I know we will never really know this but i always wonder what type of sacrifice for IL it is to plug the gap, not for any negative reasons, for example you always got the impression the for DR koucash it was always spare change.

Well IL thank you for keeping our club around again! I very much appreciate it.

I will second that comment, "Thank you" Mr. Lenigan.

Yes, thank you Mr Lenegan, for your fantastic stewardship of our club ????????????

When I read this in "Wigan Today" I immediately thought IL should be applauded for investing in this great Club.
Thank you Mr L!!

Its another loss though, not as big but don't forget wigan won the world club championship last season it has to be worrying that the club in the last few years cant seem to buy a profit.

This certainly isn't a dig at IL,far from it but lets be fair he's not getting any younger what happens when he decides to step down? all very well saying his family will take over but do they have the love he clearly does for the club to keep slapping the chequebook down and meeting the shortfall?

I don't like his "come back" policy in regards to players but he has been very good for the club,but looking longer term the club has to start paying its way in case the time comes when the Lenegan family don't wish to be involved.

Wigan does spend a hell of a lot on infrastructure. I wonder what a reduction in gate prices would mean even a drop to £18 for the South stand and £20 for the East... larger crowds, more spending on pies.

Personally I only buy a pie and pint.

Just also shows the lack of RL sponsorship in general if A well backed sponsored club like Wigan is reporting losses.

Well done IL keep it up.

The money you spend at the stadium doesn't go into Wigan's coffers, it goes straight to the stadium management nothing to do with Wigan ????

IFL is first and foremost a supporter, we are in good hands. The Wigan public need to support both him and the team.
