Rumour is director of rugby I think. Apparently he was seen meeting with Lindsay the other day. Only a rumour mind.

Seems to be a rumor in some papers and other media today.

If he gets offered hed come. If we lose tomorrow watch the papers on monday. Its unfair to bring him in as a director as it would undermine Betts.

Anything that would help Denis to get results out of the team has got to be a good move. They (Denis and Millward) looked comfortable on BBC coverage last week)
Don't forget Denis was only supposed to be Asst Coach. The idea was to get him some experience under Mike without the pressure of being Wigans Head Coach.

IMO, nothing's going to happen until MG's situation is sorted out.

It seems wigan are being faithful to him through his illness, fair enough it'd be harsh to just say see you to the guy, but cant they pay off his contract and let him go due to ill health? My brother said milly cant come in as our coach to replace betts because he isnt our actual coach MG still is, i dont know if its true though, but if it is we're in a sticky situation!

I understood we were honouring MG's contract to end of this year cause we didn't want the bad press that would follow terminating his employment and salary.
Still the Milward thing is only rumours.
