Quote: Darwen Warrior "I do agree with you and it begs the question of why Mike Danson was brought into the fold. Recently quoted as the 119th richest person in the country with a personal wealth of £1.17bn.
That wealth is his and it’s his choice as to what he does with it. Becoming a substantial shareholder and ‘investor’ in a Rugby League club, though, will hardly find him taking money out of the club. To be expected for him to put money in from time to time. If he does eventually take over from the Lenagan family and become the majority shareholder, will we have to wait until that time for any meaningful spending to take place?'"
A month or so ago, I was looking at the "rich list" in one of the national newspapers and found that the owner of Warrington was in the 129th position. I then went well down the list and found Ian Lenagan who now only has a personal fortune of 19 million which was nowhere the amount he had at the time he bought the club from Dave Whelan.
In view of his present financial position, age and health, the question has got to be asked, Is he now trying to find new investment or even trying to sell the club like Whelan did with Latic's when finances and level of signings started to go downhill.
If Wigan is to remain as the top club on this side of the Pennines and indeed the whole game, new and more finance or even new ownership is a priority!
