He would be the exception do you think Williams added to the Wigan brand,sold hundreds of extra shirts,season tickets etc?shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 1:02 amWould you not pay someone like Edwards a marquee salary?fozzieskem wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:00 am For me marquee player should only be players from outside the club,ideally stars who will put bums on seats
No, but I Don't think that we should be ruling out players coming through our system becoming a marquee player. We need to dangle the carrot.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 2:05 pmHe would be the exception do you think Williams added to the Wigan brand,sold hundreds of extra shirts,season tickets etc?shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 1:02 amWould you not pay someone like Edwards a marquee salary?fozzieskem wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:00 am For me marquee player should only be players from outside the club,ideally stars who will put bums on seats
Maybe you’re right and maybe and I’m singling Williams out here he was given marquee far too early,it has to attract people in who have either lost their love of the game or new to it,something that for me a home green player just doesn’t do.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 5:40 pmNo, but I Don't think that we should be ruling out players coming through our system becoming a marquee player.

Think Williams would have gone had Wigan not upped his contract substantially. He had offers from all over.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 6:44 pmMaybe you’re right and maybe and I’m singling Williams out here he was given marquee far too early,it has to attract people in who have either lost their love of the game or new to it,something that for me a home green player just doesn’t do.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 5:40 pmNo, but I Don't think that we should be ruling out players coming through our system becoming a marquee player.

Maybe,maybe not his departure was hardly met with much handwringing was it?jobo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 7:23 pmThink Williams would have gone had Wigan not upped his contract substantially.

If he had gone, think Wigan fans would have gone bananas.
That's true but if you recall how things were at the time of awarding him marquee, he deserved it.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 10:51 pmMaybe,maybe not his departure was hardly met with much handwringing was it?jobo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 7:23 pmThink Williams would have gone had Wigan not upped his contract substantially.

I DO recall, and I don't think he ever warranted marquee status.jobo wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 1:25 pmThat's true but if you recall how things were at the time of awarding him marquee, he deserved it.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 10:51 pmMaybe,maybe not his departure was hardly met with much handwringing was it?
I have to agree,Williams was a good player but one at the time he signed the deal had stood still,he,for me at least didn’t push on as I hoped he would do,worryingly inconsistent all his Wigan career and that was a shame.bertina wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 2:05 pmI DO recall, and I don't think he ever warranted marquee status.jobo wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 1:25 pmThat's true but if you recall how things were at the time of awarding him marquee, he deserved it.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 10:51 pm

Over-hyped, and went missing far too often during crunch matches.
