Quote: 100% Warrior "On the contrary, I don’t see much pressure other than a few disgruntled fans. All he needs to do is improve on last season, which with a point per game average as low as ours isn’t going to be too difficult. Most common sense and level headed Wigan fans will tell you that the squad we have assembled for 2022 isn’t a title or trophy winning squad so expectations in that regard are almost non existent. The year after remains to be seen but that’s when I’d expect us to be realistically challenging again. I am more than happy to be proved wrong on that obviously.
The coaching team is completely different from when Mags left and you know it. That’s an outrageous lie Ruddy. The sole survivor from Mags’ coaching team is Wane. Peet was working in the youth system and had nothing to do with seniors. Even for you that’s an outrageous and blatant lie.
Wane isn’t in charge. Peet is. I can already see what line you’re going to take even if Peet leads us to a clean sweep of everything. Give it a rest.'"
I am well aware that apart from Wane, the 'new' coaching team were not members of the coaching team when Maguire left, but the fact remains that with the exception of Briers replacing Winder, the new coaching team with the exception of Wane, but including Peet and O'Loughlin were members of last season's coaching team under Lam.
And I have never said that Wane is in charge of the 'new' coaching team, only that it is a masterstroke on the part of Lenagan and Radlinski to get Wane to return to the club in whatever capacity they see him doing a useful job for the club.
And as I have also said previously, hopefully, the 'new' coaching team will improve results, return the squad to the level that supporters expect and win trophies again .
Hope that clarifies what I said.
