Well if that is true they along with Warrington have owners who can afford to pay the wages such players can demand. We don’t and IL obviously has no intention of selling up.buttmonkey2 wrote:Well if rumors are to be believed they are offering him £600k per seasonstateoforigin wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 10:32 pm Strong rumours Catalans will be signing mitchell Pearce ……….

If this is the sort of investment rival clubs are making we will never be able to compete with IL owning Wigan . Therefore if IL had the clubs best interest at heart he’d be looking to find someone to sell it to who can afford to compete.
People used to complain when Dave Whelan owned the club and say it was a bad idea being owned by one man. They were right on that score particularly when they aren’t able to afford to splash the cash like rival owners.

We have seen time and time again how the colour of money affects individuals and their efforts when they see someone else come in on a far bigger slice of the proverbial than themselves
