| Quote Hangerman2="Hangerman2"The effort last night was poor, but to be honest, the effort in most games has been good, we just have a very poor team of journeymen, plodders, and young promise. As i said earlier, if you reflect on most matches this season we have relied on penalties or errors to get into attacking positions, when we are in the 'arm-wrestle' of gaining territory, we lose to virtually every team out there (London aside). On squad strength i put us 11th in the league, although it's a toss up between us and Hull KR for that 11th spot, we simply need better players in key positions to be competitive.'" .
while i agree with much of this I'm not convinced that the main problems at the club don't start higher than on the field, and while i am extremely grateful to Mr Davy for what he has done, he is the place where the buck stops, He is the only man who can change things and he appears to have been happy to let things go along getting lower and lower and it's something that has mystified me for a long time, It is however his club to run how he sees fit so we can just hope things will eventually turn round, but i wont be holding my breath on that one.

| Quote jools="jools"I’ve heard from someone in attendance that Ken Davy made an emotional speech after the game tonight. Talking about the fact he’s spent a small fortune on the club and if what happened tonight happens again he is walking away. Left the room in silence.
I can’t blame him. I’m not likely to go to another game this season given I miss a home game due to holiday and I don’t justify the huge cost for us to go to an away game to be disappointed.
Sobering thoughts.'"
told you before and others, we go down and we dont have a club anymore to support.

Fully agree with you Jo. Ken has allowed this to happen now for far too long and you have to question his ambition for the club since we won silverware. Thewlis especially seems to get away with murder with Ken due to being a family friend.

| Instead of sacking thewlis, which Ken won't do, surely we should go down the route other clubs have and sign a director of rugby to take the recruitment from him?

How can you take away something he doesn’t have?

Wake up you deluded moron, who do you think hands out the long contracts?
Who has final approval on who comes in ?
Who hires and fires people?
Jesus what do you think he actually does?
Cue your usual response
Past coaches have all said they do recruitment
They ask for players he either says yes or no, he then negotiates a deal, a lot of times he brings players that either one the coach doesn’t want or two someone the coach doesn’t even know, 3 yr deal for butterworth, Woodford had no idea who he was

I’m not even going to bother reading your rant. You lost my respect after the first 5 words and I stopped reading at that point.
No point discussing anything with someone who thinks the way to win a debate is to throw personal comments. Grow up.

Thewlis does have more involvement than you think Jools. I know about an academy player who they have refused to release to take up a contract in RU immediately even though we haven't offered him one yet. The lads parents offered to pay out the remaining months of his contract too.
I also know that Woolford didn't have a clue about Butterworth, that was all Thewlis.
If Thewlis wasn't a friend of Kens, he would have been fired by now.
