Redundancy

[JARJAR]

Firstly I apologise for the length of this post.
I am still shell shocked by the performance of the team last night but now feel this is turning to anger against the club that I have supported for over 30 years.I have recently been made redundant from my job which I have had for the last 22 years not because I did something wrong nor through any lack of effort or commitment on my part but purely because of the global economic downturn.
What really is getting to me is that people at the club and in which I include The Coach,the Players and all the training staff are prepared to take my hard earned money each week have the gall to frequently show such a lack of commitment nor even the basic abilities to do which what is when all said and done a fairly simple task each week.I have even greater difficulty in accepting the weekly excuses that are being given by the club ie Mr Noble over why we did not perform - I'm afraid the buck stops with him - it's his choice of players and his choice of tactics including who he brings on and off during the course of a match.Others posts have highlighted our lack of creativity on the park and with which I entirely agree.Whatever Mr Noble achieved at Bradford and in his first season here is now history we must look to the future and unfortunately all that I can see is continued sporadic performances with no prospect of us mounting a sustained challenge to winning trophies.This season is over and we should look to change things now.I know from personal experience that redundancy is harsh but if you can't do the job or you don't perform to the required standards then you should not be surprised to be made redundant.If Mr Lenagan listens to the fans he will know that after last night things must change.


PS Mickey Higham was the only one (and even he wasn't faultless)last night who showed any pride in the shirt -so why are we determined to get rid of him.

Absolutely right JarJar. Watching Wigan doesn't come for free. As a fee paying customer you should expect - no, demand - value for money. Loyalty comes second and is for free but, it is a two way transaction. The team have got to earn it.

Agree JarJar and hope you find a job soon...

higham was one of our better players along with Fielden IMO he did aCTUALLY SEEM P***ed off at points.

Our club is the best off the field - a laughing stock on it

Thanks ancientnloyal I can tell you this I will not stop looking for work not like that lot last and night (and on too many other occasions) who can not/will not work.They should come and join me at Brocol House next wednesday and see what hurt pride means ,but no doubt Nobby will have them at the stables trying to get them on the horse.

Once we get on the horse we can group up with the kings men to humpty together again.


Thats the problem! if we have horses we can help the King

This post should be named "Sacking" my friend: You don't get made redundant because you can't do your job, that happens when your job no longer exists.

However, pedantry aside, we must sack the yorkshire bugger

I wonder if the recruitment policy of the club will ever work. We had Barrett for three years (in theory) and now we get Smith for 18 months. Riddle is here for three seasons.

It should have been pretty easy to retain Higham and while people wil say he isn't good enough or as good as Riddle well in three seasons we need a new hooker and there is no guarantees it will be McIllorum.

If you look at Leeds and Saints key players such as Diskin, Burrows and McQuire who have been there ages. We seem to think giving players three year contracts is as good a way to work. These contracts don't even run in over the same three years so the players see changes in key positions in even less than 3 years if you see what I mean.

When we were last successful we had players like Edwards, Farrell and Radlinski in key positions for a long time.

People focus on the turnover of coaches saying its bad to change them so quickly. I think they are barking p the wrong tree. It's the turnover in players in key positions that is the problem IMO.

You are correct Dave, if you look at Leeds and Saints their teams have consistency in the main positions and that is what brings them success
