Quote: Cruncher "First, here's the 'glass half empty' fan's response (just thought I'd get this in before one of them actually does).
Edwards - Too long out of the game.
Farrell - Messed up his big coaching chance with England RU.
Ford - Mismanaged Sam Burgess.
Deacon - Betrayed us.
Lam - There are rumours about mysterious off-field behaviour that make him totally the wrong choice.
Furner - Would rather be at Leeds.
Madge - Left last time at the first opportunity.
Bennett - Has already said no.
Now, here are my thoughts.
Edwards - Yes, any time. He still lives and breathes Wigan RL, and is a scholar of the game.
Farrell - Unsure. Suspect he would want equally big money to Edwards, but has a less impressive coaching record in RU.
Ford - Unsure. Don't follow RU sifficiently to know how successful he's been, and it's true - he didn't come over well during the Sam Burgess debacle (would also probably mean that we could never sign Sam).
Deacon - Don't know. Has he got what it takes?
Lam - Yes, any time. Another big Wigan guy, who has earned big notices down in Aus.
Furner - Don't know.
Madge - Yes, any time.Though I doubt it will happen.
Bennett - Ditto.'"
Edwards would be my man, but Obvs cash is the issue.
Lam, Yeah, I remember some stuff back in the early 2000's but nothing came of it and hasn't since so it was either paid off or didn't happen, but i thought he would be a good coach but maybe not the head.
I would love to have Maguire back also, just the discipline and the change he made. He changed SL.
Maguire reminds me of Edwards, with the commitment and determination.
The Missus told me that Edwards would get of the bus and race it to the next stop, i said, yeah that's Edwards.
