| Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"Lenagan floated the supporters bar/club idea at a fans forum a few years back but wasn't the rumour that Whelan had threatened to put the rent up at the stadium if we went ahead?
He was supposedly miffed because this type of club would take away from the taking inside the stadium and its bars pre and post match.'"
Why would it take revenue away from takings inside the stadium? It wouldn't be in the stadium or near it I assume and wouldn't be a game-day venue would it?
In Australia as someone else mentioned they used to have their leagues clubs that generated a lot of revenue for the teams but I am sure this was based on the fact they operated as small casinos with slot machines and the like and this came to end (the gaming aspect not the clubs themselves) a while back.
So the idea of a bar/club that generated revenue for the team would be good[i if it did in fact generate enough revenue.[/i
You would want a really high and pretty quick return on any such investment to make it worthwhile and while I have no figures or idea how much you could expect from such a club my gut feeling is not a lot. Pubs and clubs don't seem to be big money spinners!

| More Ethan Hunt technology.
The investment in disguising Adam Blair this season has been good but the technique needs some improvement.
According to Mark Bitcon the club are preparing to use more of this technology to disguise players such as Billy Slater and Sonny Bill Williams in 2014.
Tony Clubb and Dan Sarginson? - Yeah right.

The Wigan chairman...says the cash raised from the transfer - "a nice cheque for us" - will be fed straight back into the club through the backroom staff, facilities, education and sports science.

Not good enough if true.
The whole article is pretty depressing and IL's usual platitudes such as it being flattering are worn out.

| Quote jonh="jonh"The problem is with transfer fees who would you sign?
Realistically?
Only name that stands out to me would be Ben Crookes and or Lineham, to fill the centre/wing void, and I think to call that realistic is a stretch.
We then look to the NRL to improve is where the clubs are swimming with cash and even if they accepted a transfer fee the players wages are vastly inflated so you get less bang for your buck.
Blake Ferguson would be a great signing but would he get a visa? No transfer fee needed, but he would be a stop gap whilst the heat died down in Australia.
Its a tough one, but some investment MUST go into the infrastructure, be it coaching or otherwise.'"
Possibly the best players from the teams in SL which don't really challenge for the CC or GF?
Clark from Cas
Tom Briscoe
Kirkmond
etc
or even try to offer a big money move for one of the best players from the other top clubs?
Watkins? Lomax? Dealings from SL team to SL may be more likely, it's common in Aus for a top player to leave one club to play for another.

Briscoe wouldn't require a fee.
Etc here clearly means you couldn't think of anyone else!

| Lenagan could lauch satellites into space and use mind control devices on ... hold on a minute, he's already doing that, perhaps he could construct a death star to rule the universe.
Failing that he can spend some money on hanging baskets like the local council have done.

| As an example why don't we offer Saints a large amount for Lomax?
What about offering Wire a huge amount for Chris Hill?

| The whole thing is totally disgusting.
Wigan - a selling club. Who would have thought it?
Still you can't blame IL- there are plenty of idiots who can't see what's happening it would appear.

Fancy that, your using George "slit my wrists" Riley as a basis to have a go at Lenagan.

| So what about it, Chris Hill? Surely any Wigan fan would love to see him in cherry and white and we have the money available?

Break the bank for Chris Hill?? I doubt that very much, decent player but no better than Scott Taylor, Wire would demand ridiculous money that wouldn't be worth it
