It is my conclusion given Melbourne have practically ruled out McGuire leaving them.

More rumours please

Have you got a link for that, because I've not seen it anywhere.

Surely it's more a case of has Wane got the right coaching credentials to take the club forward and onto the next level? Yes he's done a great job with the junior set-up, is he the right man for the 1st team, I don't think so.

Will he get the job? Possibly, it really feels like he won't be our number one choice, not because our 1st choice isn't available but because we haven't got the money to pay for him or have the ability to find the money to pay for whoever our 1st choice is. Ultimately it's down to £'s and I don't think we've got it to spend.

From League Express - Storm CEO Brian WaldronNot that im aware of, he'd have told us.

Our attitude with our assistant coaches is were happy for them to move to senior roles, but we spoke to Michael last week about next year and he showed no indication of being anywhere other than Melbourne'"

Thnx for that AJ, well that certainly adds another twist to the story but then again it wouldn't be the first time a coach hasn't informed his club of the situation, just look at are own club, Noble doesn't really know for definite whether he's coming or going due to poor communication.

Plus McGuire may have been told to keep it under wraps by Lenegan until he's given the go ahead to make it public.

Im not sure IL asking a new man to lie to his current employers is the way he would go about his business?

So you're conclusion that, if Wigan promote Shaun Wane it's a sign that we've failed to get someone good, and that we fans will be kept in the dark about the truth and fed a pack of lies, is based entirely on a vague statement from the Storm boss that Mike McGuire may still be at Melbourne next year?

That's negative spin by any standards.

Wigan not getting Michael McGuire is not necessarily a sign that we've messed up. We know there are issues regarding McGuire's visa. There may also be issues regarding unrealistic wage demands. Suppose we were never actually in for McGuire? As far as I'm aware, we've never formally identified him as a target. Rumourists have, but by the same token rumourists have mentioned that we were after promoting Shaun Wane. And that story was doing the rounds long before the McGuire one was.

Lots of folk are very, very impressed with Shaun Wane's coaching skills, but why let that reality get in the way of another big whinge?

Personally, I'd prefer McGuire to Shaun Wane. But I rate Wane pretty highly. I certainly wouldn't bracket myself with this predictable bunch of posters who suddenly - for some mysterious reason - are having grave doubts about him.

Well it's not professional at all is it, but Lenegan stringing Noble on and on isn't professional either.

How do you know he has done?

And what do you think about Noble looking for jobs at other clubs whilst serving as head-coach at Wigan?

How professional is that?

Please answer the latter question, because I keep raising this point and none of the pro-Noble mob seem keen to take me up on it.

Well let me start of by saying I'm in no way pro Noble, if honest both parties are to blame if what's being said is true, if Noble was courting for jobs whilst at Wigan then yes that is bang out of order, but so is the fact that Lenegan has yet to tell Noble where he stands for 2010. Of course neither of us no what has truly gone on but this is a forum where people will comment on rumor.

Now I would call neither of Noble's or Lenegan's actions professioal in how they've dealt with the situation but sadly it's done, it beggars the question though Is Lenegan keeping Noble in the dark because of what has happened in the past.

How do you know?

I ask the question because there are strong rumours that this isn't the case at all. That Noble has been looking for some time, and that the delay is down to him making a choice.

IMO yes, Kearney was clearly a target we failed to get, rumours have been rife about McGuire from a whole manner of media types, even where one said he had been interviewed, so at no time has Wane been first choice. Who mentioned lies? You do love to exaggerate your point dont you, although you failed to mention DW in this one. Id hardly call the statement vague, its pretty to the point imo.



Well, what do you expect, you do more than enough cheerleading for the positive bunch 2.0458984375:10
