This is true and the finish line is in sight for the likes of faz and isa for example it will hit us hard when briers leaves and I’d of loved to see someone new come in to replace himDaveO wrote: ↑Wed Aug 31, 2022 5:46 pm Definitely time to retire as a player and what a great servant to the club he has been.
Not sure about the coaching role. He can’t possibly bring anything new to the table having been here so long. If players want to go into coaching it would probably be better for them if they did so at another club. Not necessarily easy to do as other clubs may not be interested.
The club itself is going to have to stop giving jobs for the boys sooner or later. They can’t employ every long serving player as a coach.

+1. Hardly surprising though, hope it works out for us and himself. Great servant to the club and a good professional but a big step up for so early in his coaching careerWigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 31, 2022 5:29 pm Not sure how I feel about the coaching just smacks of the jobs for the boys culture and as others have said you can see how the introduction of briers made a massive difference
It was alchemy the partnership between Peet and Briers I don't think anyone could have seen it working so well,I said at the time that Breiers leaving it was going to hurt wigan for years to come if as we all knew the club decided to go with Tommy as coach..
