He who pays the piper calls the time.
I thought the roller coaster was slowing down. Never a dull moment being a Wakey fan.

Calls the tune!

So they’ve sacked him then!
Let’s not bandy words or hide behind semantics, they’ve told him his services as Head Coach are no longer required, so sacked him

Maybe the players who were allegedly disgruntled with the standard of coaching took their bats home mid-season which resulted in the slump and then voiced their concerns to the B.O.D who promised to release Poching and Cummins at the end of the season, so said disgruntled individuals then started playing again ??
Pure speculation on my part obviously but it would explain why the season panned-out like it did

I wonder when WP was told that his contract was not going to be renewed.
If he has been sounding out players for next season which, from his interviews with the media, it seems so, then it seems a very strange decision by the BoD.
Seemingly we are even further behind with plans for next season, initially we were waiting for us to be 'safe' and now we are waiting to appoint a new coach in order to instigate squad plans.

Ah well, anyone know if they've seeded the pitch yet, has the grass started growing? We need something to look forward to.

and the said players then left the club?

If that were the case then we’ve got some real sh!@houses in the playing group

I wonder if someone’s being stabbing him in the back?

Has Miller actually been named at Cas yet ?
Just asking like

It wouldn't be the first time that players used similar tactics to get rid of a coach !!
I may be totally wrong here (and sincerely hope I am), but stranger things have happened.

Well all this following a down beat press release a few weeks back by Carter. makes you wonder if there has been a bust up over the stanadrd of player and money being available to Willie.
End of season and no coach in place and a considerable recruitment drive required, is not an healthy position.

Apparently, Fev are holding a news conference at 5pm............

Sorry but it's a Shambles, even if the club recruit a top level replacement.
CC got 3 season of terrible results and a WP gets 1 season, just don't understand this decision.
The clubs at a critical stage and this desisions totally baf8at this stage.
So is Mr Carter head of recruitment, well I for one bloody hope not.
The problem with the club is Carter it's his club and he couldn't give a stuff about the supporters. Just pay for your ticket and give him a total free hand.
Let's hope he's got a trick or two up his sleeve because if he hasn't he's just dug one hell of a hole for himself.

Just had Danny Maguires name mentioned. Carter seems to like ex HKR coaching staff

True...
Happened lots of time before - only thing is, some of the senior players have left too!


PS Nice new avatar FIL...............

Shocking decision. Poching and Cummins did exactly what was required of them given the resources available. Constant penny pinching makes any coaches job impossible. Carter is the one that should walk, he has run his course here.

Can't help but think this is a mistake.

However, if they have a talented experienced coach coming in, then fair play to the board for wanting to move us forward.
But we are talking about a well established NRL assistant coach or Head coach out of a job......not a Super League assistant with no experience.
We might as well have kept Poching for that, who even with the peaks and troughs is more successful than any other coach in win percentage in decades.

The Maguire who admitted at the end of the season that he realises he wasn’t ready for a head coach role? Sounds about right.

What exactly did the club expect from WP, the players recruited wasn't his.
We far too often play the poor old Wakey card then get rid of a coach just before he's responsibility for recruitment.
SORRY SOMETHING STINKS.

Whilst most of us are surprised at this decision, let's just wait and see who comes in before we throw the baby out with the bath water. MC and JM have steadied this ship since they took over and will be fully aware how crucial next season is with the up-coming seismic changes at the end of the year, so for me we should cut them some slack until the new coaching set-up is announced...you never know we may be pleasantly surprised

(Alternatively...we may not too

)

No he has not been sacked he had a 12 month contract he's fulfilled it he doesn't get a new one that's not being sacked.

******BREAKING NEWS******
Vastman being quoted at 33/1 on RW&B FB page to be next coach!

Maybe Carters found a coach with their own magic money tree?

How very strange.....and Daryl Powell is still in a job !
