I find it quite amusing that some of the Latics knuckle-draggers on Twitter didn't realise this was always going to happen and are now behaving as if it's some kind of imposition.

A succession of bad owners condemned their club to oblivion. They were only saved by a major shareholder in Wigan Warriors, the same guy who was already in talks to take over the rugby club entirely. Possibly he'd have made a move for the football club as well at some point, but unlike Whelan, his focus was on the rugby. It's not inconceivable that he only moved for Latics when he did because he had no choice as they were about to go under and take the stadium with them.

They really have no claim on anything. And yet they now try to assert some kind of moral right to own the Brick (which they only actually owned for a very short time, during which period they did nothing to fix its many problems and continued to lay the law down to the rugby). Talk about Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Quote: Rogues Gallery "The ground needs around £8 million investment.'"


I was aware Brian that a few million was required but didn’t think it would be so high. Some of it obviously due to age but I suspect that a significant amount due to lack of any expenditure over more recent years.
Some Latics fans still bemoaning “lack” of expenditure by Danson.

The irony of a wage bill at nearly £6m per year with the top paid player on £12k per week, and they are still moaning when our total cap is well below half of that

i'd cash the bronze DW tribute to himself in, and put that towards the repair bill icon_smile.gif

Quote: Zig "It could also be for tax reasons.......'"
And with a rather jaundiced cynical hat on, it also separates it from oversight by the footy regulator coming in and as such any subsequent sale wouldn't be scrutinised as heavily as it might be & could pave the way for any carpet-bagger screwing us all.

Appears to be a good outcome for both clubs and hopefully Mike Danson.

I'd imagine the SMC will run the place well with the improvements that will benefit us all.
