Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"Not sure theres much about but even if there is, I don’t think we can afford it. Fringe players off the books this year leaving us short of depth is one sign but then you look at the outs and rumoured ins for next year and it’s pretty startling. If it is the case, I’ve no issue with it, certainly not with Lenagan anyway. It’s his money and if he doesn’t want to pee it away, who can blame him.'"
If that's the case then IL needs to sell up. That sounds harsh, but this club deserves to be at the cutting edge of the game. Not winning a trophy a year just isn't good enough for Wigan. Losing to Catalan > Hull KR > Wakey on the bounce is absolutely scandalous. I don't even know how to categorise Wigan lads turning the club down for a "new challenge" and going to Wire.
If that doesn't trigger big changes, or set a fire under the owner, then that's a solid sign to walk away. We talk about players losing the 'fight/fire" and it happens to every good administrator too. There's no shame in it. He's what 75? That's only 5 years younger than Mo who many (myself included) would class as too old to run a club.
I feel like I'm using the phrase "I'm a big IL fan" before a lot of my posts. I still am btw, but to me that's an indication that things aren't going smoothly. Let's not sugar coat it - the last 3 - 4 years haven't been the best under his stewardship.
