I would agree if I knew for certain that he really wants to be here, nothing he has said gives me that impression, furthermore I would always be nervous that if the dark side came knocking at his door he would be off like a shot, leaving us in the cack without even a shed of remorse from the mercenary Mr Edwards.

Spot on this. Not making ANY player or coach sign a contract is like daring them to change their mind. This is especially true when there is quite a long gap between them joining the club.

The simple fact is that Lenegan should not of been parading Edwards if he had not signed a contract. He should of just announced Lam on a one year trial and left the Edwards announcement until mid season this year and he was signed to a contract.

“My heads mashed, I need a holiday and space & time to think. But I’ll do a newspaper interview with The Sunday Times.”

Get this pr!ck dropped and move on.
Love the club & town, my . You’re nothing more than a greedy southerner with a Wigan accent. I don’t want someone who disrespects my club, anywhere near my club, ever again.
Bore off with your half d effort to get away from the commitment you made. Grow a pair and just tell everyone what you want.

It’s ok though, because he ‘respects everything IL has done at Wigan’.

If people were't convinced that Shaun Edwards is a dirty little sneak who should never darken Wigan's doors again, they ought to be after this interview. It practically screams 'England come and get me! I'm all yours!' I've never read an interview with any sports personality as pathetically self-serving as this. https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/rugby- ... -1-9668857

If a contact was drawn and signed he couldn't just up and leave. It would have to be with the agreement of the club. The non-signature is the main issue.

But I agree, it does seem th'owd Shaun would prefer a trip to Twickers at the weekend.

Reflects very poorly on the ex-legend. Surely it's OK to call him that now?

I think the phrase we are looking for is he has 's*** his hole full'.

I can sort of see why IL hasn't closed the matter yet - wouldn't put it past SE to claim he had his contract broken if things don't work out on the dark side - but we should be sounding out whoever will be here in 2020 now.

Disappointing the SE has gone down this route, but we can't make him come. We could do without seeing him down here for a while though.

One or two might have an issue, but they have fewer numbers each day, I suspect.

I'd love Edwards never to receive the phone-call he is so desperately awaiting from England RU, come back to us with his tail between his legs and then get a big V-sign from Ian Lenagan. Sadly, I suspect our chairman is too nice a bloke.

Wasps have confirmed they’re waiting to talk to him after his holidays as well. I really hope we wrap it all up this week and confirm we have withdrawn our offer and will instead be looking at other options, starting with giving Lam the chance to cement the job (presuming he wants it long term).

The team needs investment but we’ve got some talent in there still.

Well it looks on face value to be all over bar the shouting I just hope Lenegan gives him till say Wednesday and calls a halt to it if Edwards hasn’t by then

I wonder if this little Snake has the phone number of Brett Kenny so he can ring to apologise..
