Can't get used to seeing Briers in Wigan kit Sat up there. Looks weird.

Good move for him though, think he was held back here for some reason I can’t put my finger on.

Was it by spending most of his time playing golf?

Well he obviously wasn’t allowed to coach our attack so maybe playing golf was the best thing for him. I often asked the question what was he actually doing. So either he was not allowed to put his style in it or as you suggest he would rather play golf then yes it is a good move.

Reminds me a little of when Brian Kidd had to leave United to prove himself elsewhere rather than being promoted from within.

Alright Briers is still an assistant but like Kidd he's gone to a smaller club from his home environment

He has found time to have a shave and to get his hair cut, so he must be doing something different.

He needed to move to develop himself as a coach.
Good move for him.

And if he turns out to be the real deal (and it was Price who was the problem all along) then there's nothing to stop him coming back in a few years' time. He wasn't Austin'd by the club, both he and us needed a change and he's left on good terms.
