| Quote ="Egg Chasing"But why did the board sell to Tesco? Could it have been because the gang of four that you praise so much had continued to operate under Maurice's business plan of "spend what you want and win at Wembley"? I've mentioned it before, but on the Up n Under documentary he is told we don't have a pot to urinate in and then signs Offiah for 400k.
The reality of what happened between those seasons is that we lost to Salford, didn't win the league and the house of cards that the gang of four had built on pillars of sand crumbled instantly.
Crowds have dropped from 2015 because, as me and Rogues have already said, the structure of the game has killed the importance of games and fans no longer wish to buy a ST and miss half the season.
Central Park was great but if we stayed there how much would it have cost to renevate it, or would it now look like Wheldon Rd or Belle Vue? Imagine if DW had bought it, Latics made the PL and we were kicked out of CP!!!! IMAGINE IF THAT HAPPENED!!!'"
Had our average crowds increased year on year with increased success to 16,17,18k+ you could fully understand ML and Co. investing in new world class players like Offiah. The problem was he didn't put an extra 1000 bums on seats (which would probably have covered his transfer fee plus wages) throughout his time with us. It was never going to be sustainable and ultimately all came crashing down where we nearly ending up us being classed as Horwich RLFC.
And I say this as someone who enjoyed every moment from 1982 to 1995, what a ride we had.

| Quote ="Ruddy Duck"Its not about banging on about the old days, but the future of the game as the statisics show that the game is no longer attracting supporters as it was prior to the mid nighties when it attracted many of the top union players from this country and all over the world.
The simple truth is that there are now too many clubs here in the North of England for the declining number of people now watching it and the number of quality top class players in it.
Why do you think that the club has gone into rebranding, when they look at the average attendances between 2015 and 2019.
We are now going into a new season but unlike Football where the clubs are all playing their home games on their own grounds, our game is again having to put up with the nonsense of clubs playing home games on other clubs grounds because Sky Sports do not or will not move their equipment around to all grounds. A decision which could have a further detrimental effect on the attendances when the game returns to normal, especially here in Wigan where if it is anything like last year, our team will be playing all their home games away.
It time that you and the handful of your cronies on this website stopped trying to ridicule other supporters comments and opinions and started to listen to what other supporters have to say!
Its called having respect for others which sadly is no longer taught in schools!'"
And after yet more banging on about how it's not as good as it was back in the day, I still don't have a time machine for you. I don't know what you're looking for. Do you want the forum just to be a load of people reacting to every development with "it's not as good as in the 80s"? Do you want us to all club together to buy the club and build a smaller more crumbly stadium?
No one is saying that rugby in the 80s wasn't brilliant, but we can't go back there, so why let it spoil enjoyment of the game today? If you joined us in the present for 5 minutes, then you might realise we have a pretty good team that is well run and playing in a very good stadium (by RL standards).

Not arguing though is he? Simply asking for the debtors which you claim we have. If you can provide them at your earliest convenience

Are you really that thick. Look at the accounts on companies house. It has a negative balance sheet. Ergo, it’s insolvent! I get approached all the time to value a business and if someone approached me to value wigan, I would say not to bother as it doesn’t generate any profit and it’s insolvent. It’s worthless. You would pay £1 and that’s it. Unless leneghan is willing to write off the 6m or so the club owes it.

Jesus. Look at the accounts at companies house. Your club owes £9m which is due to be paid within 12 months.
I get you are all upset that your club is worthless but don’t take it out on me!

Unlike Wigan, St. Helens are solvent and would therefore be attractive to a potential buyer

You'd best tell Mike Danson your concerns as he has already paid waaaaaaaaay over the odds for his 25%

Dude. Just leave it. You have no idea what you are talking about. You can lose money and be solvent or you can lose money and be I solvent. Wigan are insolvent. For the millionth time, Wigan’s liabilities outweigh their assets whilst saints don’t.
Stop arguing over something you have absolutely no clue about you whopper

Another 6/7 years at the current rate of losses and it won't.
And owning a 30 million pound stadium that NO-ONE would buy at that price and as an aside if you did sell would mean that you had nowhere to play isnt really that Impressive.
If your HK backers call in their 22million plus they're owed your in big trouble.
As it stands, IL owes IL, that'll do for me.

Seems legit. I've got a tenner, so IL will snap my hand off for 10x your valuation, and I'll find it impossible to then sell the club on for a profit. Oh no, wait, IL wouldn't sell it to me for a tenner, and if he did then I'd be able to sell it on for far more the same day and instantly become a multi-millionaire in the process.
I sincerely hope these people approaching you to value businesses are just keeping you busy.

What changed your mind old boy? I thought you couldn’t be bothered
Why don’t you do everyone a favour and just use a few of your usernames and you can all talk to each other. It’ll be the most activity your mams back bedroom in Parr has seen.
