    Default Wigan for sale ?

    Heard yesterday that Ian Lenagan is looking at selling Wigan to pay off his tax bill.
    I’ve heard rumours about it for ages, is this why so many outgoings at the club, and the ex player who won’t be coming back as coach!!

    Usually selling for 1 quid is popular, could be the next on the list.

    20p and half a Freddo? Not a lot to sell really, do you get much for a rental agreement on a stadium and a one-legged Sean O'Loughlin?

    Are there any pawn shops left in Wigan?

    To be honest he's been telling me for 8-10 weeks about a big tax bill but I don't know about things like that being a minion,
    But iv now been told by a rather glum Wigan fan that it's been put in the hands of a company that will find prospective buyers.
    We all hear talk in the pub but up to now everything iv been told has been true. Personally I'd rather you kept your present owner than have a new one come in with loads of cash to spend.
    Time will tell, but you have to admit things haven't been right for a while

    There’s some money in that witchdoctor who digs up OLoughlin and gives him life every Easter.

    He’s like Jesus in reverse, comes back to life on Good Friday!

    The trouble is because Wigan are the biggest name and the biggest brand in world rugby of any code that only Russian Oligarchs or Middle Eastern oil barons can afford to buy them !

    Interesting.

    They might have to sell their ground off again.

    Ah no wait a minute

    It does throw up some interesting thoughts though not just for Wigan but other clubs including Saints. In the interest of succession planning I wonder if Eamon ever gives any thoughts as to how much longer he would carry on ? He’s no spring chicken as is Lenagan.

    I would imagine Mr Coleman will have a fair say in things

    Be careful what you wish for, some from the "middle east" i think were looking at Manly, not that long ago.

    Not going to get much for a Championship standard team and in a few months time who knows, an actual Championship team

    Not many assets and looking at some of the players a lot of liabilities.
