Fantastic Mr Catpiss wrote:the king to you guys thing is a weird one, i was hoping that he'd come back and there would be a smoothing over leading in pre season and a blank slate, or him moving on full time, but to be sent out on loan next year, and for it to be announced this early, while he's still on loan somewhere else. following watson's statement, sounds a bit of a dick move in hindsight, and have we done this not realising it would jeopardize any conversation regarding us signing wardle full time?
Just seems like a cluster cuss to me, and makes no sense at all.
I think Wire are hedging their bets.
If Powell doesn’t hit the ground running next season then he’s gone.
A new coach may want to work with King.
That option is open beyond 23 if that happens.
King won’t work with Powell, just like Wardle and Watson won’t work together unless something changes significantly.
I’m still of the opinion Wardle will be at Wigan next year and that has been sorted for some time.
I did wonder if the King move may have jeopardised it due to some deal being struck in the background but that clearly not the case after the latest whinge from Powell.
