You're probable right, but we cant speculate, and this is theway its happened in the papers and internet.

Bilko and cadoo are spot on, this will work well for Wigan and the whole culture of the way the club is run is changing, we will see a difference next year and I think we will be the next team to dominate a few seasons other than Leeds and Saints. Our club is doing all the right things off the field at the moment, we have real ambitions for the team and for the clubs as a wholl as Bilko mentions IL wants an average of 20,000 which is easily achievable with a succesful Wigan team!

Paul Deacon was never that good as a player, what makes people think he'll make it as a coach?

Same could be said for Noble, never really stood out as a player but has won everything in the game at club level coaching.

Could be said for some footballers. Ferguson, Moyes weren't always the best of players but have proven to be very good coaches. Great players don't always make good coaches either. I'm pleased with the signing, proves where heading in the right direction and looking at specialised coaches that we haven't done before.

So what? Good players are often proved not to make good coaches and vice versa average players can often make a good coach.

I don't think Deacon was ever top draw but he did his job in a simple but effective manner and he has a huge medal haul to prove it.

He's plugs the gap where we failed last year. A directional kicking game around the park was non existent. Deacon will fill that role if used. I was hoping for Danny Brough but Deacon will do.

Why are the two jobs interconnected? They are mutually exclusive of one another.
