The last time I heard him speak on the matter he said that "We have not made any signings for next year but that does not mean we will not be making any". It's five months before the start of next season.
He said on GMR on friday we wont be signing anyone.

Which makes the choice of coach even more critical.
Next season
Smith
Hock
Bailey (probably)
will be off the cap compared to this season. Even with upgrades for the likes of Sam T and other youngsters I'm struggling to see us not having space, which begs the question - why is Lenagan saying we will not be signing anyone, especially given the obvious gaps in a couple of key positions?

He wants the club to make a profit?

Perhaps IL is pretty certain he'll get McGuire as coach.
If so they will have discussed the squad in depth by now. It may be McGuire has said he'd prefer to go with what we've got rather than bring in players on 3 year deals who he very soon may not want in his squad.
The win/loss ratio in the 2nd half of the season has been good and if a new coach can get us off to a good start then next season a top four finish could well be possible.

It took Locky 2 years to recover from such an injury fully, Bailey has many more miles on the clock and sadly his age is against him, if we are turning down the chance to go for O'Meley because he has dodgey knees then the same surely applies to re-signing our own.
i can see your point but it does save on signing on fees etc i suppose.

I think he will save any space to maybe pull another Gleeson out of the bag.
Its better to see who the new coach wants really.
Bailey will be staying though.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS
