To add to the above, I wouldn’t say I look ridiculous.

What’s ironic is that you’re categorically saying the club isn’t for sale. How do you know that? The Forty20 podcast a number of weeks ago actually said the club was for sale. Just because Lenagan hasn’t listed it on Facebook marketplace, it doesn’t mean he isn’t having conversations.

But as the other poster said, the original point was that just because someone buys the club it doesn’t mean they’ll throw the money needed at it.

On Wigan Buy & Sell

If it’s not on Facebook it’s not official. I thought that was a common fact?!

I'd have thought most on here would be happy at the thought of Tautai being removed from the playing roster at Wigan.

I can't imagine many are too disappointed that he might not play for us much longer but thankfully it seems people have steered clear of displaying unbridled joy at the news of a drink drive conviction and a family potentially having their life and future plans turned upside down.

Let him enjoy it whilst it lasts, had it tough with us winning so many trophies over the last few years.

A spouse can certainly have a lot to deal with when their partner transgresses.

From a non emotional rugby point of view I’m quite pleased. Gets him off the books.

From a human point of view I’m disappointed another Wigan player has let the club down.

Not his first time either, caught ten years ago. https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/nrl/ ... 57926bb209

If you bought a stately home then yes, and that’s what a sports club is like owning. Looks great, good to brag about, you really enjoy it but it’ll cost you.

Any potential buyer will no doubt know full well that they will be putting their own money in, it’s like buying a Ferrari and saying that it’s costs a lot of money to run. People who buy Ferrari’s don’t worry about running costs, neither will people who buy sports clubs.

Correct.

I do also have some sympathy for his family but it’s tough to say you have much for him after doing this for a second time. It really isn’t something you can have much sympathy for, as I’m sure the families of victims caught up in drink driving incidents would agree.

The club set a precedent not firing off Hardaker or Mullen but this is a second offence and if visa issues take it out the clubs hands then so be it.
