| Not that it will matter because I’m sure he doesn’t want to come but on the off chance he decides he’ll grace us with his presence, I hope the club are looking at the general opinion of platforms such as social media. The over whelming majority are saying the do not want him.

| Well he has Wales, England and Wasps as irons in the fire so I don’t think there’s an earthly that he’ll deign to honour us with his presence. Hopefully, he doesn’t keep our hapless owner dangling for too long.

| Definitely not. What's more, I'd like to be there should he ever have the gall to take the field at the DW as he has done in the past. Absolutely disrespected his former club and birthplace. No problem though.. He's an honorary Welshman now, don't you know..

Shaun Wanes shows interest in coaching in the NRL:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/22463939
IL confirms Lams short tenure at Wigan is a stepping stone to NRL:
https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/sh ... from-2020/
however Shaun Edwards cannot have ambition? IL deals with staff & players leaving for NRL - union in a way Starbucks deals with its staff turnover. He's got form in this and should have sat Edwards in the middle of the pitch at a desk with pen & contract in hand with a perfect photo opportunity. Now we have to face that photo forever & a day from rival fans. We had people on here pitching IL as a super savvy chairman, now I'm not so sure, everything as come at a cost which, OK is not comparable to Bradfords demise but it's in the next ball park.
As for Edwards, he is a fully committed serial winner and I'd still have him in a flash but sadly it's never going to happen.

| I'm ambivalent here now about SE coming to coach, but I did want SE to arrive and hopefully do a proper job. However, I have to say it seems to me that SE really just wants the best deal for him. Now if he was a player many on the forums would say "He is doing right...short career blah blah". Now why do folk take a different view if they are a coach ?
Is he not just getting as much dosh as possible in a short career ?
As a Wigan fan since the late 1950's I dislike that mercenary approach. But many feel that is the 'modern world'.
Now I have to ask , speculative in a sense, due to Lenagans 'austerity measures'. Have the 'goal posts' been moved at Wigan due to this 'cost cutting' ?
Sorry for mixing my metaphors, but has Edwards been denied money to buy players or is he having to put up with the players that poor Adrian Lam is having to put up with ? If so, why would he do that bearing in mind he currently deals with International players ?
I was speaking with a guy this evening, who 'nursed' Sean Wane whilst he was in hospital in recent times. He could not tell me of Wanes medical issues, of course. Wane was shattered mentally he said, but was still a very nice and honest guy.

| No, not now or ever. Yes, the club have dealt with this in a really amateurish way whilst misleading the fans but the fact remains that Edwards agreed terms and was happy to take part in the press conferences etc announcing his appointment from 2020.
To then play this out in the media the way he did is unforgivable. He's had his head turned and is now sticking 2 fingers up at the club who gave him the opportunity to become the player he was. You just don't do that to a club you claim to love.

You mean you'd let him in at all? I'd make him watch it from his 'conveniently located' London home.

No matter what happens, he deserves respect for doing that, not booing

| With Edwards now, it's clear he's not coming. I think the wait now surrounds confirming who will be in the roll next year. We know IL likes a double edged announcement.

I don’t think we should stoop to that level, instead we should remember to honour the lads who lost their lives.
Some will boo no doubt though which is unfortunate.

Woiuldn't agree with booing, if he's presenting a trophy to one of our lads.
A better idea might just be utter silence from the moment he's announced on the pitch until he actually hands over the trophy, then applause for the recipient.
An even better idea is the one above, where we let PJ do the presentation.
