Anyway, If I'm looking long term and doing a Paul Terzis (i.e. beyond

) he has attracted the Johns's of this world to SL (backed by money) and if he can do that when we get back in SL then I'm a happy bunny. I just hope that he has learnt from his mistakes as Warrington coach particulary on the discipline side. I'd be very worried if we brought Briers in, not a rumour just an opinion. He was always out on the in the Chapel House much to the annoyance of PC.



Like it or lump it we have him and the best we can do is give the man our support.

Average of 6th position in 6 SL seasons.Not bad going that.

I think we'd all be fairly happy with that in the short term GSF.. nice digging around!

He's got to get us out of NL1 first!



I hope he goes well for us, christ knows we need a break now. I'm just not prepared to set myself up for another fall..

He's got to get us in a qualifying position for a franchise application first.After that, it's out of his hands.

I for one, hope he does well for you guys, after playing all my rugby in widnes, and being a loyal Wire fan since i can remember, i have a silent interest in hoping you guys get back to SL. We want our derbys back! Cull will do well for you, and as has been said, he is an excellent PR man, which is always a good thing. Have faith guys, SL beckons....

give him a fortune to buy world class players. and he will turn them into

average players.

like he did at wire.





but to see a wire in widnes tracksuit.priceless

Boring, change the record.

Who do/did you play for?

He will want to prove that we wrong to get rid and will have a bit of a chip on his shoulder, I think he will be more focused and he has some good talent to work with at Widnes and players he knows, he has a club with a great tradition and good fanbase, if he get's it right you will grow to love him, I understand why some of you have your doubts though.
