He honestly can't be for real. I don't know how old you are - I'm barely old enough to remember what Mo did for Wigan first time but please if you are un-educated on the matter - do not continue to post.

im old enought to know whats goin, mo left us to go to the rfl, he left it to jack robinson who didnt have a clue what to do, mo then came back to take over again and start spending the money he didnt have AGAIN, maybe thats why its a long term financial trouble where in, he had to leave us because he was ill, yet still had something to do with the latics

You presumably would have preferred us to continue trundling along at the bottom of the First Division, occasionally getting relegated, never winning any trophies, playing to 6,000 crowds max?

Mo gambled more than he should, but he was very unlucky with the subsidence under the new stand. That cost us a fortune, and was the real beginning of our financial problems. Even so, we're still alive, we're still here - and we have a package of awsome memories from that era.

Mo made Wigan into so powerful a brand that they were never likely to be short of buyers when they ran into difficulty.

In a way he made us too powerful. The glory days ended approx 10 years ago this weekend IMO, and we've never yet been able to live up to the standards that we ourselves set. It torments the Wigan fans daily, as these message boards will attest.

I agree.

Left us in the ... Only to return and do the exact same thing, and now he's a f^ckin director at Latics.

You lot make me laugh, you go on about 'Legend That Sorts It' being too young to understand, get over yourselves.

Which of you two gets top bunk?

This from someone who thinks Sam Tomkins is ball greedy.

Leg end more like.

Ossie Davies.

That was Wmebley 1998, the begining of the End was Salford in the cup 1996.

There were a lot of things that I didn't agree with Mo on.

However, there is no doubt in my mind that whatever he did, he did with the best interests of Wigan RL at heart.

It's quite ironic that in his first tenure, he was, in the main, Vice Chairman. Jack Hilton was the Chairman, but it was Mo who was quoted in the press, Mo who made the announcements etc.


Overall Mo loved Wigan RL and he loved the game. Many argue over some of his decisions, but I understand that it is sometimes very hard to make those decisons, especially with a club the size of Wigan.


Imo Mo was a giant of the game. Thus far IL is a pygmy. I sincerely hope that IL can grow, but thus far I have seen no evidence whatsoever.


In any case I believe that Mo has been good for Wigan RL and I would like to thank him for his contribution over the years.
