There's a lot of debate and talk going on, players missing, for some reason injury, suspension or face doesn't fit. The simple action of accountably and effort in senior players is very worrying. They can seem to get away with very poor games. Tommy, Sam Powell, Isa, TC, NEEDS TO GO another with a few more. Harry S needs help, along with the rest of young players. Without help these young players could seriously affect their careers. If Tommy can't guide us through this stretch, i would seriously question any future coaching role! IL and KR need their decisions about directions of all aspects of club to firmly is club based and not personal based. Adrian was in wrong place in the wrong time for the job. Instead of getting somebody who can stand up to board and players, and be prepare players for each game, and who can ADJUST in the game to opposition or weather or score. The next 6-8 players to come in the 2-3 seasons needs to be hits. Build around Bateman and Farrell, hopefully the marine will recover his form. And forget about signing ex Wigan players from anywhere esp. Aus. The game is simply run your lines, passing and catching, moving around for openings and defending your patch and covering your team mates as well. Only been a fan for about 15 years, i don't know everything about the game. United as club from top to bottom we will be back as WIGAN, if we don.t it certainly be playing catch up with rest of the league. Encourage the players but make them accountable, that includes the club as well. Go Wigan.

He (Lam) definitely did say that.

Like many have said, it's an easy one to put to bed. If he can't be recalled, then that's fair enough, but why don't they just say either way.

It's the little things that start to pee people off.

Lam definitely confirmed at one point that he could be recalled. He either got that wrong, really doesn’t rate him to the point where he’d rather keep shuffling players around or we can’t fit him under the cap.

I fully realise that I sound like a broken record, but the whole situation makes zero sense.

He signed a new deal before we went out on loan, that must mean that someone thought he had a use. Now that someone might not be Lam, but it doesn't paint a good picture of everything being joined up. I'll fully accept that I can't be wrong, but sometimes perception is almost as important as the real thing - especially to outsiders/recruits coming in.

It's one example of how poor our recruitment is. Over stacked in some positions, undercooked in others and players on contracts that don't make sense - Clubb, Hank, 3 years for some guys etc.

So why are Lam and Hankinson himself seemingly under the impression that he can be recalled? All Lam or Hankinson have to say when questioned are that he can't be recalled, yet Lam's response back in March was "we haven't talked about that yet." Hankinson's responses to people who have asked him directly and responses on social media suggest he believes he can be recalled. Matthew Shaw seems relatively well connected and it seems highly likely the comment in the article confirming Hankinson can be recalled at any time came from a source who would know the answer.

Whether Hank can be recalled or not is irrelevant. It’s a red herring here. The one thing that could reignite our season is the sacking of our hopelessly lost coach immediately. There’s patently no guarantee that it will reignite our season but it can’t get much worse.

I’ve been banging this drum since the end of 2019. He wasn’t the coach for us then, he still isn’t now. I just can’t believe IL believes (or seemingly believes) he is.
