:lol: why would Matty want to go to a failing Wigan side that hasn't even got a decent coach

you might not be the big club you think you are lets wait and see eh

You'd better get used to every name under the sun being mentioned on here in the next few months.

The trick, if it's one of yours, is not to take it too personally. That just makes you looked scared.

I think it's good news for Wigan myself.Just because he is a former great of the club means nothing. You could get Denis Betts or Andy Gregory if that's the criteria.Edwards has been out of the game for a long time and has never been head coach.He's also dour.As dull as ditch water. Just imagine a post game interview with him after a home defeat.

I think his interviews are honest and to the point which is refreshing in this era of cliches.

The BS continues with Lenagan backing up Edwards tale that he doesn’t feel he’s prepared for the job rather than calling him out.

Never wanted him in the first place but just give us some honesty.

100% this

So much for giving fans clarity yet again Lenegan treats fans with contempt and he wonders why crowds are going down

I’d say Wanes rugby is the reason crowds are so bad this season.

Wanes rugby was bad but it brought success, don’t get me wrong I want to see exciting rugby and I was on the Wane Out bandwagon as well but looking back I’d like a balance between them both. I don’t believe Wane’s rugby was a reason the fans stayed away. IMHO the selling of our stars (Sam, Joel, MM) and the recruitment of far lesser players is a huge reason they’ve stayed clear, alongside poor marketing and promotion from the club. Look down the A49 to Warrington to see what can be done with effective marketing and promotion.

For me it’s not just the playing side that needs reform and rebuild. The backroom staff needs it, the marketing team needs it. The whole club top to bottom needs it. Maybe then will we see crowds coming back.

Remove Edwards from the hall of fame. He has now tarnished his reputation in Wigan to the point it is irrepairable. He was never as good as Andy Gregory anyway.

Do you want saints to rip down Cunningham too?

Correct. Paul Macleod, mate of mine funnily enough but he’s doing a superb job over at Warrington.

as much as I agree, it is Lenegans train set, he can play as he pleases.
