Was it just to get the season tickets up?

But the wait is fundamental to the situatarion we find ourselves in no other sports club has ever to my knowledge waited so long for their next Appiontment to be made it clueless and inept.DaveO wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 7:59 pmI don’t know why you mention the wait.

Why on earth hold a press conference to announce the signing of a coach who you haven't actually signed?
Shocking.
It was then and remains a ridiculous decision all the rest of it is neither here nor there,Wigan are supposedly the biggest club in the world ao why the hell should Wigan wait?
I don’t care who is he,if the person you approach can’t take the reins in a reasonable timeframe then move on to the next name
The issues here are of competence and integrity. Announcing a coach whom you either never intended to take up the post or have managed to lose because you were too dim witted enough to send a contact to is appalling. To suggest all this is neither here nor there is as astonishing as the situation we find ourselves in.
I don't think anyone believes that. Isn't that what makes all of this even more baffling?No straw damn us wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 8:22 pm Do people honestly believe that there has beenj no dialogue between Lenagan, Radlinski, Lam and Edwards in the past few months?
Get in the real world.
Something is obviously going on, and my guess is we'll find out about it sooner rather than later now that Edwards is on a short temporary break from his Welsh job.
The wait and the merit of deciding to actually wait has nothing to do with the situation we face now. Unless you think Edwards is a liar where we find ourselves now is down entirely to lack of competence and/or integrity shown by IL and KR post the decision to go for this approach.fozzieskem wrote:But the wait is fundamental to the situatarion we find ourselves in no other sports club has ever to my knowledge waited so long for their next Appiontment to be made it clueless and inept.DaveO wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 7:59 pmI don’t know why you mention the wait.

I suggested no contract had been signed aa couple of weeks back,no special knowledge just sifting through post after post in my spare time so this isn’t a surprise to me,of course if the club hasn’t waited this wouldn’t be an issue,you’re right of course this is down to the club but the second someone came up with the idea of waiting then cock ups became very real possibility and the way the club is being run at the moment well anything is possible
Oh no Dave don’t misunderstand me,I admire Edwards for sticking to a contract(ironic given he hasn’t got one at Wigan)but I question the benefit of waiting for him,and that is down fault fairly and squarely down to our glorious leader and to me it’s that wait that this F up has been allowed to happen.DaveO wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 8:37 pmThe wait and the merit of deciding to actually wait has nothing to do with the situation we face now.

There was nothing inevitable about it and once it was announced everyone accepted the deal at face value. Why would you not? Due to hindsight?
Why didn’t they get him to sign a contract? Why did they say it can be done later? Why talk about a three year deal at the press conference? IL was grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
So given all that, On what planet does a supposedly competent businessman like IL not get his man to sign on the dotted line? I can foresee a load of absolute bullshit emanating from IL’s mouth in the coming days and some people will swallow it (not suggesting you will be one by the way).
So you think negotiating in public by basically saying he is looking for another job is the style of a man who only supposedly signed for Wigan no sooner than 2020 out of a sense of duty to honour his current deal?Caboosegg wrote:Just to play devils advocate i know everyone likes a good IL bash but what happens if this is just Edwards trying to fish a better contract?
