| He's a fan (as if we did not know). I saw him do this before the game and I think he was just soaking it all up and why not? Who were the other two with him?

| Subject line says it all, thank you IL, comes in the South Stand bar before the game sometimes and has a chat with everyone, was in the cafe in Perps on the Sunday afternoon chatting with the fans, think he knows a club is no good without it's fans.
Thanks again IL

One was Simon Collinson, not sure about the other.

| I said last night that seeing the beaming smile on IL's face as he was walking round before the match, was one of the highlights for me. He has built a home grown empire and last night (and all season) proved that they are there on merit of skill and knowledge rather than birth right. He has built an awesome team.
Long may you reign IL

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

What a guy, he is the 2nd coming with Maurice Lyndsey being the 1st messiah.

I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.
Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king"
'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure'
'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it'

| Here on Merseyside all the soccer talk is about ownership.
The change of of ownership three years ago for us when Ian Lenagan bought the club from Dave Whelan has changed Wigan RL for the better.
We saw the scale of the club's improvement last night.
Under DW's ownership we wouldn't have been anywhere near Old Trafford.
IL bought the club and improvement is there for us all to see.
His biggest decision was not renewing Brian Noble's contract and bringing in Michael Maguire.
The on field performance has improved beyond anything we could have hoped for in his first year, the Grand Final win together with the League Leaders Shield proves that Wigan RL are the best team in the league for 2010.
Management is about making things happen.
Ian Lenagan as the owner has made the very best things happen.
His ownership has been the turning point for our club.
Well Done and Thank You Mr Lenagan.

| Running the club the right way, and you know the prize money will be used correctly under IL.
Hopefully his sons have his business savy and are fans of the club as well.....
Roll on 2011.

However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

| And the best part is........
Both Ian and Madge asked for patience this year, as 2011 is supposed to be when we start to do big things.
If we can do better next year than this then we are in for one hell of a treat.
Huge thanks to Ian, Madge, Shaun, Mark Bitcom, the whole squad and everyone who has worked so hard since last November to make yesterday possible.
