Adrian Lam new coach of Wigan

[Mike]

What would they say if negotiations are at an advanced stage but he hasn’t yet signed?

They could say, "negotiations are at an advanced stage but he hasn't signed yet."

Which would potentially really mess things up with Lam's current job if either party decided to withdraw. If you had a potential job offer on the table for a new position, I doubt you'd want your current employer knowing about it until you were good and ready.

Unless his employer is stupid they will know now about it. Once it hits national papers you can gurantee they will know. Unless they are on the moon then maybe not. If his employer did not know before Sunday they do now.

Wigan can't and shouldn't make any comment until everything is agreed. There maybe visa and work permits to sort and letters to the unsuccessful applicants.
What difference does it make to us fans, it won't make the appointment of the coach any quicker, when all is agreed, signed and sealed, they'll make the announcement.

We always find out things on this site begore wigan announce it officially.....i think the last signing we kept quiet was ian roberts in 86

Thought Fielden was very hush hush. But we are useless at getting info from the club.

The positive announcement to be followed by the negative one.

Someone on Rlfans saying announcement of staff leaving tomorrow (presumably Bitcon and/or Peet) and new coach announced on Thursday.

I would guess the work permit issue might be a pretty big problem. Especially for his son

Why?

Presumably Hamlin, who had no senior games for the Bunnies, got a work permit OK?

I found that one odd that he got a permit seemingly so easily though I thought you had to play so many games first before coming over?
