What i meant was when we signed noble, he was under contract at bradford, so we would have had to pay compensation to bradford. And out of work coaches are usually out of work for a reason.
That is what i meant by pay for a coach. Hope that clears it up.
It's certainly true that, thus far, Ian Lenagan doesn't seem keen to pay compo or transfer fees - though we don't know that for a fact. If the right person came along, I hope he'd put his hand in his pocket. I certainly hope so where a new coach is concerned, because you're right, there aren't too many top quality men knocking around out of work at present.
I don't think cheap options are really viable when you're talking about filling the role of head-coach at Wigan RL. This is one of the biggest jobs in the game and, given that the salary cap doesn't apply to it, theoretically money should not be an issue - unless the asking price is totally ridiculous of course.
