| Not sure the likes of Chris Chester, Dennis Betts, Paul Deacon & Micky Higham will entice stay away supporters to come hurrying back to the DW.
1). The crowds have decreased year on year last few seasons (despite marked improvement in performances & results this season). A big name will no doubt be needed to bring back these supporters. The above won’t bring that in my view.
2). Can you imagine a couple of losses in the first few games? Wigan fans are renowned for their demand of success. This board & Facebook would be in meltdown blaming IL of ‘doing it on the cheap as usual’.
For what it’s worth I wouldn’t be against Deacon in Assistant Coach again.
I’m excited at just the mere possibility that Shaun Edwards ‘may’ be in line. With a good Assistant Coach (Deacon, Tony Smith?) it could work.
He’s the kind of signing that would fill some seats at the DW, which is priority for IL.

What would we give for some good news right now?'"
The character of a team isn't measured by how they ride but how they respond when they fall off!

But real extent of it only became public knowedge over the weekend of the Cup game.
That would certainly explain why Sam both looked and played like an old man.

Good point.
Answer is I don't know. Maybe they heard that something bad was in the wind.
But it seems difficult to disassociate the sudden downturn in form from all this negativity of late.
FWIW, I don't dismiss the Wane news having an impact too.

The early ST, SW rumours and Zac rumours coincide with the period this incident was alleged to have happened. I think you are much nearer the mark that you actually know.
