Quote: DaveO "Life is also about integrity and honouring your commitments and in professional sport this supposed to be even more important. Not jumping ship the minute someone makes you an offer. In my industry we employ people on fixed term contracts and the ones that get taken back on when the needs arise are the ones who fulfil their obligations, not the ones who don't. Bad reputations are easily earned and hard to shrug off. The way people go on you would think he was in charge of a ramshackle outfit at the bottom of NL2 earning £100 a week, not head coach of Wigan.'"


Integrity and honour, 2 great aspects in life that unfortunately are far too often ignored by people especially in sport. Sport is judged on performance, and sport can be ruthless at times. If Maguire sees his contract out, has a poor season this yr and a poor one next yr does he still get the same chances he is offered now? No he doesnt. Yes Wigan head coach is a massive job but for an Aussie coaching in NRL is greater no matter how much we all wish it wasnt! If a coach gets sacked do the fans feel sorry for the guy that now has to go and find a job? No!! So why do some fans make out that its a crime to move clubs!!

Quote: Rogues Gallery "Wane should be given a chance. He has graduated through the systems at U18, U20/21 and assistant coach.
I would expect he will be given a 2+1 deal which will allow both the club and himself to see if he up to the job.

If he does get it then it will be very interesting to see who he picks as his assistant.'"


That's the key issue for me regarding Wane. I think we'd be prudent to employ from outside the club on this one rather than promoting a relatively inexperienced Radlinski, Deacon, Fletcher....

Quote: XBrettKennyX "Madge- a little disappointing as I would have liked a bit of stability for the next couple of years. However, I don't blame him, he has got to do whatever he thinks is best for his career. I do await with interest the reaction of the MM "Fanboy" club that we have on these boards though.....

Wane- I geniuinely don't know if he can cut it as first team coach or not. He has had a good record in the reserves, but the first team is a completely different boiling vessel of aquatic life. I remember reports from when he was at school that he wasn't the brightest button in the box, and this is a tad worrying.

IL- Looks like MM deal was a 2+1 rather than 3 years. He kept that one quiet. I think he will appoint Wane as it is the easy option and will appease the fans. That said, he is now in a very tough position, and I don't envy him one bit. I think we will have to support him on this one.'"


An interesting and thought provoking post.

I concur that Sean Wane whilst obviously ticking all the right boxes isn't up to graduate level in the 'brain department'. This is one of the reasons in my opinion, why the Ozzies continually outstrip us, as all their spokesmen/coaches and 'game planners' are very articulate individuals.

Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple? "unless you hit it directly at Paul Wellens, it's several minutes before he'll arrive at the ball." Saddened "I'm done. Brown out. If LMS, Turner or Walker get in any match day squad i will not be attending from now on in." LFC Saint:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_41943.jpg

From that story it sounds like Madge had a 3 year deal but IL agreed to release him a year early.

Interesting that he is keeping a house here and may well return.

I must admit to being pleased to hear that.

By the sounds of it he's gone early as part of some kind of gentleman's agreement. Some won't like, but others might say it makes sense to keep someone like Maguire sweet. Maybe we get something in return - like first-refusal on his services should he ever decide to come back over.

Who knows, but this seems to be in keeping with IL's style. He doesn't strike me as the sort to fall out with people unless it's absolutely unavoidable.

It may also help us to develop a partnership with SSR for player exchanges etc.
