All i can say is.. Thanks for the memories, 2010 will live on forever, such a turn around in fortune, so now...

Lets get behind the team, get behind Maguire and win the double!!! (or if not have a good bloody go at doing so!)

Lockyer?

Or Shaun Edwards given what he said at the end.

The way I interpreted it, Lenagan was basically inferring that although you would always consider him if he was available, Edwards wouldn't take it due to his family commitments in London.

Although it will be Wane this time around, when and if Edwards ever comes back it will be akin to Dalglish coming back to coach Liverpool for me personally and I bet I'm not the only one.

The crowds would increase even further if Edwards was appointed.

Must admit the Edwards talk is picking up

Right. Let's get a couple of things sorted:

a) if Madge had of stayed (like I desperately hoped) we would have all been elated

b) he's gone! Most of us are too proud to admit we are a little bit upset. No one wishes to lose a good coach. Take sir Alex and man u. When he goes, that club will never be the same.

However, what we have now, is possibly the most exciting time in our recent history. For once in a while, Wigan as champions have to choose a coach to lead us. Loads of coaches (both here and in oz) will want the job.

But we have to make the decision well. If we give it to Wane we have to be 200% sure he's ready, otherwise he may end up being a flop.

But we can't give another coach a long contract. If we do Wane will feel annoyed and just leave.

IMO we have two options;
1) hire a good Australian coach for a maximum of three years, then hand over to Wane.
2) make the dream team of coaching. Wane as head coach, Edwards as assistant.

How old is Shaun's lad now, he must be getting on a bit now? He was with Heather Small back in the mid-90's so he'd be at least 17??

(Assuming he doesn't have other family commitments like other kids).

Edwards is far too inexperienced to take on the role of head coach, not just that but he is accustomed to the role of assistant in RU. I wouldn't bet against that kind of role, if anything, at Wigan.

Edwards: head says "mmmm don't think so."
Heart says: "yes, yes, yes."

I think it will be Wane but Edwards contracts are up with both Wales and his cub soon. So until Wane is announced or Edwards signs new deals in RU you can bet the speculation won't go away.

If he was offered the job i dont think he could or would turn it down.
He'd walk home
