I thought at the time that these were pretty pathetic comments from Phil Clarke.
By all means, if he didn't feel Wane was right for the job, he should have said so, but he should then have explained why in a coherent way.
Simply to dismiss Wane's many trophy wins as being down to Wigan's spending power was totally inadequate and not even vaguely accurate. This was the salary cap era, and most of the top clubs spent up to it.
If you're going to blithely dismiss the head coach's contribution to several very successful sports campaigns, and not look a total dispstick afterwards, you need to do far, far better than that.
Clarke seems to be following in Stevo's shoes as trying to be Mr Controversial. In that regard, I suppose he's succeeding, but having enjoyed him as a player, as a pundit he's a lesser man to me every time he opens his yap.
