I didn't think Wigan would admit the mistake in getting him in the first place.

All band wagon jumpers welcomed to the ian,birchall TAP has gone, alleleuia, bandwagon.
The only worry now is I see after doing the Top Tipping competition last night that London play/should beat Les Catalans on Friday so even when we beat London on Monday we will still be bottom and thats after 10 games!

I wouldn't say that Lindsay was backing Millward at all. The interview I heard on Wish FM had Lindsay skirting around the answer like a politician. He wouldn't commit to giving a definitive answer to whether Millwards job was at risk.

I don't know which interview you heard. I didn't hear the one you referred to on Wish FM.

The comments from Lindsay I am on about made a direct comparison to Tony Smiths situation at Wakefield and said no one was questioning his position whereas they were with regard to Millward just because it was Wigan.

He then went on to say Wigan were not in the business of sacking coaches just because of the situation we were in. It wasn't a one line throw away comment but he made these points at some length.

I was quite surprised at this because it for a start it doesn't ring true given the clubs past record but he did say stuff like this.

In sacking Millward so soon into his contract (<1/3 way through) the board admits that they are not a good judge of coach, are they the best person to choose the next coach? Is a coach going to want to take on the poison chalice if he is living in constant fear of unemployment?

The board did not sign Millward because we didn't have a board last season when he got the job.

The two people who made all the noise about signing Millward were ML & DW. DW in particular was in the media quite a bit about it.

So you could say the board are saying ML & DW are not a good judge of a coach but I very much doubt it because I think at least two men on the board are DW's men and have done his bidding on getting rid of Millward.

Lindsey was asked if Millwards job was safe. Anything other than yes or No is skirting around the answer.
