Come on Wigan
Vital Reserves Team
John. Give me one good reason why he'd pay good money to buy us, only to see us go downhill ......or out of existence completely.
Just one.
He gave one but it was stupid

If Pollard takes over we'll go under within 2 years so just putting off the inevitable.
If the rugby owned us I would stick by what i say and wouldn’t go again
Yon
YonMon ......... please understand that if Lenegan buys us (the 5 companies) then he'll own
a) Wigan Athletic (the 5 companies in their current structure) and
b) Wigan Warriors ...................... who pay rent to one of the Wigan Athletic companies to use the DW).
If he wants to change the position of Latics benefiting from stadium income, then he'd need to change the company structure........ which he may do.......but why would he?
If he wants to buy us, we'll be more expensive to run than the rugby, so why would he deprive us of income?
There's no logical reason.
None.
Thanks mate - just a little to young to have had the "riverside experience" heard aloft of stories though.......!
It's about time we had some good news.

John, ..........for the last time .... THE RUGBY WON'T BLOODY OWN US !!!If the rugby owned us I would stick by what i say and wouldn’t go again
What if its not? Look if we get to the point where its him or nout then its him, begrudgingly. But id argue were a long way away from having to settle for it. Let ot play out a little longer yet lets see who comes in over the next few weeksBut what happens if its him or nowt ?... it's not a difficult question but people are dancing around the answer.

Due to Chronic Nerve Pain, i find it difficult to sleep at nights,
this present nightmare we are going through isn't helping either.
This fiasco has had more twists and turns than a Agatha Christie novel.
we could have done with Hercule Poirot instead of QC Hill.
Can someone please answer me these questions:
1- When the Chinese bought us, did they buy Latics, lock,stock and barrel?
2- If so, who owns the Stadium at present?
3- Is it up to the Admins, who buys us?
4- Have we got enough funds, to complete next seasons fixture list?
Yep, correct. But lets see what comes forward firstThere's the answer in there somewhere. Look Danny, life is full of compromise and not everything will be to your liking but if there isn't some saviour out there just waiting to pounce then you bite the bullet and get on with survival.
That company is Wigan Athletic.Wigan Athletic don't own the ground. We're owned by the same company that own a controlling majority in the stadium and have been since it opened - before Warriors were on board, when Whelan owned them and after Whelan owned them.
We still pay rent on the stadium from what someone showed of the last accounts on here and all the functions go to the stadium company and not Latics as far as I understand it.
If Lenagan/Warriors wanted the stadium they could make a bid for it on its own. His consortium wants to buy all of it, including Latics and run both clubs independently under a Wigan Sporting Company just like Whelan did
It would also lead to extra outgoings for them is the running and maintenance costs. Remember they only pay a pittance in rent.Yes moonay I understand all that. But the point is I don't want Latics to share stadium income with the rugby.
As you say we are more expensive to run so need more money to keep going at a decent level.
It could take a good few years for Latics to get over all this trouble we might even get relegated again and end up in div 2.
But we have a better chance of steadying the ship with extra income.
Ian Lenegan has already said if he gets his hands on the DW then that would lead to extra financial avenues for the rugby.
Which in turn takes money away from Latics.
Is he really bothered about us being succesful and moving back up the leagues with the increase in wages it would bring?
Or is he quite happy to give us just enough to keep us in the lower leagues while the worriers strengthen?
Yep, correct. But lets see what comes forward first
Thanks, for clearing that up for me.Springy .......
1. Yes. They own the "5 companies".
2. NLF did, but it's now in the hands of the Administrators.
3. Yes.
4. No. We need a takeover in the next dew weeks or we're done for.

Clock is ticking pal...i don't think people realise how bad this is.
