Interesting.

Said for years that the ownership should be 50/50 with both clubs able to do what they want on match days to try to improve their income and they live and die by their own sword on that sense.

You'll never get the majority of fans singing from the same hymn sheet but if the back office staff of the two clubs can then it will only benefit both.

Reading some of the latics forums and you really do have to wonder what planet they live on.

Just read a question: "Do we now own Robin Park?"

They just have this desire to be relevant don't they.

Be quite funny if Danson runs them into the ground

You are right mate, I meant interest in running Latics.

Ian Lenagan has to be a strong contender for the greatest chairman and owner the club has ever had in my opinion.

Under his stewardship he has guided the club excellently and as someone mentioned in this thread earlier, he has really reaffirmed and further built on existing pride we have in the club. For me personally, he has taken that pride to new heights and a large part of that is the consistent success which has been brought back to Wigan. He has really re-established us as a successful force in present times/in the Super League era.

I'm nothing but thankful and grateful for what the years of Lenagan family ownership has brought. As someone else said on here, he has lived the dream. He's a lifelong fan and has had the opportunity to be chairman and owner and I'm of the age where my fondest memories of Wigan are during his time here.

A statue at the DW or Robin Park Arena would be completely appropriate and justified.

The only thing I think he won't miss is many people spelling his surname incorrectly! It's Lenagan* Ha ha

Thank you Ian and family for everything. I hope we send you out on a high at Wembley and Old Trafford.

Nothing really to add on what has already been said.

I will though say when I did a charity event a number of years ago and promoted it within the rugby community via these forums IFL was one of the first to donate, which was totally unexpected and a mark of the character of the man.

Thanks Mr Lenegan for everything you have done for our club.
