| I guess you guys are just going to have to wait and see, Edwards has said he hasn't signed, not that he isn't going to.

I think the new Wales coaches comments confirms Edwards has been tying himself up in a few knots telling porkies here and there. That’s not to say Wigan are blameless as you don’t say somebody has signed a contract when they’ve not but there’s no way Edwards is a victim in all this. It’s clear the bloke has tried to use us as a fall back option in case nothing better came along IMO. That’s pretty poor form from somebody who is still seen as a hero to many around these parts.

I haven't commented so far but privately in discussion with others my first reaction was that no-one looks good or comes out of this with any credit.
What I will say though is I echo your sentiments about our own "Fans". As you said the other day in one reply about posters who have tried to criticise the running of the club, Wane, KR, IL, etc for the past 5/6 years they "May" actually be right for once.
But I wouldn't guarantee it, and as I say now and again, even a blind squirrel will find nuts once in a while if it tries hard enough.

I'm not sure it would be that easy for him to coach Wigan now. Every time he picked up the phone, we'd be wondering if he was after another another job. We had enough of that with Nobby (and he was another one who immediately took his grievances to the press).

| Here here. Edwards has ruined his legacy at Wigan by manipulating us like this. We should move on, sod him.

Quote: Rogues Gallery "Does a verbal agreement not count legally?
Serious question.
I don't believe for one minute that there has been no communication for months between Edwards, Lenangan, Lam and Radlinski.'"
I really hope that it doesn't come down to going to court, it would do neither party any good.

So, by 'time to think' does he actually mean 'time to see if the England job actually appears'?
This is all pretty depressing.

| The more i see this unfold the more i think my source was on the money.
Wigan didnt have him sign a contract. Why on Earth not? But they announce he had signed a 3 year contract
Edwards now says he needs more time despite parading around in a Wigan polo and acting like it was all a done deal.
Seems to me like both sides are now crossed chocolate.

I don't understand Shaun if all this is to be believed. Why say there was no contract signed if there was? It's a matter of legality, what was he thinking? He's a Wigan legend, he's literally running the risk of throwing it all away for what? If he didn't want the job, shouldn't have just declined the offer from the get-go and kept his dignity.
I just want this matter over and done with so we can begin to find who will coach us in 2020.
Does anyone have Shaun Wane's number?

There was no contract signed. Thats pretty much concrete now.
"I actually haven’t signed a contract with Wigan but I’ve been conversing with the chairman and we’ll probably make a press statement over the next few days."
He wouldnt keep saying it if he had.
