What a wonderful custodian he has been for the club. He hands on a club in much better shape than the one he inherited. All true Wigan fans and supporters are truly grateful.And as one era ends another begins. Here’s hoping the players can send him out with something to remember. Thank you Ian, you are a true legend.

A fine custodian of the greatest rugby league club in the world. I am sure the new owner will find a way of recognising Ian’s contribution and achievements.

I am sure that the new man at the helm will take us to the next level.

I imagine he’ll be a silent backer. Possibly rads moves in to Leneghans position to oversea everything. Possibly have wane move up and get some to fill the gap. Personally I hope Leneghan or his son, which I was lead to believe was interested in taking over, stays on board in some shape

I remember shaking hands with him at Hull KR when we won the League Leaders Shield a decade or so ago. Intelligent and articulate, Mr Lenagan always had time for the fans and, as has been said, turned the club around bringing further continued success to the club. Steered us through the difficult covid years as well. He’ll go down as a legend in my book.

Exciting times ahead, with Mike Danson taking over full control. I think the timing is right for that too. A fresh impetus and fresh ideas. A lasting legacy of IL will be that he handed over the reigns to the right sort of people.

Thank you Mr. Lenegan. You have done a wonderful job. I wish you nothing but peace and happiness in your retirement.

Not going to go down well with the rivals this. How dare we be the richest club in the world as well as the biggest.


As you were, St Helens

Think the world is over egging it. Maybe in SL yes but I imagine the NRL teams will have a say in it haha

Brisbane Broncos are worth 93m Dollars and they are the richest in the NRL. Danson could buy them and use them as a feeder club

Many months ago I posted about some BIG news was due to come out about Wigan Rugby, I didn't think it would have takes so long to be released.

A big thank you to Ian Lenagan and all his family for the incredible work (and money) they have put into the club over the past years, what a fabulous job they have done.

Assumed you were referring to the return of a BIG ONE match and the club were about to revisit their strategy of tying Wigan scarves to lamposts at 6.00am.
