Quote: Rogues Gallery "Whether you like it or not, it's not all about performance on the pitch. The club is a business, and has to be run as such.
There's more to the youngsters coming through than they are not good enough. Wigan have been outbid for quite a number to my knowledge.'"
Interesting point...however not sure its how all clubs look at things....Simon Moran at wire for example has demonstrated he is prepared to back the team out of his own pocket.... beyond the operating income of the club.
I know IL has done this too...to some extent...but his philosophy is very much centred around the principle that the club should be run as a business with the P&L account driving the decisions.
It's a sport, and whilst he is custodian of our great club I expect him to invest perosnally, or source backers to help out.. when needed.
