I’d be over joyed with emotion. None of this director of rugby nonsense, just him as head man. It’s an easy win for Lenagan to let Lam go now and at least make Wane caretaker until the seasons end. No coaches comments on Wigan’s official media channels tonight gives me hope.

Shaun Wane has been back at the club for some time.

Spot on.

Wigan is crying out for a fresh approach and somebody who can manage upwards, it’s one thing to coach a team but another to influence the people that hired you.

Correct. From what I’ve been told this afternoon it sounds done although I don’t know specifics .

I imagine I'm like a lot of people: I'd love the idea of a fresh start with a completely different coach, but failing that, I'd take Waney back in a heartbeat. The 'not ideal' is a damn sight better than the bloody awful.

My concern is that we seem to have got worse since he has unofficially returned.

I dunno, That doesn't look like a Shaun Wane side to me.

He's not been out on the training field though, more planning behind the scenes (unless my info is wrong).

I wouldn’t be too concerned tbh. If he’s back, it doesn’t seem to yet be in a capacity of taking training, giving pre/post match team talks etc and until that is the case, his influence will be limited. It could just as easily be that the form is poor because he’s around the club but in the sense that the players are sick of listening to Lam and would prefer Wane to take over immediately.

Correct.

Wane coaches that group of players and we make the last 3 at least.

Under Lam we aren't making the playoffs.

Wane or any other coach wouldn’t want to take charge at the moment.

We hit the ice berg about 4 months ago.

I want Lam out as much as anyone but are we really wanting to go back to a coach we’ve had before when it’s clear that we need fresh eyes and fresh ideas? I was one of those who was happy for Wane to leave. I felt we were going stale and needed a fresh approach. I don’t think we should look back, especially so soon. The obsession of bringing back ex employees is bizarre.

Don’t get me wrong I’d be happy until the end of the season but I don’t believe Wane is who we want permanently. For me it’s Shane Flanagan/Brian Mac all day long.

Wane till the end of the season gives us a chance of making the Grand Final IMO. I agree with others that after that I'd prefer someone new with no previous connection to the club, but for now we can't turn our noses up at Wane if he wants to come. I don't know why he left in the first place though so don't know whether the issue is resolved.
