Edwards new reason cited........
BBC interview he says he didn't come to Wigan because of "lack of control over what I thought was a head coaches role".
Nonsense or truth?
Interesting.

Latest excuse. He says the first thing that comes into his head.
Great player, as a person questionable to say the least. Sorry to say this, but I wouldn't employ him to clean our windows.

Re: Edwards new reason cited........
I said from the off it would have been a disaster and nothing changes my mind that Wigan dodged a tank shell, let alone a bullet when he turned the offer of a deal down,hes good at union clearly, let him stay there and see the rest of his career out.

My own view is it’s quite possibly true. The club is run by IL and yes man Rads. That’s it.
Coaches on rolling contracts like Wane was and Lam is, are in no position to rock the boat too much.
Re: Edwards new reason cited........
Always on form DaveO . Of SE form over the last year don't you think that IL deserves the benefit of the doubt on this one. Do you really believe Wane didn't have a say? And isnt a rolling contract actually a smart idea? No payoff required if its not working just dont renew.DaveO wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 1:45 amGot a link to the interview by any chance?Wintergreen wrote:BBC interview he says he didn't come to Wigan because of "lack of control over what I thought was a head coaches role".

These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

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

I'd like to think that there's some truth in that and in October this year, a new coach, hopefully will be in place.Wintergreen wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 10:18 pm BBC interview he says he didn't come to Wigan because of "lack of control over what I thought was a head coaches role".

If it's Lam on a rolling contract, then nothing's changed but if it's someone as yet unnamed, I just hope he takes heed of Shaun Edwards experience with contract negotiations.
The right man doesn't have to be a 'yes' man.

Re: Edwards new reason cited........
Smells like money to me left, right and centre! Not a chance Wigan are offering anywhere near the money France are! In addition, why change a winning formula......Edwards knows exactly what he is walking into (job wise) with France.
At least its done and dusted whether your relieved or disappointed!

Re: Edwards new reason cited........
I think its true but its not the reason he didnt sign
I think the way it works at Wigan is IL pays the bills and Rads sorts his mates out with backroom staff jobs
Edwards probably wanted to bring in a bitcon replacement and probably was against the idea of simply gifting Lockers and Tommy Coaching positions etc.
I think if you take the job at wigan you need to accept that you run the team but you are provided the staff and players
That said i think £££ will have been the end reason on why he didnt come
