Dan Sarginson: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to join the biggest name in the competition" 18/10/2013 Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013 Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg



As Dave has said, if it's already sorted, it might be better for the club, players and fans to know, unless it means signing someone who has yet to leave a job.
Most employees in a business work better when the future is mapped out, and any upset or confusion is bound to affect confidence, motivation and performance.

No need to panic!'"


I'm not panicking. I'm with DaveO on this one, IL should make an announcement and tell us who will be in charge next season, or if no-one has been appointed how far along the process for appointing a head coach will be.

I'm sorry but it doesn't make sense every 'player and agent in RL' knowing who the head coach for 2012 is and it not leaking out. That is unless IFL has taken out an injunction, which is highly inprobable.

Just make an announcement, have we hired a head coach or how close are we to doing so.

The thing is, if the new coach is sorted I really don't see what the club gains by delaying any announcement. Speculation can only causes unrest with the fans and, more importantly, the players. It does more harm than good to keep everyone in the dark for this amount of time

People keep saying it would leak out if people knew, now am I just being dumb but was the Wane Sculthorpe combination not been leaking out for the last 2 weeks?

That's the one thing about Wigan fans I never understood even in the good times they always look to next season, the next signing, the next nit of big news.

And they have a genius for finding things to worry about.

Quote: Cruncher "And they have a genius for finding things to worry about.'"


Don't get me wrong, I'm not worrying. I trust IL 100% to make the right appointment. All I'm saying is that if the club has indeed already made the appointment they would have nothing whatsoever to gain from trying to keep it under wraps. In fact, I can't think of any logical reason for doing so

But if the appointment is coming from in house is it not conceivable that at least to the fans the coaching dynamic this year could be seen to shift possibly?

If we win our game in hand we are top of the league, we have a massive derrby game tonight still in the cup with a massive game ahead, we are on the verge of Hock, Fielden returning and still some are stressing about next year? I have no doubt within a month or two of it being announced along with any new signings some will be looking to 2013.

I sympathise with this viewpoint, but as Jon says, now is not the time for us to be holding press conferences about next year.

And I've heard this so many times before - "there is no logical reason" for this not to be announced.

What does this mean exactly - that Wigan are deliberately being illogical? That IL is sitting around laughing, saying "I've no reason for not announcing this, but I'm not going to announce it anyway." That's an illogical viewpoint to take.

We - or rather some of us - went through this kind of angst after Noble didn't get a new contract. There were people demanding to know what was going on, calling for IL's head. Again, there was "no logical reason for not telling us what was happening". Except that there was - we were going through the complex process of seeking out and appointing one of the best young coaches in the world, and IL didn't want to tell us until it was signed, sealed and delivered.

I also want to comment on the "if it was sorted, we'd have heard about it on the grapevine" argument. Erm, people ... we HAVE heard about it. Who are the two new coaches who everyone has been unofficially talking about?
