Could be the start of the usual May relaxing of restrictions on next year signings, often with an early start to include this season.

Absolute farce tbh clubs and agents touting around for players for next year making a farce of the contract process. Makes any contract just a piece of paper.

Clubs with sugar daddies will be waving their wallets around! Makes a joke of 'club loyalty'.

Well if this is the case then it shows why the performance and morale at the club is going down. All we are seeing is squad depth down to bare bones, and our better players leaving. It is time we had a money person, as it seems all other clubs do apart from Widnes?  Are the charlatans at the club actively looking for new investors because the marketing team is very poor at the club. No posters in Town or engagement to encourage new or old fans back again.

The 'charlatans' at the club are giving more than I can afford, but if you have money to burn just ask, I'm sure you would be welcomed!!!!

We'll have to see what develops, it sounds as if we are making moves of our own.

Disappointing if true but what’s the reason for the excuses of him being sick or his kid being sick for the last few weeks if this is what actually is the situation! Or is it just coincidence 🤨

I have put plenty of money into this club over the past 35 years doing WVIPS, buying merchandise and going many games. Letting Lannon go who is one of our better players to Oldham is not good. Attendances haven't improved and I bought several Pass it on for kids which is doing nothing if only 66 bought it. Me and my mates have contributed 10 of them so obviously the marketing effort is not the best.

Yeah it makes you wonder sick of his contract and Oldham paying more again. Lawton, Farnworth and a few others they have had from Widnes 🙈 Obviously we can't compete so we need to look for bigger investors to kick on otherwise keep this 2k fan base. 🙈

But yet again silence the couple of players they say we are signing only gets us back to manageable levels but if your letting starting players leave you need even more signings it's like we have just given up

Yeah if we lose more of the die hard 2k fans we are in crunchie creak. I love my club because my Town, but a lot of people giving up now and does not help when the club are not engaging enough with fans. They should have WVIPS meetings with ideas and solutions to marketing etc. What disappoints me is when you go Town a few hours before kick off there is no posters around or how about Chemic in Tesco handing out flyers with our upcoming games. Talk to the people and ask what entice you to go the games it called engagement. There seems to be no vision and why not see Easy Jet or some big companies in the Widnes and Runcorn area  to help out. Oldham, Featherstone, Bradford and York seem to get extra investment so why not Widnes. We have been one of the best supported teams in the Championship but struggle every year to be a regular in the top 6 amazes me. The club need to wake up and it just seems problem after problem, and I belive Flash has offered his services and club rejected him. 

The fiasco with dual and loan carries on every season when other clubs utilise better than us. What is the reason? Today just got enough for a team, which is unbelievable, and Lannon sick it seems like a coincidence 🤠🤡🙈

I’m not gonna bag the club if Lannon has chosen to move it Oldham, it’s a short career and if he makes a move for money it is what it is the club can’t offer more than it can in its current state. 

it’s more frustrating that players would see Oldham as a step up but I guess that’s where we are as a club at the minute

I don't get this let him leave if he has signed eleswhere next season mentality. Most players are only on 1 or 2 year deals anyway. Last season with Walker and Dixon it was later in to the season and both not regular starters.

Lannon is a first choice back row, the season has not long started. Most importantly we are way way short on numbers. We only named 19 players this week, let 4 young 'project' signings go and the relationship with Warrington doesn't seem to be the best and they can't be relied upon. 

Firstly is this true, if it is why on earth are we letting him go while still under contract. Why can't he go to Oldham in 5/6 months time when his contract with Widnes expires?

Time for a fans forum to explain whats going on??
