It's nice to know people still think so highly of me and think I am capable of turning Wigan around.

Never lose faith. The lads will come up with whatever it takes. They'll need the support of your dedicated fans more than ever right now. So hang on in there and never loses faith.

Interesting. Keeping an eye on the Wigan situation it would seem.

Where has he put that on his facebook?

'Never lose faith' is the most important part of this, IMO.

We've been through worse times than this and have alway re-emerged with our heads held high.

At the end of the day, all we fans can really do is vote with our feet, yet our greatest strength of recent years is that we've chosen not to.

It really pisses our rivals off that support for RL in Wigan is challenged not only by other RL teams who are vastly more effective (including Saints, who, sad though I am to admit it, have truly taken possesson of our mantle as 'the greatest power in the land'), but also Premiership football, which is near enough the greatest show on Earth, and yet still we do better than nearly all other RL clubs in terms of support.

As Ray French - a bought and paid-for St Helenser - once said: "Wiganers love their rugby league".

It's too easy to walk away. Standing by the team during the dark times is what's marked us out in the past. Let's not lose the faith now.

If I had tried to do some sort of 'I have a dream' speach in this time of need, that is how I would of done it, well said.

You can't shut Hanley up now he has retired.

When he was a player he was an ignorant pillock, and he refused to sign autographs for the kids.

I won't go near his crim record while he was at Bratfurt.

And I guess you've led a blameless life.

Sorry, but this is a daft post. Hanley was one of the greatest players ever to wear a Wigan shirt, and an inspiration to the whole club. The indiscretions of his youth, for which he paid the full price, don't detract in any way from the fact that he's now offering words of encouragement to his former fans.

At present, anyone who's 'on our side' is to be thanked.
