GET LINDSAEY OUT!
People are entitled to there own views like Fraggle said so far play in that respect but I quote:
Wigan have the right to appeal the decision but chairman Maurice Lindsay said they were not ready to make a decision yet.
"You are always disappointed with any deduction and you are disappointed when you put together what we thought was a very strong argument and it's over-ruled," said Lindsay.
"We had two key witnesses, Stuart Fielden and Harrison Hansen, who wanted to give evidence, and I thought they were very persuasive and very honest but they apparently weren't considered."
alex..where did you get that statement from?

It is far too easy to shout and scream for heads.
We need answers and we need the full story as to why the club and RFL disagree to such a large amount over the cap figure allocated to Wigan RLFC.

Whether the club agree or disagree is irrelevant the fact remains we cheated and have been punished for cheating end of argument. there is no ambiguity over £200k is there or was it the ball boys salary ??

The bit that confuses me is why have two players there, they wouldn't act as character witnesses for MO, so maybe they were there to testify they took a deferment in their wages as previous rumours had suggested. If this was ignored and the RFL went on the contracted pay as oppossed to actual pay does this mean we could appeal? does it imply we will at least be well under the cap this year or does it mean I have just put 2 & 2 together and come up with 5? :eh:

1 - curb the language.
2 - people are allowed to express different opinions, so suggesting that others should not post if they don't agree with you is ridiculous.
get a grip.
I wasn't referring to the sentiment of your message, I was referring to the way the website is used, as is my duty as a moderator. When people are angry they tend to use language which is not appropriate or otherwise infringe the rules, I'm just trying to keep some sense of normality.
The fact that I partially disagree with your call for him to go is irrelevant, I want to hear the full story first before making any decisions.
Very sorry for the language my temper has got the better of me wont happen again.
If you can give me just 1 reason just 1 to keep him in his current posiion at he club i will give him a stay of execuion.
Wigan now need To win EVERY GAME in the league to guarentee a play off place and with the inconsistancy of there game i cant see it happening.
Where is the clubs loyalty to the fans?????
I would like 2 free games to all fans THIS SEASON or reduced tickets to the final IF we get there.
This will ease the anger and pain slightly.
Maurice out,Maurice out!!!!!!!!!

So we have been found guilty by default (players deferring wages), so what about clubs that can pay players a higher wage by using offshore accounts.
Is that not in the spirit of the cap? :conf:
