I think the analogy works well for football e.g. Man City, but I don’t believe it crosses over to rugby league. I don’t believe people pump money into rugby league clubs for status, they do it for passion. Lenagan is a Scholes lad and Wigan fan. If not, he’d have probably made a more prudent investment.

If someone with passion and a lot of money wants to buy Wigan, fantastic. The point I’ve made in a number of comments is that these people are very very rare. Everyone wants Lenagan gone but without an idea of who would buy us.

No, he made a dumb decision to do this years ago and got caught. To get caught again is someone moronic and not thinking of his family. I wonder how many times he did drink and drive prior to his 2nd conviction withought being caught.

I tend to agree, there isn’t a great deal of sympathy from me either.

I’m pretty sure nobody would ever condone his behaviour the first time or the second. It was stupid and shows little concern for the safety of other people.
However, when it’s stripped back, he’s a bloke with a family whose life has been turned upside down. His children know nothing different than life in England and a father who plays rugby league as his job. That has all gone now and the human in me feels for the whole family. I spoke with him on Friday and he was clearly devastated yet still found the time to chat and have his picture with my son.
I really do wish him and his family well, whatever the future holds for them.

He's a good bloke with a kind heart. He's made some bad decisions (haven't we all) and it hasn't seemed like he's been completely focused on his rugby so I hope things are Ok in his personal life. If not, hope they improve. Best of luck to him.

According to the mrs it was reported in the radio that he has now gone by mutual consent.....
