The success of any organisation comes from the very top and works it’s way down.

It’s now way beyond time that the current board of directors grew a pair and sorted this crap out.

Fitzpatrick, Powell and his team along with some of the players (who have been taking the absolute ) need to be shown the door.

Replace with proven winners and professionals or just give it up and let someone else do it.

...take their money out of the club too?

Yeh it was less stressful when we had nothing back in Wilderspool days. Everything we have now massively raised expectations and we have been pretty much poor except the Cup wins. Use to go to games not expecting anything and was a bigger buzz when we won especially against Wigan.

What’s the point putting so much of your personal wealth into the club and letting incompetent losers like Fitzpatrick and Powell completely waste it?

We’ve gone backwards since Price left and we were no great shakes then either.

The board need to wake up and start taking it seriously by hiring professional winners in the key positions.

The players need to take a good hard look at themselves too. They’ve done a job on Powell today… which is absolutely shameful.

Having seen some of the highlights from the mess that is today, I am wondering whether some players thought they were in a touch game in defence.

Fair play to Stuart Middleton for speaking out in the Guardian today.

Respect to him and SM for putting their money into the club and for funding the Academy tour to Oz.

I’m sure they are gutted about what’s happened, as we all are.

Let’s hope lessons are learned and we can get the success we all want.

So the board are coming in for a lot of flak for supposed meddling etc. DP was given carte blanche by the sounds of it and a good 18 months and he’s made an absolute hash of it. The board have invested heavily in the academy and are clearly hell bent on getting that right, reading between the lines I think they’re disappointed in Powell’s treatment of some of the youngsters. Yes he gave a few a go but was too afraid to call on them during tough times. I mean it really is poor to say he couldn’t drop two middles when there were youngsters available…..we may have lost but not by 42-6.

I’m really glad he’s gone.

Quote ="Boss Hog"Here you go :- https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... departure/'" Middleton basically says Powell was responsible for bad recruitment and had the final say. I’m sorry Stuart but what about Inglis, Latu, Roberts, Burrell, Tasi, England etc.

If I was the journalist I would have perhaps been tempted to ask what happened at the time of the implosion around the McGuire incident.

So Yeh Fitzpatrick has made mistakes but he is passionate and cares lmao if that is a requisite for getting a job then we can all be CEO.

"It was all Daryl's fault". Nothing to see here.

Would love to know his opinion of that interview, doubt he would respond but I’m sure he would have something interesting to say.

His pay-off is bound to include a clause forbidding Powell from speaking to the Media about his tenure at Warrington.

Nothing particularly surprising here really. There’s a lot of truth here, the coach is responsible for the under-performance of the players, which is fair given the final call on the recruitment of players and assembled this team.

On Fitzpatrick, he’s almost agreeing with the vast majority on here in that he has skills in certain areas. We have sighted social media as a particular strength, but Middleton goes deeper into it by explaining his relationships with stakeholders and sponsors. All important parts of the CEO. There is still the yawning gap in the Director of Rugby role in my opinion.

I’m sure Powell would sight flaws in the club, likely to be Fitzpatrick and the board through to the resilience of the fanbase.

Probably the 4th or 5th best supported club in northern hemisphere RL?

Not doubting the numbers, but when things aren’t going well it’s not a nice place to be. Don’t get me wrong, there has been sufficient justification for the boo’s and hostility over the past 18 months, but that atmosphere doesn’t affect positive change, probably makes people more risk averse too. The counter of that is that support is earned, and it hasn’t been recently.

I would think a few of our recently departed players would have something to say about their time at the Wire.

Probably that they were handsomely paid for minimal effort.

Sadly, they had to recruit and pay for additional staff to help run their businesses since their new clubs insist on them attending all training sessions for the full duration.

Look forward to the book when it comes out in a few years.
