Quote: Ian Lenegan "I am a great supporter of the salary cap'"


Quote: Ian Lenegan "Should we make it higher because we cannot compete with rugby union? I think that is absolute rubbish.'"


Quote: Ian Lenegan "We don't have a salary cap problem'"


Quote: Ian Lenegan "Where are Wigan going to find [extra £500k to spend on an increased cap]? It is absolute nonsense.'"



He'd get slaughtered on here if he aired such views on the salary cap. Does he know what he's on about or is he completely wrong?

Ian also thinks their should be special dispensation for players who've been at club over a certain period of time, as well as juniors who've been brought through the clubs youth system. Both of which I totally agree. Particularly the dispensation for juniors.

I'm pretty sure he knows the club's books better than anyone on here so he is best placed to say whether the club can spend beyond the current cap limit or not

He is, of course, correct.

Brett Kenny (or whatever his name is on here) would like to think that Wigan have endless millions ready to throw at players, but then he's always been a bit deluded about the Communist Cap.

I respect his views and I wouldn't want Wigan to throw money at players they can't afford. People may moan about the salary cap but if it was got rid of we wouldn't enjoy the current ticket prices we have.

Since Ian Lennegan took over at Wigan we have been going in the right direction, so I would have to agree with what he says about the cap

I'd be more than happy to pay more for my ticket if it meant watching the very best players in the world week in week out.

Also I’m if the SC was abolished I’m sure a shrewd operator like IL would be linking up with business to get ‘sponsorship’ type deals as well.

You will never convince me the SC is a good idea. I honestly just can’t see why a sensible approach just can’t be adopted? If you aint got it don’t spend it but if you do have it why not go all out to create that something special?

Simply if a club ruins itself into administration there is no one to blame other than the owners. I’m not going to go out tomorrow and buy a 14 bedroom mansion as I’d be bankrupt in about a second if I did. I don’t however begrudge someone who has the money buying one. The same can be said for RL if Warrington and their money rich owner want to sign Inglis on the highest wage in RL history I really can’t see a problem with it.

If the CC was scrapped then bankrolling a RL club would be more expensive. Given this his views are hardly a massive revelation are they?

Of course that could be me being deluded again. (or some muppet on the wrong board)

I was under the impression that Sir Ian and a couple of other Directors / owners (Heatherinton and McManus included) voted for a change in the SC just over a year ago? only for it to be vetoed by the majority of other sides?

Have i just made this up?

The only thing we miss out on from having a SC is big media attention for huge big money signings. I can cope with that.

Eventually we will see an extremely even competition at the top, we are almost there. It will work.

However, I personally think there should be reward for more home grown players in the team.

I heard something like that, but thought it was more to do with a special dispensation for clubs who had come through the academy (as stated by another poster earlier in the thread).

The other clubs decided that Wigan, Leeds and Saints were just looking after their own interests, which they were.. by taking junior development seriously
