Sad to report, I was too late! it seems he is keen to join up with Derek Beaumont at Leigh, and he is 9 out of 10 sure, he will have him at the club.

Never mind I know you did your best jaybs.

To be honest, think the start of the end was 2007 when Lennegan bought Wigan then Quins "Bloodgate" in 2009 that cost us the support of Quins Chairman Jillings & CEO Mark Evans when they resigned. We were never going to get support David Ellis once he became Quins CEO to add to the stupidity of our Mismanagement Team.

If only we had someone of Mark Evans calibre running things at LB.

Quins never made life difficult for us.....as paying Tennant's we we were a valued income source, but the attitude of Hughes at the time was one of "everyone hates us"......I'm stunned a man who made so much money from selling didn't have the ability to press the RFL and SL clubs into allowing Lenegan to retain his interest in the club. He bussed down thousands of fans to wigans game at the stoop and was more than happy to see his commitment through, but Hughes was again stubborn to the extreme.
Yes....the change at the union club didn't help, but we are about to pay a similar rent to a football club.....I'll never understand why we moved from Twickenham. The club still had a core of about 2k fans......the move to Barnet killed that.....the move to the wedding venue was a step in the right direction (I was against it but admit I was wrong) but Wimbledon stinks of a Gus Mackay excuses move....
......and if you're searching for a day zero of when it all went wrong, Paul Brown stepping down on medical grounds needs investigating.....he was the last RL pedigree CEO we had......15 years ago

I have heard that Thomas Leuluai is in the frame. I cannot see it myself.

You might think given the quality & experience of the squad we all feel we will have next season, someone with real coaching credentials is required. Agree Vic that doesn't sound like Tommy but with this club you never know. Perhaps he could bring Luke & Marty to help him!

Christ on a bike. I hope not. I despair with this club.....inability to appoint key personnel who are qualified for their roles....there's a list of car crash appointments as long as my arm.....Hughes gets lucky from time to time, but in the main he's crap at recruitment.

Lenagan Leaves: He agrees to throw 2 years of cash at us as he departs.....
