Secondly, and more importantly we are a different club now, Dave Whelan and Uncle Mo hugely underestimated the negative effects of a salary cap breach and I don't think they even cared. Ian Leneghan runs the club in a very different way, the admin side of the club are far more professional and wouldn't drag our club through the gutter like the previous regime.

The difference is that Salford were found out.

Because I can't understand what your point is? "If" Wigan release/Sell whatever you name it a Player then surely that would be an indication that they are up to the cap and needed to do so to get FPN in?

Where as anyone said otherwise?

PS - If he said he had a Million pounds sat in the stand wouldn't that be different to having a Million "Salary cap" pounds sat in the stand.

Assuming the other way that Sam is say on 300k then the other 6 are on 700k - Does that sound more feasible?

PPS - Bateman played however - Farrell/Joel Tomkins/Manfredi & Sean O'Loughlin were also missing so as I suspected 9 players out on either 850k or 700k dependant on what Wane meant.
Seems about right to me
