Quote ="BoredWiganer"Latics have been though this a few times now and always seem to come out the other end worse. I just get more and more baffled in how they let their hate for the rugby cloud all logic and have a severe detest for things that would honestly be the best scenario for their club, to the point where i see many claim that if Lenagan and Danson were to be involved in running their club, then they would abandon being fans all together.
After the carcrash that has been the last 5ish years for them, would Lenagan and Danson really be such a bad scenario?
Lenagan has knowledge of football and has been involved in other clubs in the past, and also the EFL itself. An owner with a passion for sports, football and the town is something Latics fans are crying out for, Lenagan seems to tick all of them boxes along with being a proven, stable owner of other sports teams.
Latics fans are calling out for somebody who has the money to provide financial stability long term for the club and preferably somebody with local ties is something i am frequently seeing stated (understandibly after a string of dodgy, self serving foreign owners). Danson is literally the richest Wiganer there is (surely) and could provide all those things, plus already maintains a working relationship in a sporting environment with the guy who ticks all the other boxes that Latics fans want (Lenagan).
At what point do the Latics fans stop cutting off their noses to spite their faces, put aside past grieviences (that just come across as childish and petty to be honest) and accept what xould possibly be the best possible scenario for them and is sitting right under their noses. Irregardless of whether it is even a valid option, and whether both Lenagan and Danson are even interested, i couldn't imagine being a fan of a sports club and being so disgusted by the prospect.
It just comes across as so weird from an outsiders perspective.'"
The belief amongst Latics fans that the rugby have always tried to put them out of business. Now that Latics have the upper hand with regards to the stadium they don't want to let go out that "power" and most of them have this conspiracy theory that IL would kick them out the stadium and leave them to die.
As you say, IL would be the perfect owner (or chairman) as he would keep the spending within budget and if he did overspend it would be a very manageable amount.
Baffles me at times as I'm sure it does NK.
