I just don’t understand this Powell as saviour of Warrington view from some fans. Sure, he had some success at Cas but over the last couple of years there the teams performance was poor – 17 wins in 2 years which has continued here with 5 this season. He has never won one of the major trophies. He had some success with Cas over ten years ago. The game and players have changed.
So he is the man who is going to lead us to a golden dynasty for the club? If you think so that says more about your faith than judgement. The game has passed him by and he isn’t going to catch up any time soon if at all.
There are many on here slating the players, perhaps some of this is justified, I don’t know I am not close enough to judge, BUT, Powel is the coach. It is his responsibility to get the best from each and every player, to combine together and deliver to the best of their ability, weeding out those who the club can dispense with. His priority is to deliver a winning team consistently from when he arrived and to develop the playing group and standards – skills, attitudes, culture on an ongoing basis for the future. He hasn’t done this. He hasn’t managed the transition from what he started with to how he wants the team to play. His attitude on arrival seems to have been do it my way and not listen to his players.
The team’s performance is getting worse, individual performances are worse, the playing group worse, the culture worse. Next year’s sale of season tickets and sponsorships will be a hard sell. Crowds are down, and we have a Coach who thinks we are in a good position.
Wake up fans, have some guts and say the club got it wrong taking on Mr Powell and his coaching team, they have shown no sign of improving our club, in fact it is getting worse. Directors, shake hands with them bid them goodbye, they may even be relieved to get away if they are honest.
Use internal resources between now until we find a decent up to date coach, this experiment has been and continues to be a disaster.
