I sympathise with this viewpoint, but as Jon says, now is not the time for us to be holding press conferences about next year.
And I've heard this so many times before - "there is no logical reason" for this not to be announced.
What does this mean exactly - that Wigan are deliberately being illogical? That IL is sitting around laughing, saying "I've no reason for not announcing this, but I'm not going to announce it anyway." That's an illogical viewpoint to take.
We - or rather some of us - went through this kind of angst after Noble didn't get a new contract. There were people demanding to know what was going on, calling for IL's head. Again, there was "no logical reason for not telling us what was happening". Except that there was - we were going through the complex process of seeking out and appointing one of the best young coaches in the world, and IL didn't want to tell us until it was signed, sealed and delivered.
I also want to comment on the "if it was sorted, we'd have heard about it on the grapevine" argument. Erm, people ... we HAVE heard about it. Who are the two new coaches who everyone has been unofficially talking about?
