One win in 10 derby games in Wigan v Stains whichever side of the fence he was coaching, remember folks I told you this at the time he signed and compared him to Big Franks record against Stains.
All I can say now is come back Frank.

We are still playing far better rugby than we did at the start of the year under Betts, we look alot more confident barring tonights effort, our passing is alot more crisp that it has been, and next year we can only improve, but you go ahead Ian with your petty Millward hatred, we are used to it by now.

Much as I liked big Frank I think the Widnes fans would send him to us in the blink of an eye after his record this year. Give Millward a chance for God's sake, it will be a different story next year.

Dont be silly, the die was cast for Millward before he even joined us as far as Mr Brichall is concerned, he will pick up on anything he can to put either Millward himself down or his record as a coach or his appointment as coach, you just have to learn to either laugh or ignore it.

Gimble, but any true Wigan supporter will tell you that the only matches which you must win are those against Stains!

True! and I shall happily decline his kind invitation to pour a further £295 into the Wigan pot next year and each subsequent year until he meets the fate of all coaches but you are wrong in what you say ChrisA I still am a Wigan supporter through and through, see you at Huddersfield next Sunday and at Perpignan next season!

I know some will take that view but me id rather win trophies than beat the Saints. Winning trophies is what counts and being No1. and at this moment they are. And might i add a team build by a certain Ian Milward

If we won everything next season some will always complain. Human nature i guess. Problem is he set Saints on there most successful era. What some needs to see past is the fact he was Saints coach.
Seems some on here will be happier if we fail next season and Sack IM rather than winning any trophies.
