both, plus attitudeSouthern Softy wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 4:23 pm A final comment from Mrs SS, who was even more pissed off than me with the display last night. Why could Leeds always push us back and we could hardly shift Leeds an inch even when we had three against a winger or centre? Technique or conditioning?

Yes, of course. Noone makes money out of RL. Its a hobby, or even a putting back into the community thing.blindsideprop wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 9:22 am Wigan will continue on a downward spiral as long as Lenaghan is in charge of the club.I am sick of listening to people saying how much he has put into the club out of his own pocket.When he does decide to go does anyone seriously think he will make a loss.He is a very successful businessman and will make a profit.He has proved he is a penny pincher and the the signings for next year have proved that.As long as fans are prepared to put up with the club being also rans then he will continue to in the same vein.I will no longer put money into his pocket and I have supported this club for over 60 years.
he wont make a loss as all the money he has put in he has added to the loan he said didnt he that the club owes him, I imagine that will have to be paid when it comes time to sellMike wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 7:27 pmYes, of course.

It is a hobby to some yes,but to Lenaghan it is business,if you dont believe that then you are very naive.
You’re right Mike your not going to make a fortune out of RL but I suspect there will be loans that need paying when he does go or some sort of tax write offMike wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 7:27 pmYes, of course.

It will have to be. Unless he forgives it, which is pretty usual to get a sale of an organization which never has and never will make money.pedro wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 7:55 pmhe wont make a loss as all the money he has put in he has added to the loan he said didnt he that the club owes him, I imagine that will have to be paid when it comes time to sellMike wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 7:27 pmYes, of course.

He's running it as a business because the alternative is to spend way more of his personal money than he already has. But that doesn't mean he thinks it's a profitable business. Is something that's being kept alive that one day may break even at best. What's the chances of him turning a few million profit and paying himself back you reckon?blindsideprop wrote: ↑Sat Sep 25, 2021 6:22 amIt is a hobby to some yes,but to Lenaghan it is business,if you dont believe that then you are very naive.Mike wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 7:27 pmYes, of course.
