Damien Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I actually think they need relegation to regroup, rebuild at a lower level and get fans back on side. That team and squad needs a complete overhaul and they may even get an increase in attendances with a winning team. Watching a competitive team week in week out has to be more attractive to fans than the dross they have served up this season. The fans have already turned their back on a losing team.

Bullseye Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 It'll be difficult for them. If they don't come straight back up they'll be down a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDINTHEHIZZOUSE Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I can see next season in the championship being a bit farcical,if widnes spend the 500k wisely and whoever from toronto/tolouse doesn't get promoted continue in the same vein,then the rest of us will just be making up numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spent far more than that this season and it got them nowhere. 2. Leigh spent far more than that this season and it got them nowhere. Money does not correlate to success, maybe they need to ask Halifax how they do things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellsy4HullFC Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 They ain't coming straight back up. There will be two teams better than them in the league at least already. Next year should be a stabilising year. If they base it in promotion at all costs, it'll be a long year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEANO Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Maybe they will be promoted mid season again sometimes you have to take a step backwards to move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjonn Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 For sure their fans wouldn't have wanted Widnes relegated, but it must have been awful watching the team lose so much. At least being on the Championship should see them able to rebuild and for fans to see more winning. I have a soft spot for them because my departed Ma-in-law always looked for their result in the local paper as the first thing she read. Given the teams in the Championship next year it should be a healthy competition and with a play-offs the end of season should be exciting. Whilst losing SL TV monies they should still be optimistic of fighting for and even to be in play-offs. Just maybe they can sustain a healthy fan base and with an exciting competition maybe have a good future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Should never have got rid of Dennis Betts..... You reap what you sow. I'd have Betts at Leigh now. ...Lovely bloke who did well at Widnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought at the time it seemed bizarre as he was so underwhelming at Hull. Has he improved any part of the club's operations and commercial power? Hope he doesn't fancy a chunk of the parachute payment next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Industria ditat Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 This has been coming since the middle of summer .......last year. We did well to survive last year, but survive is all we did. There were obvious problems and none of them were fixed at the end of last season. Some of those things were down to a lack of available finances, and that is a major factor in our demise. Add onto that poor management, coaching and team selection and we were doomed some time ago. Things won't be easy to fix and it will take time. As we won't have an increase in money to spend, the most important thing we need is a change in personnel off the field who can make an impact - specifically, a new coach. Whether we can attract one remains to be seen. Ultimately, we have to accept that we are where we deserve to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hallucinating Goose Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Been coming for a while now, will have to work hard to get back up, Toronto, toulouse or London to go up next season I think (excluding those that go up this year of course).
