But he has a point. I remember saying to a close relative of his that I only hope he goes when the going is good and not by being sacked for poor performances. If he was sacked he may struggle to find another job and end up doing who knows what. Its obviously a reference to Graeme West who you would have always thought would have be offered a job within he club.Exiled Wiganer wrote:I thought the taxi comment was in absolutely appalling taste.
He's still under contract and effectively an employee, so they have signed him from us.DaveO wrote:Here is a direct link to the article:

First of all, I don't see how they "signed" him off us because he resigned but whatever.
This bit of the article made me laugh:
"Scotland Head Coach, Gregor Townsend said: “There is a lot we can learn from Shaun in both the technical side of the game as well as wider aspects of coaching. The range of skills now needed across the pitch in rugby union, aligned with the style of play we are developing means that all our players have to be able to pass accurately and deploy effective lines of running that will either hold defenders or find space. What Shaun brings from rugby league is immediately transferrable and will add real value.”
Lack of most of that is why we need a new coach.
Smart move for Wane though. I don't think how he has had Wigan playing these last few years would have any top flight clubs after his services so a life of driving taxis beckoned.
