We were dire in 2019 in truth but the dregs he left still finished second in the table. As pointed out I think Wane left because he would’ve been left with a weakened squad through no choice of his own.

I haven't heard anything about replacements unlike others on here. I'd be surprised if anything is fixed yet or process started. Although the Price situation in respect of final year of contract was obviously recognised I'd imagine that the club's "decision point" on next year wasn't scheduled for at least a couple of months. Price making his own decision will have accelerated the process.

Having said that, looking at things logically you'd imagine any Aussie who was worth his salt is either gainfully employed or extremely unlikely to commit to move to the UK given current global circumstances. That would leave you with the domestic market and we would surely want somebody who is a proven winner (having said that I'd imagine Watson currently has his head in his hands cursing the timing) leaving McDermott or Wane as the option.

Given Wane's history of producing sustainable success via the academy, which is our own Holy Grail, aligned with his current role being all but redundant when we need his services and Wane's own appreciation of the Warrington club and set up it isn't hard to surmise that Wane is strong favourite to be our next coach.

Now where’s the nearest bookie?

The nearest open bookies is probably Australia or NZ.

Yes, getting rid of high profile expensive loss assets like George Burgess more recently is a bigger pointer to a sell off in contrast, Tomkins being more of a cost cutting measure to balance crowd number losses and little game time return from him...
However, I never mentioned selling or buying players, that is always a Rads and Lenegan decision, as Wane said himself. Sorry I wasn’t clearer on that.
My thought process was the style of off-putting football and several off field incidents.

Cryptic Meg returns!

My advice, watch a Stanley Unwin clip on that video sharing site then re read RD's post inserting your own punctuation then you'll understand what it's all about.

Deep Joy!!

Or that chap off "Wheel Tappers and Shunters" with the faulty microphone! Norman somebody?

If Shaun Wane is on his way to Wire, you can bet Charnley will want to leave. They hate each other.

Would Charnley be missed, as we're allergic to passing to him?

Pile your money on Charley to top score.
Last season was to lull the league into a false sense of security, this time they won’t be able to cope with the KingCharnley axis.

The only potential fly in the ointment is if the opposition keep trapping poor old Charners in the tackle. (This is not a reference to Makinson/Lineham tackle technique).
