Finally made it to the BBC (bearing in mind this happened well over 3 weeks ago). I also posted this on Page 64 of the Rumours / Signings thread. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 111852.stm

Shocking.


Tbh I have seen NOTHING from the new "Wigan Management" that fills me with any hope whatsoever. It's one embarassing foul up after another.

One can only imagine the garbage being spewed on here if Uncle Mo had made such a faux pas.

I agree.

Lenagan has performed poorly thus far as chairman of the club.

To be honest, Mo's faux pas was somewhat more serious - it involved breaching the salary cap to such an extent that we almost got penalised into relegation.

Short of gagging people in both hemispheres of the world, I'm not really sure how we expect the club to prevent it getting out that they're in the market for a new coach.

Some absolute pish being posted on here. Wiganers are really going for that leyther crown of Britain's most miserable moaners.

Exactly if were after a coach and he declines the position and makes it public what can we do, I'm not that bothered this has got out, it would of course been better if it hadn't but I'm more ed about selling the mascot positions.

The same thing struck me. The NZ RL wanted to end any rumours surrounding their national coach so they made the story public. Also, his agent wants to make it clear he's available to coach in the NRL. There's no contract in place so I'm not sure how the club can stop them talking.

I'd doubt the story was leaked by Wigan, as others above have said.

We need a new coach so we need to speak to people. If the news is leaked at their end, there's not a great deal we can do about it.

Sorry so what actually has IL done wrong here?

He’s got a majorly underperforming coach who couldn’t keep order in an under 10’s RL side rather than Wigan RL.

So he’s gone to get one of the major up and coming coaching talents in the world and he’s been slated for it?

Add to that it’s not him but the NZRL who have released that Wigan have gone for Kearney but yet IL is getting a kicking from the fans for it??

The NZRL are just trying to save some face after losing their past two head coaches to SL and are happy to tell the world that he’s turned down the famous Wigan RL for them. It’s a complete PR spin exercise for them.

So what is IL supposed to do in the future? Does he not got for a world class coach again just so he doesn’t get knocked back and get slatted by the fans.

Get a grip FFS he’s trying to bring in some serious talent to Wigan which is what everyone has been calling for.

I think its great that it got out by whatever method as it must ensure BN's position is untenable at the club after this year.

If Hull or Bradford can identify some top coaches from the NRL I think he may very well struggle to get a seat in the near future as well, which i do not wish on him by the way.

Dont be soft.

Sh*t happens....

I think it sends a good message out to the true fans if anything. The chairman has acknowledged that a change is needed to take this club forward. My fear at the moment is that we do not manage to find a suitable candidate to replace Noble and the chairman has no choice but to keep him here.

Good post

Thanks

You need to understand that when things aren't entirely tickety boo at Wigan, the fans will moan about anything and everything. It's what we do
