By the way, "dumming down" is one for the irony fans! What's up did you skive English at school, or are all rugby league fans dropped on their heads as babies?

So this so-called star sportsman is going for buttons. Blimey, with bonuses I bet the likes of Emile Heskey aren't far off earning that in fortnight! Seems this salary cap thing betrays a lack of ambition in the 'sport'.

<t>The jealousy coming off these posts is palpable.<br/> <br/> So a millionaire chairman is all you need to make it into the Prem? It didn't do Darlington or Oxford much good. Other rich man's playthings currently steadfastly avoiding the Premier League include Wolves, Birmingham, Leeds, Cardiff, So...

<r>He's certainly not anti rugby - he saved the club.<br/> <br/> My argument is that he did this by moving Warriors into his football ground.<br/> <br/> Here's another version of events from RLFANS.COM.

At that time, Wigan had sold Central Park and put some of the proceeds into a fund, hoping to build a new stadium. Meanwhile, over ...

Mate, another season in the top flight and Latics will be debt-free. That's quite an achievement when you're paying the kind of wages that Premier League footballers command,

Maybe when we don't need the money, we'll finally chuck out the lodgers.

<t>Show some respect, you mupppets. The great man's only been dead a fortnight.<br/> <br/> I'm all in favour of the South, East and West stands being named after Latics legends: perhaps Stan Jackson, Ian Gillibrand and Harry Lyon. And, as a thank-you for all that rent you pay every month, I'd even l...

Showing your ignorance yet again. Firstly, Latics is a much newer club than Wimbledon (established 1932, rather than 1889). Secondly, where are they now? Back in the bottom tier and playing in Milton Keynes.
