Quote: Cruncher "The trouble is, Dave, you suspecting that other businesses don't operate in this way doesn't mean that they don't, and you doubting this lack of info has anything to do with the law doesn't mean that it hasn't.
No doubt it's very frustrating to those of us who want to know every single thing that's going on at the club, but we're not entitled to that information, especially not if it apertains to a player's private life. Washing dirty linen in public is not something everyone wants to do, regardless of the clamour for juicy gossip.'"
It's not a clamour for juicy gossip and me suspecting the lack of info has nothing to do with the law is as valid an opinion of those who think it might. It is merely wanting to know why one of our first choice centres has seemingly vanished without explanation.
As fans who have an interest in supporting the team wanting to know where Gleeson is and why he is not playing is no different to asking when Finch is going to be ready to play. We want to be kept up with team developments and I think we [iare[/i entitled to ask given how much time and money we spend on supporting the club. I do not understand why you think we are not entitled to the kind of information being sought which has nothing at all to do with his private life or any grubby details
but simply what is his status as a Wigan player.
Quote: Cruncher "I think it's highly likely that the moment Martin Gleeson's separation from Wigan RL is finalised, you'll be officially informed. But you won't necessarily be given the reasons why, as both he and Wigan may consider that it has nothing to do with you.
Also, I really don't think you can just dismiss the legal issue simply because it doesn't suit your position.'"
It is just speculation that it is a legal issue that prevents any comments so it's no more a valid an opinion than mine saying this ought not to be an obstacle to keeping the fans reasonably informed. It's also true that sooner rather than later Madge or someone else from the club will be put on the spot by someone in the media so what are they going to say? I am sure when players have been dealt with for disciplinary reasons at Wigan in the past and at other clubs it's all been done and dusted without it dragging on for weeks with a total silence from the club(s).
I am sure I am not the only one who does not need or want to know anything about this that may be of a personal nature but do want to know what his status is as a Wigan player and I think we are entitled to ask that question.
