Good news IMO and a good deal with the 2nd year option.
Well done IL.
'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.' Shaun Wane's post-Grand Final speech. 5th October 2013.
IL language is a little dissapointing, it's like he has just read the stats and knows nothing of the man. Good in defence (tackles made/missed ratio), good strike rate and not missed many games.
Is this managment by speadsheet? On the otherhand, does this suggest that the coach maybe allowed to get on with his job by a manager who accepts his lack of technical skills?

Sorry, but what do you expect in a press release - a detailed breakdown of all George's strengths and weaknesses? What could he say that would be more accurate and concise than "he has performed consistently well for us"?

So you assume that is all the thought and consideration IL put into this based based on a paragraph in the press release?
Given the way the deal is structured it seems to me a great deal of thought has been put into this deal.
It is ideal IMO and IL should be complimented on putting together a deal that doesn't tie us to holding onto a player if things don't work out but gives us the breathing space to get the likely replacements up to speed and decide which ones are going to get his shirt eventually.
How on earth you can even consider he knows nothing of the man is beyond me.
I don't always agree with how IL goes about things but he seems to have got this one bang on. I fail to see the down side.

Did you switch into must find fault mode for that post?
