| Quote: Jukesays "I did know that 2 weeks ago there were stadium/latics employees still trying to exercise the previous regimes practices on us, and a quiet word was had and it was sorted.
I'm reluctant to say too much, because I personally dont want to get into the back & forth of who owns what, my dad's bigger than your dad
Let's just say things are working on a lot more of an even keel
Latics officials will need to get their heads round this, and their fans, I think a large proportion of the fans are realistic enough to understand that the term that is being used since the takeover I.e. "sustainability" is something that we (Wigan rugby) have been doing since 2007, whilst Latics haven't as they were under the Whelan umbrella until 2018, and then the gigantic mess of Chinese then Bahrani ownership for the last 5 years who didn't realise the cost of Not living Sustainably and subsequently didn't want to.
I still see posts now from Latics fans who think that Dansons purchase "Must be" because he's a billionaire who wants to throw hundreds of millions at them.
My take (albeit I can't prove it although I have had conversations with people involved in the processes of the takeover) is that he stepped in as no-one else did, and he's agreed to run Latics Sustainably which, is far far harder in football than in rugby. Losses of 1m a year in rugby and Wigan still are at the top and most people are happy
Latics income plus 1million a year and its league 2 at best etc. On average (I get they could perform well and improve etc. But realistically the budget for income plus 1million a year would have them fighting mod table league 2 financially wise).
They lost 10million ineague 1 to win it
They'll lose approx 15million staying in the championship
Of Dansons sustainability plan is to give them 10/15million a year to achieve that then fair enough
I think it will be the former, and work within that Sustainable budget plan'"
Cheers Juke been reading your comments for years now so I would say you are in the know more than I am.Keep up the good work (like Bilko) with your measured comments

Its slowly returning. The women playing a fixture at the DW would never have happened under any of the previous owners. Pictures outside the front entrance went up pretty quickly. I would imagine as refurbs come round as part of the standard cycle, more joint sporting club wigan will become evident. The owner has had to dig deep just to save Latics from folding, so I understand that he probably doesnt see a complete makeover as the #1 priority right now.
It would be nice to have the flags hanging from the South stand again - they looked great.

| Saw a post on twitter during the week showing a couple of chaps on abseils tinkering with the DW sign above reception at the stadium.
Obviously raising speculation that a stadium rebrand is imminent. Makes sense as a new sponsorship brings in revenue and its been years since Whelan actually owned the ground, so it's well past its due date (maybe the only thing delaying would be the seat changes to remove the DW logos from inside) - massive job in itself, may as well change all 25k seats.

Wonder if they can trade in that god awful statue for scrap metal too. A nice new one of IL, or better still Uncle Mo would be a suitable replacement.
