Adrian Lam new coach of Wigan

[fozzieskem]

I may be wrong but would it be better is SW left now as i feel the players are in limbo ???????

I’ve said it a few times he should have gone right away or say nowt till seasons end,the long goodbye approach rarely works and just creates confusion in terms of recruitment of players

Is this going to happen though?
Lam is rumoured to be the new coach and was at the game on Thursday.
Has he traveled from Australia just to sign his contract or is he also going to start sometime soon?

It wouldn't be the first time someone in post has been sent on "Gardening Leave" so the new appointee can take over.

Just a thought,as AL has been in this country for at least 3 days, IF he is to be our new coach presumably the deal would have been agreed before he left Australia. so could the delay in announcing his appointment hopefully be something to do with agreeing a compensation package for Waney to allow AL at least 8 games to assess his squad.

Me also...



I understand when the club is reticent to comment on rumours and prospective signings (even misdemeanors to an extent) but the length of time taking to sort this is a farce.

I mean Wane has even announced when and where and what he will be doing when he leaves the club in 6 months time, yet we have't got a foggiest who will replace him. Just a whole load of conjecture and players/staff/fans wondering what the future brings

so could the delay in announcing his appointment hopefully be something to do with agreeing a compensation package for Waney to allow AL at least 8 games to assess his squad.

Seeing as he leaves come what may at the end of the season I doubt any money to Wane is an issue
