If Sculthorpe is indeed announced as the assistant to Wane it'll be be bizarre appointment IMO. Not a wrong one, as they may turn out to be a fantastic coaching team, and what ever they'll have my full backing. It's just that I, and a lot on here have the opinion that for Wane to succeed he'd need an experienced man by his side. We'll have gone the complete opposite direction of that, to a man who to my knowledge has very little coaching experience.
What I'd love to know, and hopefully we'll hear if this turns out to be true. Is why Sculthoroe was selected? Was he sounded out by Wane and Lenegan? Or did he approach Wigan about the deal? And then what in particular got him the deal? Because it can't be a track record of coaching success. Maybe he gave a cracking interview and that won Lenegan over? What ever, I hope we hear the reasons why Lenegan chose Sculthorpe.
I also hope the announcement of Sculthorpe as assistant doesn't over shadow the announcement of Wane as head coach, that would be terribly unfair on Shaun.
This may turn out to be another excellent decision from Lenegan, and I really hope it is. Sometimes it is better to go left field rather than like for like when replacing someone.
As for Amos to Quins. From what I saw on Tuesday night they'd be better off with King. Still if this loan deal leads to Amos seeking a request to leave Wigan at the end of the season a year early, I won't complain.
