To be fair to Mr Lenagan he has done his bit.

he has continued to sign players and provide the funds to do so.

We have 2 marquee players, he retained hastings and french, brought Bateman back, tried to bring williams back. Covid has been a hard period for the whole world.

The coaching situation at the moment is dire.

Our attack has been garbage but this has been caused by a poor pack that lacks size and go forward. We are clearly a mid table team this year having not beaten any of the top opposition.

The future of the sport is in the balance and we are in a position we are not used to finding ourselves.

The coaching situation may not be able to be revealed for next year as Lammy or the players may not have yet been told his deal isnt being renewed.

Noble only announced he had been released after the last game of the season.

I suspect this will be the same with Lammy.

Excellent summation of the current state of affairs at Wigan.
Let's hope that the Club issue a statement to settle the fans nerves, because the longer things go on as they are doing at present, the more disheartening it is to the fans
Come on Messer's Lenegan and Radlinski provide the fans with some encouraging news of how the Club is going to move forward.

Has nothing come from IL in the match day brochure there's normally a chairman update in that?

I subscribe to the view that unless there's something to announce we don't have to have comments on rumours, however I'm sure there must be someone at the club aware of the damage this season will do to season ticket sales and attendance next year.

I understand covid as an issue it's why after last year I still bough at ST but the way we play is so poor that if the set up is the same next year I'm an looking at not bothering, not because we are losing but of how poor we are.

Under Wane most of the time we so a half time reaction and the team could make breaks despite the pack, Marshall/budgie/Davis all looked like world beaters now though? The team has no plan, no confidence and look like a group going through the motions.

We will buy our season tickets regardless, but I can’t imagine that IL is oblivious to the narrative around the club at the moment. The single best thing he can do is find a good new coach, as there is a lot of talent in the squad, but Lam is completely out of his depth. When Maguire replaced Noble, he transformed the squad he inherited through the best conditioning and superb organisation. It is the gap between the potential and the reality that is most annoying for many of us. No way should that group of players produce such an abject performance. I would have put Lam out of his misery already, as we still have some games which we could win without him. Tbh, I would be happy if he made made Hastings player coach - it worked out fine with George Fairburn.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

They are all well aware of the coaching situation for 2022, including Lam.

Good post. The club needs to be as open as it can with what our situation is now, including constraints we're working within, and it medium term strategy. We don't hear anything about that stuff. It's difficult to share some of that without revealing too much of your hand to your competitors and potential recruits, but it must be possible to set the current situation in context.
