Whealen appoited MO.
Whealen owns the club.

Do the decent thing DW sack MO on your way out. When we go down to the lower division i bet youll let us rot.

If he worked directly for JJB Sports or any other large company and he overspent their budget by £80,000 he would be sacked for gross misconduct. I know large sporting teams are slightly different due to differences in ownership and sponsorship. I agree that he has done more than anyone for the good of this club, however, Like Fraggle and Flash have said, maybe his best days are behind him.
If Whelan could find someone with the knowledge and vision that we need they can have the job. We need someone who is passionate about Wigan RLFC and someone who has the same fire in their belly that Lindsay had 20 years ago.
20 years ago when our glory days first started (for the current generation of fan) we bought our way back into the top flight because there was no salary cap then. It was a lot easier to go out and buy the star players and in effect buy our success. Now though we are having to work within the confines of a salary cap that IMO is far too small to allow the larger clubs in Superleague expand and develop. In NL1 with a salary cap of £400k It is going to be a lot harder and take a lot longer than before to get back to the top of the top flight.
Whilst I don't particularly like the way that Wigan Watcher constantly predicts nothing but doom and gloom and almost laughs in the face (IMO) of people who are confident we will stay up, I think he has a point in calling for Lindsay to resign, although I have a few reservations about the way his is going about it.
I knew I shouldn't have started anything about Maurice and a thong.Flash posted:
There are rumours he looks good in a thong!

Can i take it WW from your lack of reply that you have no idea about replacements?Fujiman posted:So come on Wigan Watcher Who would you replace him with and who would bankroll the club when Whelan departs with himWigan Watcher posted:
The phoenix Club getting stronger.
I heard about this salary cap situation many weeks ago and thought no it can’t be true. I remember having a debate with Flash and saying I will stick with my decision that we will go down because there will be another twist to the tale. Well here it is!
I have read many many times people defend Lindsay over and over again, you people who have defended him do not know your elbow from your backside believe me.
I look now and read most people saying Lindsay should be sacked, well halleluiah!!!!!!
I’m not going to list the very long list of mistakes this man has made but it was very clear along time ago that the man could not do his job properly and please don’t give me that one about he is Wigan through and through. So am I and I don’t think I could run the club but I will quickly add that I could do a better job than Lindsay.
So come on people stick to your guns this time and keep with the thought of Lindsay out and perhaps a demonstration should be called for.
Absolutely correct. All the loyalty in the world is useless without ability (and, I'd say, integrity). Maurice has demonstrated a notable lack of either.Stev0 posted:
I've aired my opinions a couple of times before regarding Maurice Lindsay, and in my opinion he should have been sacked well before this fiasco came to light Surely this should be the final nail in the coffin, but it seems he has friends in high places.
As for the 'he's Wigan through and through' arguement, if you employee someone for their loyalty even though they are clueless then your heading for trouble, unless he's cleaning the toilets that is, but not a place on the board!
