Defo not Saints mate,the buggers are too tight.

I'd heard saints have the wealthiest board members in mike colemen who is worth approx 1.6 billion dollers and andy bell is worth 40 million. Not sure if that makes us the wealthiest team or we just have massive backers.

You can be the wealthiest club in the world but still need to abide the the SC so it makes no odds other than transfer fees.

Coleman isn't worth $1.6 billion. His company manages a fund worth $1.6 billion, there is a very big difference.

I'm sure he is McManus' mate from his time in the far-east (think Coleman still lives there) like other directors at St Helens. Which goes to prove that Saints are run by a bunch of merchant bankers.

Leeds are the wealthiest club, as far as im aware they are the only club to have an owner in the Times Rich list too

Doesn't really matter who is the wealthiest you can't spend over the cap anyhow .
But if you said best business Wire and Leeds would be about level , we have the better stadium and don't owe any money on it so we might just pip them, if Leeds lost carnegie as sponsor they would be in deep dodo where as if we lost Moran we would still make money !

Unfortunately thanks to the Communist cap which is designed to keep clubs like Wigan competitive, he is restricted on what investment he can put into the team.

Good way to stop money from coming into the game.....all for politically correct socialist agendas. We should be encouraging clubs like Wigan to start trying to attract investment into the club like we did, not levelling down.

Do you have any evidence to back up any of the points you have made?

You merit that by calling it a point?

Leeds are beyond doubt, both by wealth of investors/board and rugby related income. Their average home crowd is head and shoulders above ours.

Don't think so,it's no coincidence that your team has moved on a bit since Moran became involved,that withstanding your last published accounts show you made a loss of £212,000. So without him as a sugardaddy you would be knackered.

As an analyser of financial results and statistics etc I would just like to point out that your linked comments have no reflection on each other whatsoever. Many premier league teams make profits but are in debt. Anybody can make there accounts show a loss if they wanted to. Accounting provisions, guestimates etc have no bearing on financial strength.

Ok then, Padders said that if Leeds lost Carnegie they would be stuffed,but if Wire were to lose Moran they would still make money.Where is the proof of this? Without your sugardaddy there would be no big headline grabbing signings of players or big name coach,without them, smaller crowds, smaller turnover, even bigger loss.Get what i mean now? I know it is possible to make figures reflect what you want them to,obviously, look at your live salary cap.

By developing a spine of world class Wigan-born players and turning also-rans into world beaters? That would be the answer

How much is he worth?
