That'd be the experience of losing players to union and being humped every time there's a fixture clash with the footy? Plus fighting a losing battle with London despite having perhaps the second-wealthiest backer the sport has seen?
I don't despise the man but I'm unconvinced by his track record. |

As an Everton (as well as Saints) season ticket holder I was delighted to see Elstone leave Goodison, but less enthralled to see him get a job high up in RL given the cock ups he'd had his fingerprints all over while at Everton and it seems he's wasted no time at being involved in bungling errors in this sport.
God help Rugby League with this guy fronting it.

Out of interest, what cock ups was he involved in? Genuine question. |

So Hetherington didn't let Lee Smith go to RU & then couldn't recognise a crocked player when he returned? Whereas IL sold a player RU for £250k & to NRL for £700k (or whatever the world record fee was) and got them back for £nil/£200k, that's just bad business isn't it? Unconvinced? Really?
As for the second wealthiest backer who so rarely visited the Harlequinns that he perhaps thought he bought shares in the RU side, he never contributed any money to that squad - perhaps thats a lesson in that we shouldn't deal with Scottish based backers anymore. As for us Wigan fans, we have nothing but gratitude for what he has done for our club. |

You can just make the strings out on the ones behind them. |

Robert Elstone denies he is Ian Lenaghan's puppet. How cringeworthy.

A'" We're talking David Hughes, right?
Lenagan's record as a Rugby League businessman is pretty abysmal by any standards - the financial performance of Wigan is embarrassing not just in the scale of the losses but moreover in the direction of travel - it's getting worse and worse every year.
I don't think Hetherington needs to take any lessons on buying and selling in the transfer market from anyone. This is the man who sold Iestyn Harris to Wales for £1m (plus a corporate box in Cardiff) then sold him again to Bradford for £550k. |
