hmmm maguire allowed to leave early the same time as Bennett wants a new challenge

There is. Caving in and letting him leave. No one forced his hand to be here. He made a commitment and the idea as soon as anyone fancies leaving we may as well let them go makes the entire operation of the game from an employment point of view a farce. Especially when its just for a different job they now fancy more than their current one. Contracts are short and he isn't being held back by being here or anything like that.

If there is anything in this rumour and Madge has signed on the dotted line for another club then he has been negotiating this for some time already, hardly into his second year here. Noble was slagged off for sounding out other jobs by some on here but at least he had the excuse IL was refusing to tell him if he had a future here. To me it seems out of character for Madge to have done the same thing so I am still treating this as a mischievous rumour but if its not, well then he will have lost the respect of many fans I think.

We were a lot better team before him, he has made us into a rubbish side. I think he just needs to stay and learn his trade for a few more years, see if he can make us into a decent side and then leave. But I would be doing all you can to put him off coming to you, you will only have Grand Finals and WCC to look forward to, just average!

He indeed does which means he isn't breaking the contract by moving on.

This.

Interesting, he actually stated his next challenge would involve leaving his family for 2/3 years or something like that.

I cant think of anything that would give him a new challenge in Aussie..hes done the lot

Hasn't Bennett already agreed to return to Brisbane next year? Definitely I read that somewhere because he's appearently taking Darrius Boyd with him

i'd rather wane take over if MM is to leave next season, over bennett.

That makes it all fine then! How do you know by the way that he has this clause? Was it mentioned in the press anytime?

Western Australia Today claim that Madge has a get-out clause in his contract so could return to Aus in 2012.

Personally I'd be disappointed if he left, but Ian Lenagan has said that he wants to get procedures in place to ensure continuity of coaching. I wouldn't see this as the disaster that some people think it would be. I also heard that Mrs Maguire is working with the British Olympic Committee and has a role for the upcoming games here in 2012.

He has reasons to stay and reasons to go and at the end of the day he will make the right decision for himself and his family but I'm sure it wont be an easy one.

Dave, surely you're not so naive to believe that Wigan or Maguire would inform the press of every detail of his contract?

imo wane would struggle to manage a successful side on a regular week to week basis as he is more of a typical assistant coach who normally motivates the side,does he possess the tactical knowledge required to coach wigan?
only time will tell,but i dont

100% record last year (v Hull and Leeds away).
Every player I know who has played under Wane loves Him. They all tell you the same, the man is brutally honest and they would trust him with their lives.
