Wigan Warriors • Re: Latics in administration - Lenagan leading bid

Having an owner who has a connection to the area is far better. The problem with a lot of foreign owners is that they see the premier league on TV and think every club is like that.

Geographically, Latics are stuffed - they will never compete for support with the bigger clubs that surround them, and even in the premier league years, they still had a relatively small following. As shown, even trying to stay in the 2nd tier is bankrupting them.
