What a strange situation.

note the comment "he has found it difficult as a new staff member to integrate into the disciplined and already high-performing culture"

at least they dissolved the marriage pdq. good that the club has learned to act quickly.

Leopards and spots.

Discipline and Sean Long isn't a match made in heaven really is it.

I can imagine he is a good coach but somewhere as structured and professional as Wigan isn't for him

Everything about that statement says PUSHED!

The appointment never sat easy with me.

Ouch, I certainly wouldn't want this statement on my CV

'he has found it difficult as a new staff member to integrate into the disciplined and already high-performing culture'

And who in all honesty thought it would end any differently ?

The surprise was the appointment in the first place.

Might not sound as sinister as it does, in Tuesdays Manchester Evening News it said the following.

"Matt Parish (ex Salford coach of 3 months duration) and Sean Long are to team up again. Parish will take charge of Samoa at the World Cup and is set to appoint Long as his assistant "

But it also says later in the article that Long is possibly regretting leaving Salford after being approached by Wigan, It also says that Noble offered him a post at Salford which at the time he turned down.

Agree, and so would many Wigan fans.

Born in Wigan but a Saints legend. He need to come 'home' where he belongs. Never sat easy with me either, it's like the idea of Shaun Edwards coaching Saints ... eww

Someone mentioned on the other Longy thread about his missus or ex missus or something having a pop at him on social media about having a job he hated, maybe it just wasnt what either party where expecting.

What a very odd situation.

I'm sure there's more to this than meets the eye.

I'd imagine the regret bit kicked in when he found he had to do some work.
