Love it!

Love what he says about the coaches.
Love what he says about our Wigan boys.
Love what he says about Wane and Radderz!
Love pretty much everything he says.
Great chairman!

Thank Madge all you like, thank Mark Bitcon all you like, thank Sam Tomkins all you like..... Madge wouldn't be here if it wern't for IL, neither would Bitcon and Tomkins and numerous other players would not have just signed long term deals if it wasn't for this guy. I hope he sticks around for years to come! It seems everyone at the club wants to imrpove and strives for perfection, the whole culture of the club has clearly changed and it has made a huge difference.

On a side note from what he says about Wane and Radderz in this interview proves to me that unless there is a major change in the situation at Wigan, Wane will take over after Madge and then Radlinski will take over after him.

Exactly. He was genius in his first spell but sadly I look back at his second spell as one of wasted opportunity. Some of his big money signings were pretty poor (David Vaealiki step forward!)

Excuse me, can you have a word with Rogues please, he says Mo was the best administrator the games ever had!!!
By the way, full marks to IL and MM, they are doing a fantastic job for Wigan.

I don't think Mo was totally clueless. His initial deal with Sky was a lifesaver for some. Plus, I think it's now clear that some of our 'second tier' of SL clubs would have been better following his advice and merging.

Like Gateshead and Sheffield!!

A more obvious area would have been Calder.

Featherstone, Cas, Wakey - could have been a real powerbase by now.

Cas might be relieved to see Wakey going under, but it won't really clear the decks for them. Even going it alone, they'll never be the force they once were.

Or do you think it's smarter for us to just keep trundling along with lot of little, struggling clubs hanging to our coat-tails?

As examples
No like Hull and HKR at that time
Like Huddesrfield and Halifax at that time
Like Wakey, Fev, and Cas at that time.
Like Barrow, Workington and Whitehaven at that time.

Gateshead was sacrificed for Hull, and Sheffield was sacrificed for Huddersfield.

Mo did a lot more right for RL than he did wrong, and we were playing International RL with 60,000 plus crowds. We miss someone with his vision and drive in RL today.

In addition he also negotiated (without assistance from the RFL) for Manly to come across and play in the World Club Challenge. Next thing you know we attract nearly 37k to Central Park (with thousands locked out) on a cold Wednesday night and away you go.........the RFL saw the format worked and is still being copied today!

=#FF0040Try selling that in Humberside or the other places you nominate.
As an example, how about Wigan and Leigh

No problem as long as they still call the club Wigan and play at the DW.

We could offload Orrell and move the U20's & U18's to LSV though I suppose?

Nobody said it would be easy BJ, but ask yourself what happened to all those thousands of supporters who paraded through Wakefield, Castelford and Featherstone, where are they now. Are they actively supporting those teams, no they aren't.
And you have not addressed the International game.

Hows Maurice doing at PNE, maybe they should merge with Blackpool,
