Have they sent the 'heavies' round then ?

Dunno. I've moved house.

Put my avatar over this effort from Pemps that has lost the club millions in potential sponsorship and you won't be far wrong.





EDIT: Stop rattling your handbag

1/ Can't be bothered looking through 46 pages - What were the questions you wanted to know the ansers too?

2/ If you don't ask the question to IL it's a bit hopeful hoping that he will give you the info to that very same question without him knowing you wanted that info???

3/ Can't believe I'm agreeing with DaveO here

but it seems straight forward to me that a Hypothetical 300k could easily be swallowed up by the signings of Roberts/Pryce/Riddell a full years wages for Phelps & smith as opposed to 3 months wages last year and wage rises for at least 1/2 dozen of the younger squad including Hansen (Remember he was part of the Fielden/salary cap argument) J Tomkins, S Tomkins, Goulding et al

He did actually give an answer when he said that youngsters contract were built with incremental pay rises i.e
10/20/30k in years 1,2,3
Or
20/30/40K
Or
30/40/50K

Plus he did say that investing in youth does come at a price! I would say that seems logival to me????

4/ I would quite willingly lend you a quid, where should i send it to & would that mean I have any say in the running of the club?

They stuck the IL quote in there

Did he actually say that

Just goes to show what turd-stiring idiots like The Mirror's Trevor Baxter are.

Basically IL was agreeing to a certain extent with a highly strung Wigan supporter venting their fustration towards Whelan's decision to make is move out fixture.

Ian Lenagan replied ''I was fustrated too and could have killed DW for moving the fixture but....'' and then actually stuck up for DW (can't remember how) to some fans dismay. He then said ''If there are any reporters in here, I hope you print that too'', which the Mirror and Trevor Baxter have decided not to do.

There's nothing in it. How many times have you said ''I could kill ___for doing that''....etc?

It's a figure of speech, nothing more. Who wouldn't be angry at forfeiting home advantage?

It's a poor piece of reporting that tells half a story. I hope the club make a complaint to the mirror.

well i aint see him around, But i'll keep an eye out for ya.

Dont forget we have also had to register Karl Pryce this year and im assuming he is on a decent amount of money, although i was suprised that only 20k was left.

However at least we know where we stand, did we under Mo?

Also, for people who want specific questions asked, there are two options,
get yourself down to the forum to ask and show some bottle if your there, its easy being a internet warrior, when you hide behind your screen.

He actually said:

'I could have killed Whelan for that'

Big Cheer in the room.

Then he said:

'........But he was right to do it, and I hope any press that quotes me, also quotes that last bit as well'

Obviously the Mirror didn't.

Shocked that he said that....how can you possibly say the bradford tool was right to do it?

As for the 'article' if it can be called that, what b0llox reporting....its not even a proper article....3 paragraphs which have no coherancy....a five year old would have done better

Word for word.

its definitely BILL........i saw him this morning

Had he filled "McCracken"? or was he just walking funny coz of his shoes!

perhaps, but im not willing to answer any questions on players, wages, dates, names or how inept i may or may not be.

You don't need to answer that one, I think I know the answer!

Does anyone else get the 'Wigan Courier'? It's basically a naff newspaper full of adverts and local community news, but the infamous Bill McCracken is referred to at the top of page 8!

I thought his name was Phil

Bill McCracken is actually a very well known and respected member of the Standish community and the local Catholic community. He volunteers freely and plays a prominent role in many community activities.

I thought this comment came up there

What of it?

You do not start trying to be fancy until you get the basics sorted out. How can you try to play more expansive rugby when your players cant even hold onto the ball?

Fancy well anything other than 5 drives and a kick is fancy

Whats the harm in a few dummy runners?

maybe even a little support play? much as i hate SchLONG you should have seen him backing up the breakers last night (granted his place kicking was cack

)
