Quote Slugger McBatt="Slugger McBatt"I'm quite pleased that we have assembled a squad that everyone fears is about to be raided at any point. It's a good worry to have.
But it is destabilising. Danny Brough was seemingly on the point of being poached throughout his time at Wakey, until he did actually leave.'"
It's a strangely Wakefield mentality imho and that's my issue.
I've looked at most other forums and not one fan of any of those clubs has even remotely speculated that due to Wigan's misfortune they may lose a star player. Nor like one poster on here suggests do they try and justify the paranoia by dragging up players lost to Wigan in the past!
I mean for heavens sake how big an inferiority complex can you get. We really need to move on, MC has rewarded us with re-signing virtually every decent player we have on long term deals, what more can he do.
I think we owe it to the club as an act of faith to not carry on with what is really unfounded and pointless speculation that also despite what the same poster suggested does de- stabilise players.
Why do people think that if the club chairman reads these forums the players don't. Worse still I know for certain agents and journalists certainly do. It may be small scale I know but as the old adage says, if you say something often enough people will start to believe it so why bother.
