Absolutely. We will still be paying for our poor recruitment and retention through 2012 and into 2013.

Depressing but if AP starts to act now, maybe we will see vast improvements within three seasons.

I'll support the team if agar is gone. If he's still here i won't but a pass. His recruitment has been patchy at best and his lack of development of young players has left us in a poor position which may take a number of years to turn around

Having a world class coach with loads of ambition might do the trick.

Noble's never left a club in a better financial state than when he arrived.

A bit of debt never hurt anyone. Given the choice would you rather have us 2 million in debt and Super League Champions or as we are?

Anyway ive got a feeling that come the end of the season we'll be getting a new coach then Pearson will show his intent and BUY a top class forward or centre to get bums on seats. Just you watch

Surely Wigan are a much healthier club after he took them from the brink of relegation to brink of Grand Final (twice)?

As we are, thanks. Although those aren't the only two choices.
