Wigan Warriors • Re: Sky Sports
To refresh minds, he doubted that Wane was the man for the England job. No argument with him there. I personally rate Shaun Wane's coaching skills, but everyone can make their own mind up whether he's international standard or not. It was what followed that was outrageous. Carney contended that Wane had won several trophies while coaching Wigan, to which Clarke responded with the blatant lie that this was because Wigan had spent more money than anyone else.
I don't know whether they were all too gobsmacked to respond, but I literally remember no one tackling him for that. Remember, this was in the near-enough here and now, deep in the era of the Salary Cap.
How he could criticise one of the British game's most respected professionals, and then offer THAT as an explanation still beggars belief.
