How many have your lot flogged?

I asked the question to AP on FC Live, if Andy Hay would be replaced?

He stated Radford would absorb Hay's role & duties, in other words - not replaced.

Coaching staff is one role ,that has no restrictions on spend.

Wigan have 4/5 coaching staff for each team, 1st, Under 19's, Under 16's. by my maths thats 15 members of staff.

How many have we got??

Well if that's the case, we may as well sign Tom Saxton and Fili Seru as our coaching team then!

I'm all for any ex player taking the helm of a professional club, but come on, none of the 3 mentioned have had a stint as assistant coaches at a successful club. Anderson and Wayne cut their cloth under decent coaches.

This all seems similar to wire giving Jimmy Lowes the head coach job, only for him to be bailed out by Smith.

I'll admit i was wrong if all goes well next season, but I just can't see it.

Why the Horne slagging?

He's been an outstanding servant for us, he has terrorised defences year in year out.

Not bad for a rovers fan eh?

We need to get off to a good start in 2014, but really can't see us being in a relegation battle, the recruitment for 2014 was all but done before PG was given the bullet (and we may have dodged one on the proposed Mika signing). Don't forget Radford was in sole control of coaching the defence last season so in that area we are already solid (Hudds playoff & Saints at home aside) so if we can improve our attack who knows, I think 6th again.

Is Arthur Bunting available?

You have to be joking? You are James Clarke, I'll claim my 5 quid!

I agree,most coaches tend to have been average players,probably ellery hanley would be an exception but as you say brian and tony smith,daryl powell,mark aston,shaun wane,paul anderson, even richard agar all better coaches than they were players so hard to predict how radford will do with his limited coaching experience.

The A teamers.

In 2013 a crap coaching unit was sent to the KC by a chairman who knew nothing about RL. These men promptly fail to deliver the big promises and had some lucky escapes. Today that unit will be replace by men that will not cost a fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Teamers.

Staring

Lee Radford as H.M. Murdock

Andy Last as John "Hannibal" Smith

Richard Horne as Templeton "Faceman" Peck

And Paul Cooke as Bosco Albert "B.A." Baracus

D3ICIV3

Some very good players have been pretty poor coaches - Alex Murphy, Andy Gregory, Garry Schofield - and as others have pointed out, some pretty average players have become very good coaches.

The reality is that Raford is an unkwown quantity. He could be a very good coach or he could be a disaster.

Only one way to find out...

Good try, but spelling isn't your strong point, is it?

I aint signing no contract fool!!

I take it that was meant to be a clever play on BEL13VE, but by typing D3ICIV3. Only you've spelt deceive wrong. Not bad otherwise,

I wish you would all "get some nuts"

Buy a dictionary before you try to be clever, numpty
