I've seen a tweet saying big news coming out of Widnes soon. #Judas. What's occuring?!
Ryan O'Brien going to wire.
@ringo-bells With Finney?
Makes sense that the club have advertised for an assistant coach.
@viking25 No idea about Finney, O'Brien replacing Tyrone McCarthy in their Scholarship/Academy.
Strange timings again, we've had it in the past with Purtill and Sheens going. This time it's not the coach but the Chief Exec and Assistant coach/performance analyst.
We have just had 4 months of off season and then they leave 3 weeks before the season proper starts at the same time as our first friendly game.
What I would say is does a part time Championship club with little in the way of TV money need a Chief Executive if they have a general manager, a board of directors and an experienced coach who has previously been in a director of rugby position at a SL club?
I'm pleased with Kear and with 10 new players I think we have a decent squad for him to work with.
@mckviking I don't think there's a vision of full time in the foreseeable future !!! Dwindling season ticket sales and a obvious lack of money dictate we are where we are unless a backer steps up
Don't worry, if I win the roll-over Lotto on Wednesday I'll put a few quid in the Club's coffers!
OK, everyone, drum roll - I DID have a win last night.....
Not the big one though - just two numbers so don't get your hopes up yet.
Should the free ticket I won for the next game actually win the big prize - a triple roll over - I'll keep my promise and donate a few extra quid to the club.
No,definitely not.Wigan and Leeds don't even need a chief exec so that rules out part timers in the second division.What I would say is does a part time Championship club with little in the way of TV money need a Chief Executive if they have a general manager, a board of directors and an experienced coach who has previously been in a director of rugby position at a SL club?
Very few jobs work in sequence with the RL calendar! He may be looking for, or have, a new job in the real world!!!
He has teaching qualifications I believe. In any event both who have left can only apply for alternative jobs when they are advertised.
And now I believe a director has left…
Are we sure everything is well with the club?
Which director is this then ?
Filing on companies house confirms this. What was his role on the board anyway?
Didnt think he’d stay long considering his lad hasn’t been at the club for a few years now to be fair

Possibly trying to fill the gap Finney left?
