Quote Perfect Pimbletts Pies="Perfect Pimbletts Pies"yes - but he shouldn't be granted a work permit. there are plenty of unemployed average UK coaches/assistant coaches who can do an average job for an average team.....
Also - he has had bad advice. Wigan is a coaching graveyard. Very few go on to coach anywhere else at the the top level.'"
That's because once you leave Wigan, the only way is down.
Anyway, Wigan are aiming high. They want the best and this chap has been lauded as the next Wayne Bennett in some circles, and as a future great in others. Craig Bellamy sings his praises in [url=http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/sport/nrl/story/0,26746,23170656-5003409,00.htmlthis article[/url.
Quote Perfect Pimbletts Pies"I have no doubt Michael will be a head coach at some stage. Whether it is now or in the future, he has all the traits required to be successful. I probably haven't given him the raps he deserves to be honest, but he is very important to what we do. He is extremely thorough, he is a very hard worker and extremely passionate about what he does. He is always looking to improve himself and looking for new or better ways to do things and he is good at getting his message across. I don't know how long an apprenticeship you need to serve these days. But he has a burning ambition to be a first grade coach and if he ever got offered a post I wouldn't stand in his way."'"
I'm dead set against too many imports in the SL, and would love a team of locals and an English, or ideally a Wigan coach in the job, but the fact is Maguire has coached at the champion team in the NRL for several years and comes with a pretty damn good pedigree.
Oh, and we own the RFL.
