Economic Climate.
The signing of Gleeson.
The late signing of Mecca on the shirt (quoted we normally shift approx 16K shirts, but have only managed 50% of that).

I cant remeber to be honest... I think it was about signings or lack of... but the guy wouldnt let lenegan explain and he got mighty p*ssed and turned round to him and said ( will you let me answer the question!!!) worth the £2 alone

IL is intending on sticking with wiganers, not Aussies or Kiwi's

a couple of reasons mentioned were lower merchendise sales due to it coming out late (8,000 replica shirts sold compared to 16,000 last year) and also the transfer fee for gleeson. it was mentioned however that should the team reach the challenge cup final, the loss could very well become a profit as the cup final is estimated to be worth £250,000

Yeah but just think ... if you'd been there, you could have asked something of interest.
Sorry to be blunt, but people who don't attend and then express annoyance don't impress me at all.
Don't leave it to other people to ask the questions that YOU want answering.

| Quote: WarriorSteve "I think its fair to say that some of the comments on the other websites are based on comments made without being there themselves... I think we are still suffering with the salary cap with Feka's and Fielden's wages.. it is a difficult time at present with currency rates to be able to attract the top stars as before they may have wanted £250,000 were now they £350-400,000 which means that we cannot afford them... Lenegan has said that all the players that he has been looking at... are either crook, coming over for the wrong reasons, wrong age, mickey heads etc and he wasnt prepared to let 3-4 wigan lads with potential to leave to get one of these mercenaries... it does look as though we are going with the same squad next year.. and like IL said once both feka and fieldens wages are addressed we can maybe make some better moves... carmont will be here next year, as IL thinks he has 1 or maybe two years in him..
We were in the market for Brett finch.. but he wanted massive money and with Sam T coming on so well, it was a priority anymore... which is one of the reasons behind retaining phelps and coley and bailey aswell(assuming he signs).'"
Feka ??
IL was the one who gave him a new contract so i cant see him being a reason for having no salary cap

Could it be that the great DW is still siphoning money out the club

Good. We need to mould import signings round the academy products not the other way round.

The man asking the question seemed to have misunderstood what IL was saying. He talked about not being able to afford signing players. And IL said it was not about affording, it was about constraints of the salary cap and unrealistic player and club demands for transfer fees etc.
One fan compared signing an Australian who was coming to the end of his career who was possibly susceptible to injury and then paying a large fee for him as like paying £40,000 for a Ford Fiesta.

| Just for the record the Gleeson transfer fee (in total) won't affect the profit apart from the depreciation charge (usually over the term of the contract). So say 2 year contract to keep it simple; £50k would hit the p & l this year and £50k next year.

I think it was how the question was asked and that the guy who aked it (who by the way sponsers pat richards) told him he had contridited himself. IL,s reply was somthing like let me finish, i,ve told you we cant afford to pay what they want and re-sign our young players.

It's already been said that Lenegan only answers the questions he wants to, plus it's not the questions that were asked I have problem with it's the fact that the answers given are nothing new that we haven't already heard before.
