Quote: Norweb "without Madge, it'd be hard to imagine Rads staying. he loves his club, but i heard the club is paying him very poorly. he stays because of the working relaitonship with madge.
and yes, Wane isn't ready for the big time. snuggle up to any player and they'll tell you the truth. Doesn't mean he won't be ready but his real apprenticship started one year ago. He'd want to be an assistant for at least 5 years before he's ready to ride the big waves.'"
Negative rumours are part and parcel of being top dogs (anyone remember Hanley is going to American Football?), and the likes of Andy Wilson, who resent any success, delight in spreading them.
We shouldn't be surprised by that, no matter how tenuous the connection to reality.
But likewise, we shouldn't be surprised that there is always someone at this end who hits the panic button, and then adds fuel to the fire by making stuff up. For what it's worth, I've heard exactly the opposite about Rads, and that his main working relationship is with Ian Lenagan. So which of us has heard correctly?
