I think it would be a great appointment if that is what we go and do.

You only have to look at how the reserves play for him, he has total respect from each and every single one of them and they listen to everything he says.

There would be a little sense of risk there by appointing Wane due to a lack of first team experience but i think the vast majority would back it.

He knows the club inside out and knows what it means to play for this club and to win for this club. He obviously knows the young players at this club like the back of his hand and he'd be as good a coach as any to bring them on.

I'd be happy enough.

I'd still prefer McGuire simply because of his reputation as an intellect of the game, and the standard of coaches he's trained under. To have Wane in as some kind of senior assistant (maybe with a view to taking over in the future) would be ideal because, as other's have said, he's Wigan through and through and knows all about the ethos that's been missing from this club in recent years.

I got told 3 weeks ago he had been offered the job.

Would all Nobles assistants go with him if he leaves for Celtic

If you mean go with him to Celtic, then no, but leave Wigan, probably yes.

I would rather have Mcguire.

Monie was pretty scathing of Wane as a player in his biography. It'd be interesting to see if he learned from what Monie told him and could apply it to current players as a coach.

Would an appointment like Wane - unproven, and never a top class player provide the necessary strength of leadership at a big club like Wigan? It's a big risk IMO. Would he get the players respect? Especially from those who've already attained more in their careers than Wane managed?

At Bradford we always promoted from within but it can backfire as you will have seen.

I don't know what the situ was with McNamara at Bradford, but if Wane is appointed it would be as more than just a former first team favourite. Shaun has worked very hard for many years in the coaching set-up at Wigan, and his work is hugely respected. Plus, I doubt there are many at Wigan now who have attained more than Shaun did as a player - to start with, he was in the Wigan team that won the first WCC Challenge against Manly. I'm pretty sure he lifted a lot of other silverware in that time as well. How could he have failed to?

All that said, I'd prefer McGuire because of his NRL experience. But I'd definitely want Shaun Wane in there somewhere - his teams' results pretty well speak for themselves.

Maguire - headcoach
Wane - Assisant

Is what i'm praying for. but i wouldnt be to disappointed with wane taking full charge.

I'm happy to give Wane at shot at it and if it doesn't work out we can look for an early appointment ahead of 2011.

I just wish the club would clarify the situation though.
