Looks like it according to Vikingman.

I bet they come in for NK.

I never thought Widnes was more fickle then us.
If true sacking your coach after one defeat?

No it's not one defeat, as Leigh well know SM has underacheived with the players he has had for 3 years now. We're not fickle.

And I very much doubt we'd go for Ned, and I doubt he'd leave a secure job at Leigh for a job at Widnes anyway.

Why keep him on after last year, to sack him after one game?

McCormack Leaves Vikings
Widnes Vikings have this morning parted company with Head Coach Steve McCormack.

Vikings' Chief Executive Alex Bonney said, "Since joining the Club twelve months ago I cannot fail to be impressed with the work undertaken by Steve who almost single handedly built a team from scratch to reach the play offs. Prior to this he led the Club to two Grand Finals and a Northern Rail Cup victory and this morning's decision was reached amicably."

Steve McCormack added, "It's a disappointing day but I have really enjoyed my time at Widnes. The Club has suffered many ups and downs both on and off the field and I hope that eventually it achieves its goal of a return to the top flight competition"

In the interim, assistant coach John Stankevitch will take over in a caretaker capacity.

Good question, and one that perhaps only Alex Bonney our Chief Exec can answer.

Neil Kelly would be an obvious choice for first appointment, much loved still in the town and he also still visits (and has spoken to Mr O'connor although i think that was a friendly chat). Just depends what size the compo dished out to Leigh is if we go for him. Other than that ill settle for Ellery Hanley.






Love a brew.

Hope the new coach they bring in likes the players that he has at his disposal or they might as well write another season off.
Question marks have got to be asked of the Widnes Heirachy(sp) after this decision. :lol:
