Now heres a question
Like most of my posts that are a question i am playing devils advocate here so this is not 'my' view just 'a' view
Would it have been better if we had been relagated the year we came so close. Now avoid saying no straight away and just think about it for a second. A lot of our signings i feel are quick fix style solutions to a much bigger problem and as of such dont work, tim smith for example. We are trying to run before we can walk if you will due to the massive expectation around Wigan ironically its this expectaion that grows and intensifies with every loss.
Had we been relegated well for one Barrett wouldn't have played for us so we would have been denied seeing a world class player at wigan however sam, may have been brought through earlier and got a full season behind him. Feilden wouldn't be here MASSIVE BONUS! and the team would have featured more young players and less average aussies on a big wage, then by the time we got back to SL which would of been the year after we would have found the good youngsters from the poor built a decent squad and be ready to add to it in the places that needed it.
To gain back the money we lost the PR machine could do massive work on "the rise of the phoenix" style season and how the warriors are back and hunting success. No dead wood in the team or at least less and a firm grasp on which youngsters could work for us and which wouldn't.
i re-iterate this isn't my view but certainly provides a different outlook?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Didn't need a second.Now avoid saying no straight away and just think about it for a second.
What makes you think it would have been any different had we gone down and then been fortunate enough to get a franchise?A lot of our signings i feel are quick fix style solutions to a much bigger problem and as of such dont work, tim smith for example. We are trying to run before we can walk if you will due to the massive expectation around Wigan ironically its this expectaion that grows and intensifies with every loss.
He could also have just left as could several of the young players for other SL outfits.Had we been relegated well for one Barrett wouldn't have played for us so we would have been denied seeing a world class player at wigan however sam, may have been brought through earlier and got a full season behind him.
You can only say not signing Fielden would have been a good thing with Hindsight. Had he kept his form of 2006 we would have been much further up the league in 2007,8 and now.Feilden wouldn't be here MASSIVE BONUS! and the team would have featured more young players and less average aussies on a big wage, then by the time we got back to SL which would of been the year after we would have found the good youngsters from the poor built a decent squad and be ready to add to it in the places that needed it.
I think you forget the fact we would have lost the Sky money and it is also possible IL may not have wanted to buy into an NL1 outfit with all the investment it takes to get such a team competitive to SL level once again.To gain back the money we lost the PR machine could do massive work on "the rise of the phoenix" style season and how the warriors are back and hunting success. No dead wood in the team or at least less and a firm grasp on which youngsters could work for us and which wouldn't.

No
technically we did finish 7th... which was adequate enough compared to the season before.

Re: Now heres a question
No. Relegation would have led to every player young and old being released.

Re: Now heres a question
fair enough to the comments posted, as i said not something i actually thought myself just trying to open up a forum of debate but it seems its a pretty solid no from people which i would have to agree with.
