Hela Wigmen Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Apart from failing to realise that most clubs have 2-4 assistant coaches now, understanding what the purpose of an “Operations Manager” is or does, what the Director of Rugby role at Leigh looks like, admitting that he doesn’t actually know what a Director of Rugby does and failing to have a quick Google search and seeing that Neil Jukes isn’t listed with the first team staff on the Leigh website, it’s a gem of an article from him, yet again.

DI Keith Fowler Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Wanted the job didn't he? I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came on here expecting having to say the same but you've saved me the trouble. I've seen similar comments from some Leigh fans panicking at the site of Neil Jukes name involved with the club again, but having been in the corporate for a couple of games this year I can safely say he has nothing to do with playing matters on match day.

Robin Evans Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 A couple of things in life are fairly certain.... Night follows day and schoey will talk sheeite.

Neil Jukes is employed in part to assist in a coaching role, fact. But as a Leigh fan I am totally in agreement that there seems to be to much money being spent behind the scenes when it is new bodies on the field that should be the primary requirement. Since being promoted to SL we have signed Lewis Tierney and been linked with Ben Barba nothing else has come out of the club. To say this fan who has purchased a season ticket and the club has stated all season ticket sales will be spent on players saleries is disgruntled with proceedings would be an understatement.

Not on match days that is agreed Rob, but in a coaching capacity on the training grounds, yes he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no qualms with him lending a hand during the week. He was a very capable assistant for many years, he just wasn't cut out for the top job.

The recruits will come soon enough, personally I'd rather we took our time to get the best we can in this situation. With only 2 overseas spots available and a good chunk of the squad signed up prior to the announcement it's vital that the signings are the right quality to give us a chance of staying up.

Jukes isn’t involved with coaching, unless the coaches ask him for an opinion. He works FT at AB Sundecks and assists in off field stuff at the club. Derek is doing his best to bring in but as favourites for the drop and 1 year deals we are not at the top of players lists. if we fail to sign anymore we will enter next year a very wealthy club, but the players feel they will stay up and will fight for everything for 80 mins a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like jobs for the boys, and as a Widnes fan with memories of the Rule Era, this strategy doesn't always work out and things could go pear shaped quickly down parsonage way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind side johnny Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 To be fair to Schoey he does have extensive experience of successfully running commercial organisations. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
