He bought the club..so he now owns the asset that is wigan rl.
We're talking about the operation of the club on a day to day / year on year basis. There are times when the owner / chairman has to invest out of his own pocket because the operating income won't always cover costs which need to be incurred .. be it to buy young players or talented coaching staff.'"
What evidence have you got that he's not doing this, or that Simon Moran is doing it any more than IL is?
It amazes me that because IL has a reputation for being a tough businessman, there's an assumption - and it can only be an assumption, because we haven't got access to his books - that he won't spend an extra quid or two when it's needed.
