Given the stuff between Wigan and Cas recently surely Powell is the least likely?

Imagine what he could do with our first rate facilities! I reckon Powell could bring the best out of Williams with his attack minded coaching.

I text a mate who works at the club after I saw Powell and he wouldn't say anything rather than out right deny it. He's got a pretty decent record as well for insider info.

Getting pretty excited here.

Totally agree!

You really don't like IL, do you!!

The main problem you are saying is recruitment, maybe just maybe this lies at another person's feet.

Direct quote from Waney on the BBC website.

"I'm the most stubborn man in the world. (Owner and chairman) Ian Lenagan and (executive director) Kris Radlinski have always been loyal to me and I pick my own players. If I want a player, they say 'great' and they go and get them for me.

Maybe now that had proved to be the wrong way to do things IL has said enough is enough and told Waney this will not happen anymore, and the departures of Waneys favourites such as MM ST plus other rumoured departures could lend weight to this theory.

However, this is only my thinking and nothing is proved or disproved, just feels to me that Waney has had too much control at the club and IL is reigning that in and he didn't like that.

I think you may have nailed it with this theory.

Rented facilities, and thats a big part of your financial problems.

Rented or not they are still first class, unlike your poop hole of a ground

I’d hate for Powell to come to Wigan. We need an exciting appointment that will put bums on seats. Edwards or an Aussie would do that, Powell certainly won’t.

Hopefully playing in the lower leagues where you belong..

Wane's done a very good job for Wigan IMO, and you have to respect someone who has a good look at themselves and decides to leave under their own terms. He's been in the job a long time and its very difficult to stay fresh in one place.

Do you think Wigan would look back to Maguire?

I’ll believe that when I see it, you’ve been trying to flog it for years

What financial problems would those be?

We're one of the few clubs that can spend right up to the cap, and we can afford two marquee players.

We also own the big training centre up the road, now called Central Park, and are in negotiation to buy the Robin Park stadium next door to the DW.

If you know something we don't, fair enough ... but do feel free to share.

Got around £17.50 in the Furness Building Society, How about you?
