I think he put a tweet out stating he's on holiday so no rugby news.

I remember always reading that site when Wilkinson ran it. Always got good insight not found elsewhere, he’d break stories and put a bit of opinion on it.
Now it’s beyond boring and I feel I learn nothing new reading it.

| Quote sergeant pepper="sergeant pepper"OT but it would be good to read something about the rugby for once in Wigan Today. Sadly they just seem obsessed with Latics at the moment. I don't think Kendrick (the deputy sports editor) has even mentioned Wigan RL once.
Cooper talking in the mirror that he intends to play on. Radders is/was in Oz. Marquee rule discussions happening tomorrow (I think). King talking about his future etc.
Loads to talk about, but we get to hear about the latest BS from the blue side.'"
It's embarrassingly unprofessional.

For me, the layout and sheer amount of adverts make it almost unreadable. That's before you get to the dire content

| Just three separate stories about Latics so far, but nothing about our squad announcement or the game on Friday. It's all ok tho because there's "key dates for Latics diary for next season". Beggars belief.

Fair enough if the bloke is on holiday, but surely there is somebody else at Wigan Today who can bang out a squad announcement article at least. 5 min jobbie quoting the Wigan Warriors article.

| The fact that the owners have gone radio silent for a full two days following Monday's match despite assurances that out of contract players would be paid Tuesday morning (and still haven't it seems) absolutely speaks volumes.
1) Surely there can't be a future for these owners going forward now, even if they wanted to. Six times wages have been missed now.
2) It seems obvious that the owners simply aren't interested (or cannot afford) to continue and are either looking to offload quickly or simply walk away and ignore. Surely there has to be a statement before the end of the week?
I'm just glad it's not us, our takeover (from ML and Whelan to IL) was pretty much done behind the scenes following the backlash of the salary cap breaches in 2006, it makes you appreciate how good of an owner IL has been over the last 16 years and especially during the tough covid seasons.

| 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.

that appears to be their style (if thats the right phrase) of working and trying to run a club.
dont pay, dont say anything, and then all of a sudden a tweet will appear saying everything is ok, and it wont happen again.
surely now, and i know lots of Latics fans are really f***ed off with them, it has to be time for them to sell up and move on. They saved the Latics a couple of years back, but now are just prolonging the agony and pain for the club / fans. Let someone else take it over, and if there is a pending 23 points deduction, there is a good chance that they will be a League 2 club in just over 12 months, but it will give the new owners a chance to plan and rebuild from there
