We’ve got a team who won the Grand Final who were in breach of the salary cap at that time.
Reading between the lines, although we have a live cap these payments were not declared by the club, so were not taken into account at the time. I’m guessing it’s similar to the Salford situation when payments were made to players via other companies associated with the club and then discovered later, but I’m just speculating.'"
No because the payments relate to the 2017 season in which Wigan won nothing. |

Is this even serious? You do realise the principle that you can't be held accountable for someone else's wrongdoings is a basic tenet of any justice system, don't you? Or would you just like to make an exception in Wigan's case 'cos it's not fair and I hate you!"  |

It’s not someone else’s wrongdoings. It’s Wigan’s. Whoever was in charge is irrelevant. Unless it’s a different/new club in which case they should have restarted in League 1.

Go easy on them Snowie, things haven't been the same over there since Mr Wane and half of the team left at the end of last season.
Most of them seem to be playing for Catalan now, whilst others, despite changing club, seem to keep getting banned.
It's a good family club though.

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
