I have no inside info but wouldn't totally rule out the Lenegan family being involved, even if it's indirectly by pulling together a consortium.

Ian kept a close eye on London whilst at Wigan and was certainly involved in trying to pull a consortium together at one point - not involving him as he was still at Wigan but by facilitating it.

I suspect he wouldn't want day to day involvement ( and quite possibly no financial involvement) but also suspect he may see if he can do anything to help ensure the club survives by helping behind the scenes.

You could argue that the 2 biggest blows to befall the club in recent years had nothing to do with Hughes.

Wigan to come up for sale, something Lenegan was always going to be interested in.

Quins Bloodgate, losing us the support of their Chairman & CEO.

That’s not to let him off the hook for some of his subsequent failures though, is it?

Genuine question
At what point does this situation become existential? Presumably at some point the RFL will require some sort of guarantee that the club can complete next years fixtures? Does anyone know?
