Cant see him joining a UK club , He ll prob want be far away like Oz. The ppl black mailing him, i would too

At last !! someone speaking the truth.

All this 'maybe', 'if', and supposedly' is from people not taking the hints posted in these threads about Gleeson.

HE HAS GONE.

Pryce hattrick today, looks lively on the hihlights of todays game.

I cant wait for the announcement, that is an appology waiting to happen if i ever saw one,

Don't think that was his point?

Then if he has, the club needs to make a statement saying so and it needs to tell the fans what the plans are to replace him. There would not be any club without the fans and we spend a lot of money supporting the team so IMO the club should keep us better informed. At the moment we are an experienced player down, the team is weaker on that side and all we know is a very capable player is not being picked, may not be Wigan player any more and have no idea how the club will deal with the problem of his loss.

There is no need to go into detail just tell us what the position is. The fact it's gone on as long as it has is a screw up on the clubs part, statement or no statement. They should have got it sorted quicker than this.

Why should they? Seeing as we don't know what it is we can't possibly comment on how long it should take.

The club don't need to tell the fans anything if they don't want too. The fact we have pre season dinners, end of season dinners and fans forums is a hell of a lot better than some clubs.

It's all speculation at this stage and what happened to locking these threads?

I'm surprised the club didn't just announce that he's injured and don't know how long he'll be out. Leaving it open has caused more speculation than anything.

Was definitely at our game friday night, Agar confirmed it in the press conference, also said he was just guest of Longy, nothing more.

And Kath was definitely in Wigan today. She was at the Wigan U18's game.

What position did she play?

Hooker

Gleeson has signed a 2 year Deal with Cronulla.

She'd have to pay me, as well as providing me with a blindfold and a large tub of swarfega.

The only fact here is we are missing Gleeson, especially in defence. The club will take as long as they need to sort everything out for the good of the team and player, I've seen nothing during Ian lenegans time in charge to suggest otherwise. I dont see how constantly moaning that you "have a right to know" (you really don't!) is going to help?

Left Wigan. Oz in 2 weeks, Cronulla sharks. Done.

We get a transfer fee?

Until anything is confirmed Gleeson is still at the club, so anyone who says otherwise will just have to wait for news from the club.

I had forgotten about it on the whole, if the club could make an announcement they would.

I trust IL to sort it out in the RIGHT way, not to just come and give us all the gossip. Our clubs now seems to pride itself on how it looks in the press. Look at the Leeds saga last year for example and we made them look like idiots.

I would much prefer any situation like this is dealt with behind closed doors, obviously I would like to know but that is a selfish view not looking at the feelings of the club or Gleeson himself.

Yes we miss him but Joel was quality in the final quarter at centre, he could be a serious weapon and open up a space in the backrow which is packed with talent all the way down through the players who play in the 20's.

They should have got it sorted quicker because that is in the best interests of the club. Simple as that. I cannot see how anyone can think its been a good thing to have this drag on as long as it has.

It's also in the best interest of the player because the longer it goes on and the fact the club remains silent opens the player up to all sorts of possibly unfounded and detrimental speculation.



I am not sure what pre-season dinners etc have got to do with this but the club dragging this out in complete silence does no one any favours and either not having him in the team or not getting him out of the club is detrimental to the squad.

No one wants a blow by blow account but all the bar room lawyers speculating why nothing has happened more quickly are just fuelling the rumour mill as much as anyone speculating as to what really happened. There is one way to stop all that - get it sorted out and stop dragging it out.

I agree with DaveO, as far as I can see there are only four possibilities

1.Player is injured and not available for selection,
2.Player is on some kind of leave of absence
3.Player is suspended pending some kind of disciplinary situation
4.Player has been sacked.

Surely the club could make a statement saying which of these applies (without any legal issues clouding the issue). At least then everyone would be aware of the situation or status.

The club has a right to inform the fans, we pay money to watch the best players play, Gleeson isn't being picked and as a supporter and season ticket holder at the club then i have a right to know why he isn't being selected. This Gleeson saga needs to be brought to an end, Gleeson no doubt wants it to be over, his tem mates would like it to be over and all the wigan fans would like it to be over, some come on Ian Leneghan.......GET IT SORTED!

Im sure Lenegan is getting it sorted, and untill it is sorted, you wont hear anything. I really dont see the problem.

So you don't think the speculation fuelled by the silence is detrimental to the player? Or not having him in the side if he is still a Wigan player is bad for the team? Or if he has no future here the fact it is dragging on is not bad for the team and player? And ultimately while the fact we don't know which of those it is, is probably the least important concern, annoying the fans who [ido [/ifeel they have a right to know is simply not good PR by the club which could be accused of being rather arrogant and treating the fans as insignificant?

IMO for all those reasons above the club has handled this badly.
