Re: Maybe a Protest

I think that everyone at the club is well aware of what the fans think. The constant booing at matches is a pretty strong hint. Plus ex-players are now voicing their discontent at the situation.
Millward, whatever he may say to the press, knows that the situation cannot continue and is feeling the pressure. If we lose both games to the wildcats, conceed a three figure score against stains or hit the bottom of the table then he knows that he won't survive much longer and his career will probably be in ruins. It's one thing to be fired for abusive language or chasing cheerleaders - however it is another thing entirely to take a team that were predicted to finish 4th in the table and get them relegated.
His contract with Wigan is a big one - if he is fired he will not get another one like it anytime soon and whilst he may not end up driving a taxi - his options will be severely limited. It is very unlikley that his contract will be paid up if they fire him - as the club could claim gross negligence (and on the back of our results - what court in the land would disagree).
Whilst a protest would be theraputic for the fans; I don't really think that it would make any real difference - unless it involved staying away from games. DW is a business man and the only way to hurt him is by hitting his pocket - however I can't see Wigan fans staying away - it just won't happen
