Dave Whealen has put Maurice Lindsay on the Latics board and put Phillip Williams and Brian Ashcroft(from Latics) as dictors of the Wigan Warriors.
What is going on here?

Re: Musical Chairs
As a WAFC fan of over 35 years , im horrified that Maurice Lindsay has been allowed to join the board at the Latics , this man(sic) has only ever considered himself and has now shown his true turncoat colours in joining the club that he so often belittled and berated in the past , his words will not be easily forgotten by the latics fans and i predict a torrid time for him at matches....a horrible person ...GET HIM OUT NOW !!!!
Re: Musical Chairs
Allegedly he already goes to a lot of Latics matches. Have you guys not noticed?
Re: Musical Chairs
Well that is an interesting development.
I dare say it will give the anti-Mo brigade some ammunition as they will say Mo should be looking after the RL club, not doing any work for Latics.
If they do that will be ironic because most of the anti-Mo brigade want him out and so the fact he will be doing less work for the RL side ought to be a good thing for them!
As to the two chaps heading our way I know nothing of them but given the anti-Mo brigade have been calling for a board of directors at the RL side of more than just Mo and DW, they have now got their wish. We now have a board of directors and it isn't just a one man band anymore.

Re: Musical Chairs
Some of Mr Whelan's words also rather dampen the fire of those who claim he's trying to sell the rugby team and remove us from the stadium. There's no point integrating the management structures like this if you're then going to walk away from half of the partnership. Quote: "I am proud of both my clubs and have invested heavily year on year to make them stronger. My commitment is as firm now as it ever has been, both clubs have a special place in my heart and will do as long as I have breath in my body."DaveO posted:

Re: Musical Chairs
Maybe part of the intention is to start trying to unify the town's sports fans. There really shouldn't be such a massive gulf between the two clubs' supporters.
Re: Musical Chairs
The thing about that is some people are just not interested in soccer as a sport and likewise some not interested in RL as a sport.Cruncher posted:

I am one of those not interested in soccer. I will take a passing iterest on TV but rarely watch a televised game, even a final and am certainly not interested enough in soccer to spend money going to games.
Maybe if I lived in Wigan my son would have got caught up in the premiership thing and pestered me to take him to the odd game but I find the sport like watcing paint dry. I dare say fans of tboth teams thrink the same of the other sport regardless of any predudice toward the "other" club".

Re: Musical Chairs
I agree. But I know it's always been a source of irritation to Whelan that the two sets of fans appear to hate each other. There are lots of reasons why this has come about, and both groups are equally culpable. Nothing would induce me to go and watch Latics, because nothing would induce me to go and watch football, and like you say, the same probably applies to die-hard Latics fans about RL. However, if we at least weren't so hostile to each other, maybe the big guy would be happier. Having said that, I'm sure this moving around of directors is part of a much larger, longer-term strategy than merely that.
