I trust Edwards on this. He may be rough around the edges but he has never been afraid to tell it like it is. Why would he need to lie? The dust has settled on him becoming coach and its not like we refused him the job is it? He refused us so theres no reason for him to be bitter and start making up lies.

Ian Lenaghan can be a good Chairman, but he too can be arrogant at times.

Both as bad as one another in the affair!

There's no reason for him even to raise the subject again, but he has. And at just the right time to cause Wigan more embarrassment.

As to why he would lie, good question ... perhaps you should ask him.

People need to remember that, round Wigan back in the day, Shaun Edwards had a rep for being a bit of a daft lad.

The way he's behaved since that press conference, I'm not sure much has changed.

Did he raise it or was he asked?

I never got the impression he was ever a daft lad. He always came across as a bit rough around the edges and a bit blunt but ive never had any reason to believe he was a liar.

On the other hand, you would be forgiven for questioning the clubs truthfulness. Remember when Edwards had signed a contract then it turned out he hadnt signed anything?

The trick would have been to say "that's all over with".

But I suspect that whatever publicity Permanent Assistant Shaun was trying to drum up for the Six Nations will be forgotten in today's new development.

Re: Shaun Edwards, apparently....... : Tue Jan 28, 2020 6:36 pm  
The things SE is saying now ties in to what happened, so for me makes it more believable.

“lack of security”
We know he wasn’t offered a contract, rather a verbal agreement. Probably one of the most ridiculous and embarrassing things I’ve heard our great club do, just above offering Tony Clubb a 2yr extension.

“Coaching staff choices weren’t approached”
Wigan have kept the same back room staff for Lam as with Wane (minus Bitcon) for the second season running. That either means Lam didn’t want his own staff, plausible as he was only supposed to be here for one season, or he was never given the choice - plausible again as there has been no movement. IL likes the assistant to Head Coach route, as proven with Wane and probably why John Winder is still there. Honestly I can believe IL didn’t want SE’s coaching staff as they’d cost a fortune as opposed to the much cheaper option he has now.

“Williams sold behind my back”
Nothing really to back that up but given IL has been adventurous with the truth in the past it’s hard to not be tempted in by the notion he hasn’t been truthful with SE.

There’s 3 sides to every story; version A, version B and the truth.

If he ever turns up at the stadium or training ground again he should be promptly turned away.

A great player, but he's set fire to his legacy.

Point is it was practically forgotten about and 3 days before the season starts he digs it up again with seemingly no other purpose but to show us in a bad light.
Now his side of the story might be 100% true but his behaviour still makes him an asshole.

Yep and I can’t disagree with that. It’s best being laid to rest where it was than continually being dug up though it’s almost certain this was a question asked by a journo in an interview rather than SE deliberately coming out to say this.
