    Deep down in me I want him to turn things round and succeed, but he is not letting me do that.

    He refers to me as a "sheep". Well I am not and has anyone ever seen sheep jump on a bandwagon? Maybe he counts sheep so he can get to sleep when we are playing

    He says he knows everything about the game. I bet Tony Smith and Shaun Wane spat out their cornflakes when they read that.

    He mentions the Promised Land. I think he is in Cuckoo Land.

    Sorry, Mr Cunningham, you are not doing yourself any favours with these interviews. One tip. If you are unsure what to say then say nothing.

    He wouldn't need to count sheep to get to sleep watching us! Strong caffeine required to stay awake I'd have thought!

    Yep, I'm feeling the same. I wanted him to turn it around because it would have been fantastic to have our club playing well and winning games with a legend as coach. It would have been win-win. But now I'm just wanting the team to do well despite him. He is making me dislike him, and it's all his own doing with some of the stupid remarks he has made. In the unlikely event he turns this around I'll still remember how he acted when under pressure, and it won't be a positive memory.

    Time for our daily prayers boys. Repeat after me.
    Oh sweet baby Jebus. Please bless us with a win this weekend. Please bless us with the strength that we may be able to complete a set, string a few passes together, score some half decent tries and concede less than 40 points.
    Amen

    This pretty much sums up how I feel, I loved the guy as a player but I'm getting sick of him. I don't enjoy feeling like this and the fact that it is KC upsets me all the more but I just feel like he's taken my Saints away from me and I should just shut up keep turning up and not complain at the rugby on show and the six or seven players who I think shouldn't even be in a Saints shirt.

    Should never have appointed him in the first place. We all knew that. We were all prepared to give him the opportunity to grow into the role. However, none of us have been prepared for the pitiful way in which the team appear to be prepared for each game. There is a lesson in this, and it is about appointing great players into roles in which they have not demonstrated the same level of aptitude. Coaching is not playing. It requires a different personality, different skills and different levels of emotional intelligence. It's something that people should bear in mind when they start clamouring in the future for Paul Wellens to get promoted to whatever. Let these guys learn their trade at a lower grade. Earn some ribbons coaching there before they get big jobs like at Saints. There is no substitute for experience and I'd suggest that most British players looking to develop a coaching career couldn't do much better than what McNamara has done and go to the NRL and learn from them. They are the best. Start there.

    KC
    " We have done that in the past and ended up with players for two or three years when after 12 months we are all thinking ‘What the hell is he doing at this club?

    OMG!!! Is that man seriously saying these things?? That applies to Peyroux and 100% Owens but he still plays him... Not to mention Haggarty lol

    This man is now basically taking the •••• out of the fans!!! He is like Brendan Rodgers!!!

    To be fair, KC does look like he's eaten 5 loaves.

    I don't think I've ever seen a SL coach at any club as out of his depth as KC is right now. Anyone else would've been put out of their misery by this point.

    People say he was a great player (he was) it won't effect how we think of him as a player (it has) there are many younger supporters who will have only heard great things about Kieron,but now they are seeing a different side to him,the massive ego,the individual who thinks he is right no matter what anybody else thinks or says,

    I have lost all respect for him,the way he has buried his head in the sand and refused to believe that he is right and that's it,

    Sean Long has had an easy ride,great player flawed individual,defensive coach another great idea from Kieron.

    You might be right about what young fans think if they've only seen KC as a coach, but for anyone else I doubt this will ruin their memories of him as a player. He was a great player, that will never change, and he will always be a St Helens legend. He's just a very average coach and is making himself look like a not particularly nice bloke. A part of it is pressure, and some people handle it better than others, and I reckon in years to come he'll probably look back and wonder why the hell he said some of these things. But, he's saying them, and he's making the situation worse with every interview he gives. He is not coming out of this looking great, but it won't affect my memories of him as a player.

    Eammon was quick to jump on Nathan Brown when performances weren't up to scratch so where are you now Eammon?....not a peep and why?.. because it is KC, absolutely nobody else would have gotten away with this.
    The whole situation and the club it seems stinks at the moment.

    .
    Because the buck stops with the boss. Longy should be running our attack , anyone with an ounce of sense knows that. Making that change alone might even save Cunningham's job but it wont happen because its not his idea and he'd have to admit he was wrong
