I thank him for his time and efforts, I never really liked the concept of 'director of rugby' just let the coach and his assistants get on with it.

Wish him luck but glad he has gone though.

He came to Widnes to get us into SL, job done, for which I thank him. Barrow were sweeping everyone before them at the time but PC brought in the right SL players on duel reg to win the final.

In his time with us he & his family had a major personal tradgey to cope with & are no doubt still having to deal with it. I can't imagine how this affected Paul!

IMO he had sufficent time to prove himself at Wire but could not move them to the next level, so Widnes did the right thing moving him upstairs. Though it is not a position I am a fan of.

I think PC leaving shows Widnes aspiritions to move on to playoff level & am very happy with this. I hope Paul's postion is now left vacant.

I wish Paul & his family future success & happiness in everything they do.

Totally agree wacker.

Best wishes to PC. He played his part in getting us into SL. Of that I have no doubt.

Did he maybe have a row with the new CEO?
