Was basically forced out as many of the first team squad weren't happy with his appoimtment and refused to work with him. Wane told him he wasn't to have any involvement with the first team squad, he wasn't happy with this so demanded talks with lenegan and rads who obviously sided with Wane. Quite unprofessional from the club if you ask me.

I saw Longy up at Orrell chatting to Deacs in the stand before the last U19s fixture up there.

Quote: No1 Saint "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'"


Nothing to do with Saints... The guy is clearly a loose canon...

It'll be Wane/IL's fault.

Sounds like it could be a pinball end to his RL career bouncing from job to job. I’ve no idea who’s to blame but it sounds like an awful lot of dummies have been spat out, and not just by Long.

Told us what exactly??? You have absoulutely no idea why he has left the club. Theres people on here as per usual sticking the boot in with no facts.

When I first saw the bit about a disciplined club in the statement about Longs departure and it alluding to a reason why he has gone. Should have been a surprise but it is far from that in his case.

My only concern is whoever thought this was a good idea is still at the club. Strangest bit of recruitment since the Millward era.

Bad appointment? Again, you have no idea why he has left the club and what the reasons are. For all you know, it could be something personal, or something else. In fact, it could be literally anything. Dont stick the boot into the bloke until you know the facts, which you dont.

The press release says it all really. They could have said "personal reasons", or "a better job elsewhere", or pretty much anything non-committal, but they chose to highlight the discipline/culture clash and nothing else.
Lots of people at the time thought it was a strange appointment for precisely that reason, so it's not hindsight.
