Its very simple the RFL grab Mr Lennigan by whatever part of the anatomy is closest and FORCE him to sell his 65% in the next 3 months and if he doesn't he cant be chairman of Wigan - god knows every other sport doesnt allow chairmen to own 2 clubs!

After that its up to quins...

how do you force someone to sell somthing no one wants to buy?

the rfl should have made lennigan dispose of his quins shares before allowing him to take control of wigan, not after

It breaks down like this: it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it (until 2009), and, if you're the proprietor of a pie club, it's legal to sell it. It's legal to carry on owning it (until 2009), but that doesn't really matter 'cause -- get a load of this -- if you get stopped by the cops in the RFL, it's illegal for them to enforce their own rules. I mean, that's a right… the cops in RFL don't have.

In that case you have my sympathy because you are s*****d.

The RFL have NO balls its their fault because they allowed Lennigan to do one on you guys.

Lenagan apprarently also wants a £2m club loan paid back to him for the money he put in up until he left in exchange for the shares. No-one wants to pay £2m for a loss making club, let alone only 2/3 of it.

What I find amazingly astounding is the the amount of criticism Chairman Mo has received despite doing so much for RL. Yet IL has pillaged one club he currently controls and continues to do so has no interest in developing new "wigan developed" players yet seems obsessed with rescruitment of nondescript NRL players, despite Wigan being blessed with the best RL school system in UK outside Hull.

Why is Lenegan beyond critiscism ?

Grow up

I thought it was funny

Rugby League in London is not a new fad. It goes back to the days of Fulham. Every time it fails. At some point somebody has to say thats thats. Why should the RFL fund the development? I for one am a little bit tired of all the hassle and expense linked with expansion. I would love to see the game a success in all parts of the UK but it isn't going to happen. Every club currently in the competition would like extra money to fund development so location should not play a part. Harlequins is poorly run in a part of the UK which is really not bothered in having a rugby league club in the top flight. I wish it was different. But thats life

Never saw in anything Quins or RFL saying have to fund game down south? What community schemes are Quins RL run? Or just an excuse as no funds? Quins low crowds mean the club struggle what on earth has that got to do with them developing the game in financial terms?

To me it's pretty clear RFL did all London ground work then when Crysaders came along they left it and says to Quibs as a club go on run yourselves without us and simply it hasn't been possible for them to do so!

Absolutely spot on. They are not self sufficient. The club has been established for a long time so surely something must be in place to develop the game down there. Part of the criteria for a championship club to get into the elite is youth development which is a kick in the teeth when established super league clubs need assistance in developing the game. No more funding. Time to let them stand on their own two feet

and gutterfax had the cheek to slag off hull kr for there losses and there loosing 1.5mill a season i hope they go out of business and super league finally admit that a team in london is a waste of time and money at least it seams to be working in france yet london broncos/quins what ever you want to call them have had 20+ years and it still is not working

The problem with Quins is that it has no specific area that fans can say "that's my team". London is too big for one club. It's been 30 years now, it hasn't worked. Goodbye London, welcome back Cumbria

and yet the crusaders struggle in their first season and everyone wants them out of superleague as fast as possible.

2nd season. the first season doenst just get struck from the record because the identity, name, location changed.

I was talking about their first season putz. The one in south wales!

sorry. i get confused as to where the hell you lot are these days. any plans for next year yet or is it 2 years in the one place?

no reply of gutterfax then didnt think so strange when my teams finances were being chucked about he was one of the first people to go calling yet his team is 3 times worse off yet i havent seen anything being wrote by him

thing is crusaders were getting 4-5k crowds in south whales which is more than what quins have been getting so in my eyes if that was to continue then good luck to them more than salford as well i might add

You okay Gutterfax?









Widnes & Fax, come on down.

toulose should be given londons spot and a new london club set up in the championship

That would be the optimum solution for Quins as the developement side is now turning out players who can hack it at that level, which would enable a new club to kick on and eventually get into SL under its own steam. The only problem would be where to play, but that's not such a big problem in the Championship. But Toulouse? Get real!

Perhaps he should be made to sell his Wigan shares and give him the chance to buy them back at a later date if they are available after he has sold his quins shares. He should never have been allowed to get his hands on the Wigan shares in the first place to the detriment of Quins.

i thought you was not allowed to own to clubs by the same person as was hullkr's problem when caddick wanted to buy us out but could not due to owning leeds

can i just point out that there is another thread going on in the virtual terrace about haven going under if the rugby league help quins why cant they be helped to a traditional club could go bust yet a new club could be saved because its rugby leagues love child its disgraceful if this was to happen
