Time to act like a professional sports club, there's no room for sentiment with a salary cap

Spot on.

Fully Agree. Unfortunately the offers to these players have been made.

Wigan's equivalent of Clough is Tuson , he has done nothing wrong
and isn't on megabucks but has been moved on to Wakey.

because Wigan want to freshen things up and give other players
youngsters a go.

Sometimes you need to be ruthless.

Gardner in particular has been well looked after for far too long
for basically a "Dave Tanner".

Wello and Gardner have done nothing to deserve a new contract, laffranchi either

I'll be very interested to see what role wello will play next year.

If he is still in our full strength 17 then there is something seriously wrong and I'd question just who is making the decisions.

At a push he can get away with playing fullback but he can't play anywhere else. He can't be a utility player as they cover more than one position and he can't.

He should have retired at the end of last season.

OOC: Nathan Ashe, Mark Flanagan, Ade Gardner, Joe Greenwood, Josh Perry, Dominic Speakman, Adam Swift, James Tilley, Paul Wellens, Dan Yates

Only Swift I'm really bothered about from all them. Flanagan and Greenwood for Squad plates maybe but not as starting players.

I don't think he should anywhere near.

I hope Brown sends out a signal of intent at the start of the season and takes the no.1 shirt off him. Sentimentality will mean he won't do it though.

has Lafranchi's extention been confirmed by the club yet?

Not that I've noticed.
