To be fair, you'd expect nothing less than a chairman to stand up for the best interests of his club, though the clubs, and the game, stand together as a single entity in many ways and whilst none of us really knows what is going on at Red Hall, it's difficult to see it as being in the best interests of the game.

None of the 6 would be where they are, in the top 8, without their sugar daddies. I am under no illusion. But to some of them it is a dick measuring exercise & they are not that bothered about RL as long as their team is at the top. A look at the thread, club or country, on the Wigan site shows the small town, short-sightedness. As it is I do not agree with the change of format but out of all of them Hetherington strikes me as the one true RL man.
