It’s making me laugh how people are saying IL will buy them and Latics fans calling him out for trying to buy the stadium, I think someone called him a leech. IL is not stupid, I am sure he looked at owning both but either didn’t have the cash or could see it was a money pit. The next best thing to do is to protect your investment and secure the stadium for the rugby, the money Latics could have saved on the upkeep could have gone towards the players. I am not sure what Dansons stance is but just because he’s rich doesn’t mean he should part with him money and that goes for the Rugby as well.



I am sure they will be bought out but they need to let go of the idea that they'll ever be a PL team again. They are a Championship side at best. Stay in your lane and remain in L1 for a bit I say.

IL is at the point wheres he starting to scale back his duties regards the club. (Recently promoted Rads for instance). He's already recently put out a statement regarding business continuation with his sons and/or Mike Danson.



Absolutely no way IL is thinking of saving the football club "unless" as part of a consortium of local figures with enough money reserves to support and grow.



At the end of the day Wigan Rugby League should stay out of any comments to the press until circumstances affect them.



I'm just glad it's not us.

I don’t see how IL buys Latics to be honest. Both clubs under one banner sounds good in theory but in practice I don’t think will work which is a shame.



I just hope whoever does buy Latics actually gives a toss about them and runs the club properly and grows the club. I’ve grown in admiration for the club in recent seasons despite not being a football man myself and would hate to see them go the way of Bury.



A strong Latics and strong Warriors benefits the whole town. I just wish more fans from both clubs could see it that way.

Anyone been past the ground recently ? A few Latics supporting mates of mine were saying the pitch was in a right state, dug up then nothing, now they may well have just been on the wind-up with the cup game soon but I wouldn't put it past these owners to start the work then not pay the contractors way things are going

With those two gone is there anyone actually in the country to do the day to day running of the club ?

No but it’s being reported that there are people at an advanced stage to take over and be new owners.

Sold "subject to EFL approval" straight from latics website

That shouldn't be hard to do if the last two lots they've had have got through.



Here's hoping we get a fair crack of the DW whip.

And so it starts all over again.



Is there any point even asking what the next owners will think about sharing the stadium with us, or will this lot not be around that long either?

Nothing to do with Lenagan according to Kendrick.
