We are already 4 points adrift at the bottom of the table, if he can get us back up the table, not necessarily into the playoffs. Then he will be hailed as a success. If he brings silverware to the club in the future it will do no end of good for his coaching CV, the man who made wigan into a championship winning team again. If we get relegated
he can say he took over a club in dire straights that needed too much to keep it in the superleague. Then there is the money, I am sure he will be getting paid a pretty penny for his services. If he does relish a challenge, then this is the job for him, I don't think he has got all that much to lose. I personally think it is a done deal and he will be unveilled as the next coach this evening or tomorrow morning. He is a good coach and is already doing a good job of that at Bradford, IMO his style of play will suit us better than Millwards of all out attack, which we have displayed we aren't that good at yet. I couldn't stand Millward when he was at Stains, but he was a good coach none the less. When he came to Wigan I was quite excited because I was thinking if he can make us as entertaining as Stains to watch it would be great. My only criticism of his methods were that defence didn't seem a priority to him, he had the atitude at Stains that we will just have to score more tries than the opposition, which with our lack of inspiration at key positions was never going to work.
