Careful Rogues, you're almost sounding as desperate as Wane here!

What is with you lot needing to talk about the good old days all the time?

Ah, OK, That's a little bit of a stretch. Still a good side, though, if not as strong as the 1994 one.

Where have you been me owd stocking top?
Have missed your words of wisdom.
Not heard from you since before your team was going to scrag the convicts coached by a thug who encourages 3 man tackles.

Bigging up one player at the expense of another is poor. Another case of Wane needing to engage the brain before opening his mouth?

As to Manfredi, whatever it is Wane thinks he can do better than Josh he won't get a chance to show it if he gets as little of the ball as Josh does.

Anybody want a Forum talking about the old days count me in.

Haha

I need to change my user name. Lazarus has just been brought back from the dead.

Far too easy

I've been nowhere old chap.

And it wasn't a bite, it was me laughing at you.

It does seem an unusual people management style. Charnley is probably feeling a bit down from his lack of form and then an injury, to then read this ... well I suppose it takes all sorts

Don't get sucked into this guy's dislike of Shaun Wane. Every chance he gets he sticks the knife in.

Waney's management style may not be your cup of tea, but it has proven to be successful. I can't believe the criticism sometimes on here. We're not dealing with some 'wet behind the ears' coach fresh into the job. Wane has served his apprenticeship at the club and knows the players inside and out.

How he deals with Josh will be the result of him knowing Josh for many years. People who haven't even met Josh are feeling free to comment. Maybe after Josh's indifferent start to the season it is his way of putting a rocket under him.

I'd rather his style of management than the rather obsequious style of football managers who are so sycophantic they daren't ever say anything considered negative for fear of falling out with their little darlings. At Wigan it is Wane's way (actually I'd love to see SW manage Man City - "You want a f***** birthday cake?!!!").

I think his track record deserves our respect and our support.

Nevertheless, it is of a piece with Wane's unflattering comments about Charnley when he was out for quite a while (beginning of last season, was it?) before, saying he needed to improve his defence, etc.

So maybe Wane knew a thing or two. Of course it's not reasonable at the moment to admit that is it? I see a 3 page thread on the Saints forum absolutely ripping into him. He must be the most hated man in RL. I don't think it's too much to expect a bit of loyalty from his own fans. As I said previously, it's not like he hasn't earned it. We've lost two league games and the knives are out for the guy. Such short memories - viewtopic.php?f=28&t=559650
