Looking back at my post I can fully say that this has been BY FAR the most enjoyable season for many a year.

Back in 1987 we were lucky enough not to have had a playoff system, Wigan were crowned as true Champions having only lost two league games all season, had the 'rugbyposts' not been moved we would also be crowning a Championship win on Friday Evening - but ce la vie.

Wigan this season have possibly been coached as well as (if not better to perform) than Graham Lowe's 1986/1987 team, as Lindsay made signings and they strengthened along the way, whereas we haven't (other than Deacon).

12 months on, i dont think any Wigan fan would disagree that IL made the correct decisions in what he did and the people he appointed.

IL has turned the club around.
Off the field he has put the club on a sound financial basis for now and going forward.
On the field has been beyond any fans expectations.
He took over the club prior to the 2008 season and now in 2010 so many have said we are the most consistent team in SL. We have finished top of the league and going into the play offs in a very good position.
The improvement in 2010 is due to IL appointing MM as club coach and bringing in a new coaching and fitness set up.
Management is about making things happen, IL has made a lot of very good things happen at Wigan.
Well done and thank you Ian Lenagan

Precisely.

He had a big call to make for the future of the club, and the seaosn we've had would suggest he's got it right.

Ironically, though I tended to back him when others were skeptical, I think we should leave off the thanks and congratulations at the present time. He's done a pretty job so far, no question about that, but I feel it's a job that's not even half done yet, and I'm sure he'd say the same.

We've some way to go before we regain our crown, but we're definitely going firmly in the right direction.

That's certainly better than how I put it.

We don't want to jump the gun!

Does this thread ring a bell with Mr Kenny?

I'm sure many will be regretting their comments on this thread.

Excellent post by me on p15 though. **** Smug Mode ****

Classic.

BrettKenny classic post, talking about Riddell and Gleeson, 2 players that ultimately won us the Grand Final

Go on then........................

First page... classic... lol

Just read the lot... I have to say that i was shocked by the vitriol in some of the comments.

If I was being churlish I would say "Well it's not been 3 years on account of MM having bailed out on us and gone back to Aus". However, I won't.

I have on other threads, posted that the gamble on MM has paid off, so I don't really understand your post.

If we are asking ourselves, if MM has been the greatest coach since Monie or Lowe, then the answer is unequivally no.

Now what is your point?
