walked round the perimeter fence pre match applauding the fans.

did the same at the end.

nice to know the boss appreciates the fans.........and the feelings mutual

here here pal here here

What a guy, everything has changed since this fella came in!

not met him yet, but if i do, i'll always get him a pint. has done wonderous things for our club. and he was right as well, he has brought silverware back where it belongs. i think a shout or two for him tomorrow at the homecoming wouldn't be out of order

He's a fan (as if we did not know). I saw him do this before the game and I think he was just soaking it all up and why not? Who were the other two with him?

Dave

Subject line says it all, thank you IL, comes in the South Stand bar before the game sometimes and has a chat with everyone, was in the cafe in Perps on the Sunday afternoon chatting with the fans, think he knows a club is no good without it's fans.
Thanks again IL

I told you all Mo had to go. Those who didn't believe me hang you heads in shame.

One was Simon Collinson, not sure about the other.

One of the Directors I think.

Thank you Ian.

all hail IL you've turned the club around and we all thank you for that...

I said last night that seeing the beaming smile on IL's face as he was walking round before the match, was one of the highlights for me. He has built a home grown empire and last night (and all season) proved that they are there on merit of skill and knowledge rather than birth right. He has built an awesome team.

Long may you reign IL

legend

What a guy, he is the 2nd coming with Maurice Lyndsey being the 1st messiah.

They are his sons.

Here on Merseyside all the soccer talk is about ownership.
The change of of ownership three years ago for us when Ian Lenagan bought the club from Dave Whelan has changed Wigan RL for the better.
We saw the scale of the club's improvement last night.
Under DW's ownership we wouldn't have been anywhere near Old Trafford.
IL bought the club and improvement is there for us all to see.
His biggest decision was not renewing Brian Noble's contract and bringing in Michael Maguire.
The on field performance has improved beyond anything we could have hoped for in his first year, the Grand Final win together with the League Leaders Shield proves that Wigan RL are the best team in the league for 2010.
Management is about making things happen.
Ian Lenagan as the owner has made the very best things happen.
His ownership has been the turning point for our club.
Well Done and Thank You Mr Lenagan.

Running the club the right way, and you know the prize money will be used correctly under IL.

Hopefully his sons have his business savy and are fans of the club as well.....

Roll on 2011.

When he came in he assured us all that we wouldnt be an overnight turnaround but would bring the right people in, bring silverware back to the club and get us back where we belong!!!!

HE IS A TRUE WIGANER . THANK YOU IAN!!!!!

And the best part is........

Both Ian and Madge asked for patience this year, as 2011 is supposed to be when we start to do big things.

If we can do better next year than this then we are in for one hell of a treat.

Huge thanks to Ian, Madge, Shaun, Mark Bitcom, the whole squad and everyone who has worked so hard since last November to make yesterday possible.

Ian Lenegan is a LIAR! He said it wouldnt be an overnight turnaround!



Im still smiling from last night and we as a club are looking really strong again from top to bottom.

Who was that baldy fella with a big dribble of Mild down his top running about on the pitch all giddy at the end?

I love it when a plan comes together. In Ian's case it's the business plan. At the fiorst of the fans forum he outlined his strategy for getting the club back to the top. It was a question of building bricks in the wall. e had some crumbling bricks that were still on contract at Wigan and knew that he had to start from the foundations. I agree with others that the great thing about the club now is the teamwork. The backroom boys such as Mark Bitcom, Radders, the commercial team, the whole coaching set up. Everyone pulling in the right direction. Wasn't it great to see the likes of Sean Ainscough, Ben Davies, Mossop, Bails and the rest of the boys celebrating on the pitch. And alst but not least the fans. The team must acknowledge what a great set of supportes they have. We consistently take large numbers away from home and to have lads like the "erection section" going the extra mile must be inspirational for the team.
IL - thanks for having the vision and the leadership to take the club back to the top. We all have confidence with you at the helm we will be there or thereabouts for years to come.

IL has not only turned the club around but given it repspectability.

Something DW knew nothing of.

Was it Winston ?

can i have your autograph?? you were on the superleague show before hugging tommy!i always thought you were alot slimmer in person though!
