A few weeks back, Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan and General Manager Kris Radlinski conducted a fans’ forum where they not only spoke out about the problems facing the club, but answered questions from the supporters present.
One of those questions was: “All I’ve heard is doom and gloom tonight. Why don’t you sell the Club?”
The question, of course, was aimed at majority shareholder Lenagan, but the passionate owner gave a determined response, highlighting the club’s recruitment for 2022.
“I’ve never felt better about having come through the last two years of very great difficulty,” Lenagan said.
“We’ve come out of it with a decent squad. The Castleford game was the way we like to play. We’ve got two new prop forwards, a great wing man coming in from London Broncos. I think Iain Thornley will do well.
“Maybe if we can get one final player we will be in a good place. There’s no doom and gloom from me. Yes, there’s bad news – money, lots of financial problems – but we have stood here and spoke about the injuries we’ve had this year, but we haven’t said any of that.
“We actually feel very good and positive.”
