But who knows what goes on in the heads of some players.'"
Wasnt that in an effort to oust Dorahay? |

That was my understanding, but of course it was only a rumour.
The aims in 1998 would have been somewhat murkier. |

Indeed. Id really hope it wasnt true, given some of my boyhood heroes were involved. Still, who knows, and we are entering potentially dangerous areas. |

To be fair Cas in those days were a very strong team indeed, particularly in the forwards. I've heard that rumour but never been sure whether it was just an attempt to cover for a defeat by a good side, albeit a smaller club. |

Cas gave us a series of hard games that season, which suggests that you're on the button with that. It's also a fact that Wigan underperformed for much of it due to John Dorahy's poor and unpopular leadership, regardless of any conspiracies. |
