Of course he turned you down, you made an official approach and he decided to stay at Wigan.
He said he wanted to stick to his commitment to Wigan and didn't want to speak to us. Who knows if he'd even have been offered the job?
What did they want to speak to him about like, the weather?
Of course he turned youd down, you asked to speak to him , he said no
Obviosly not because he doesn't find it an attractive club like, because it is.
