Re: George Williams
I'm a better fan than you
Because I don't "Boo"!!!
Yes I bloody know transfer fees do not count on the salary cap for those illiterates that need it explaining to them because they assume everyone is as thick as they are![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Re: George Williams
While Danson has added some extra clout to the boardroom and hopefully lessened the clubs total reliance on Lenegan I don’t feel he’s the sort of bloke to start splashing that cash on players.cherry toffee wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 2:38 pm In pre season the club said it was under the cap but was thinking of making a mid season signing like last year,since then Burgess has finished and Mike Danson a millionaire has joined the board,added to this Hastings is leaving along with probably Gildardt and Leuluai and clubb will probably retire and still apparently we can't out bid Warrington for a player who wants to play for us
Maybe wrong but we shall see
Re: George Williams
Nothing new on Williams, Club want Trueman if they cant get Williams, but I cant help but think signing Aidan Sezer makes more sense, he's off contract at the end of the year, sorts the kicking duties issue out as well.

These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Re: George Williams
The guy at Warrington doesn't seem to have a problem with splashing the cash,but the main point of my previous post was that we still had a bit of room under the cap and we are potentially losing four players next season and still can't compete

Re: George Williams
who has said we cant compete? we may not put that value on a players salary. i know that there are exemptions for marquee players in the team, but at the same time a player is only worth as much as a club(s) are willing to pay for themcherry toffee wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 1:23 pm The guy at Warrington doesn't seem to have a problem with splashing the cash,but the main point of my previous post was that we still had a bit of room under the cap and we are potentially losing four players next season and still can't compete
if Wigan only think he is worth £250k but another club is willing to pay £500k then i personally dont think Wigan should pay £500k as they need to balance the books. The club also be able to keep a squad happy and having such a massive disparity has the recipe for causing problems when contract renewals come around. i appreciate that there are always star players who get better paid than others, but the club need to be mindful that there are 25 players in the squad, and each one of those will want as much as they can get for their salary, and you wont always keep them all happy

Re: George Williams
I agree with what your saying pieman but Dan 2266 posted that wigan were very concerned that Warrington were going to outbid them ,if wigan were only going to pay a certain price why would they be very concerned if someone bid higher?

Re: George Williams
I agree,they tend to be very careful how they spend their money it amuses me that people think he will allow wild spending at the club when all that seems to have happened is the club going into a more careful mode of spending because of Covid etcCaboosegg wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 12:01 pmRich people don't get rich by splashing the cash.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 5:38 pmWhile Danson has added some extra clout to the boardroom and hopefully lessened the clubs total reliance on Lenegan I don’t feel he’s the sort of bloke to start splashing that cash on players.cherry toffee wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 2:38 pm In pre season the club said it was under the cap but was thinking of making a mid season signing like last year,since then Burgess has finished and Mike Danson a millionaire has joined the board,added to this Hastings is leaving along with probably Gildardt and Leuluai and clubb will probably retire and still apparently we can't out bid Warrington for a player who wants to play for us

Re: George Williams
Time for a regime change then, No good being the biggest RL club in the world if the chairman wants to run it with bargain basement & project players, I know we probably can't afford a lot of big name players but we should at least be seen to be talking to themfozzieskem wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 2:49 pmI agree,they tend to be very careful how they spend their money it amuses me that people think he will allow wild spending at the club when all that seems to have happened is the club going into a more careful mode of spending because of Covid etcCaboosegg wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 12:01 pmRich people don't get rich by splashing the cash.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 5:38 pm
