Sack Betts and Cullen : Fri Apr 20, 2012 9:24 pm  
These clowns are ruining our club by talking bullshit every week.We are the worst team ever after 12 rounds with -401 points, and conceeded 562 points is a big joke.Rather be in the Championship than watch this crap every week.No fight or care, and they are stealing money off our fans.Why does Ste O Connor not smell the coffee and listen to the fans?I want a petition and Banners to get rid of these idiots now.

You are in the SL for 3 years - Nobody expected miracles in the first season - indeed some performances have been way above expectations - be patient and build.

I can't believe this witch hunt certain Widnes 'fans' have regarding their coach.

'Vikings' fans surely had unrealistic expectations about this season. You were never going to be competing with the top clubs like Saints or Wire, and you've got a couple of wins so far.

Looking at the playing and coaching career of Denis Betts, it's clear this guy has the word 'quality' stamped all over him. Get behind him.

How is Betts a quality coach??? Me thinks your trolling , personally I'd love the Cullen/Betts duo in charge of Wigan .. in fact I'd even donate to the fundraiser to make it happen :lol:

Well WireThunder if you think Betts and Cullen are good coaches take them off our hands.They are awful and results dont lie.So we have spent £1.4 million and Fev £300,000 in the Championship and they competed well with Castleford by beating them.We struggled in the Championship with these men in charge so what you expect from our fans.hardly posts on here as fans are now vexed off.If lose by 20 or 30 points then lose i can cope but not by this much.Wakefield have competed better, and they started from scratch with 16 new players.Powell or Noble to improve things even if lose games.

Nobby would be a good choice for Widnes I think.

No doubt Betts, Cullen & co are doing there best for the club but maybe its time to move on to a more super league proven coach for next season,Noble, Kear, Millward, Powell.

I don't really think it matters who coaches Widnes tbh.

A 62-0 drubbing by the worst Saints side since SL started says it all.

With a squad like that they was always going to find the going extremley tough in SL. They just don't have any quality. Brian Noble wouldn't take that job in a million years,no matter how much Widnes used to be a big club.

They were promoted with no winning mentality or momentum after finishing in the bottom half of the co-operative Championship,and it's showing.
