Andy last made us look better than radford but was an absolute disaster as head coach at cas. I just think we need someone new to the club with no legacy from the smith (or prior) era

Think the longer this rumbles on the more chance Grix has.

Signing a full squad of players without a coach in place must be a tricky sell to players too.

If we go this route, which it looks like we will, it gives the coach an out. Let say we assemble a top 6 squad on paper, and we finish 10th, can the coach turn round and say 'these aren't my players'.

Maybe I'm being a bit of a drama queen, but time feels like it's against us. I'd like a new coach announced before the end of the month so he can work with Myler. Doesn't feel like that will happen with the club saying they are going to take their time..... which leaves all the recruitment to Myler and a group of coaches advising who won't be the ones expected to get results

Also just feel like we're going to get played by Lam so he gets a better deal at Leigh

All well and good and I’m not adverse to him BUT do you let him have the job for this season and try to recruit a head coach for next year, letting him get his own squad together?
OR tell him he’s got the gig then find out he’s not good enough and run around like headless chickens trying to get someone in sharpish. Chicken and eggs scenario. Damnded if you do, damned if you don’t. Personally I’d like to get someone sorted, give Grix the Academy set up and assistant role. IF that’s acceptable to him. Think there’s mileage in the Rowley story yet unless it’s Lam, would explain why we’re raiding Leigh. Who’d be an FC supporter.

We can't just give the job to Grix because he's here already, we have to give it to him if he's the best available candidate out of all those that were interviewed/approached for the role. This next coaching appointment is make or break for the club, get it wrong again and the 50 point drubbings are still prevalent and many fans will give up regardless of "in any kinda weather" get it right and we could have a successful base for years to come. My personal view is to keep Grix on as an assistant to learn under better mentors than Smith/Gene, and if he's good enough then he can go for the job in a couple of years.

Ever since the email from the Club I’ve had this feeling that we are at the start of a Revolution !
3 marquee players and a full Salary Cap ? Is that correct ?

As per Dentist post - let’s hurry the fook up and announce already who is The Cash Man, and how much of the Club he bought off Adam.

I’m saying Grix may be worth a punt as he has supervised the last 2 matches where though well beaten we look like an RL team. Granted we have some better players available but we will have next season too. Who is to say Rowley or whoever would do better - it’s an unknown. So unless we don’t progress further I would stick with Grix. The London game may be a clue as to the wisdom of my suggestion

But he's also been part of a coaching team where we've served up lots of unacceptable performances. Teams often show improvement when coaches are sacked and an interim coach is on place like when Lasty was in charge or where Warrington sacked Powell and Gary chambers was interim coach, doesn't mean they're the right person for the job, they've just steadied that ship slightly

Difference for me this time is we have a (seemingly) determined DOR making the choice and not Adam with a Hail Mary.

Dont know what to make of the Asiata statement on the Leigh website.

Mountain molehill

Chan announced on an initial 2 week loan deal. Could see him staying most of the season unless Wigan have some monster injuries

You can’t reject by association. That’s unfair on him. If he progresses us the rest of season why pick anyone else? What can he do if it’s normal for teams to pick up after a coach is sacked! As I say the next few games will tell us if he deserves the job so let’s keep him on the shortlist. So far I’d keep him

Myler's first presser today

He also spoke about Whitehead

“No, Elliott is not one I’ve spoken to on a contract level,” Myler revealed.

“He touched base about an assistant coach he knew that was looking for a job who he knew, that’s as far as that went. If he wants to come back to England we’d be interested in a conversation. He’s that mould of leader and high-performing individual we’d be interested in.”
