We have no obligation surely to promise him a coaching role. Surely he or anyone gets jobs like that on merit. He
May have to start at Hunslet via Pia and West Wales before any thought of a Wigan role.

Best man for the job it should be not old boys. If he has the skills then good, if he hasn’t we shouldn’t keep him.

I was at a sportsmans dinner in 2017 and Shaun Wane was the guest speaker. Someone in the audience asked if Wane thought that Sean O'Loughlin would make a good coach.

His answer was " Technically no problem, he is one of the smartest players I have ever coached BUT coaching is only about 30% of the head coaches job. The other 70% is about dealing with all the other sh!t that goes with it.

Why is it reassuring? It's just the opposite for me because I don't see why his succession to the role would be preordained.

Mind you it's an easy option. The club doesn't have to go and find and persuade a top coach to come here then.
