He does a little bit - doesn't he let you play in his ground?

We lease the ground from him.

That's no reason for him to give us money.

Although the gleeson signing would be immense , cant help feel sorry for goulding who i feel has a lot of potential. This would be a good deal for warringtona s they are getting two players now rather than waiting till the end of the season and letting him come to us for nowt.
Saying that though , lenagan should pay the wire to take mathers away

Why would he be going to you for nothing at the end of the season?

I know most announcements seem to be on Tuesdays, but I've got a strong suspicion that we'll know about this one on Wednesday....

Just been on GMR that we're in talks with Warrington about swapping Gleeson for Mathers and Goulding.

You are Joe King and i claim my £5 do you think we are all being made a FOOL of.

If so the rumors were started a little early like last Wednesday though April fool jokes only started at Midnight tonight and ran till lunch time tomorrow.

The transfer will break down due to Wigan not wanting to pay the requested transfer fee on top of the players.

Whether IL is in the right or not, it'll be a money thing.

Ian Lenegan simply won't part with cash.

And as the article says we need to offload the two players to get Gleeson under the salary cap. We were supposed to only have £20K left under it.

would those two create enough space, after all, as we keep getting told on our board, gleeson's on nearly 150-200k or higher.

I can't imagine Goulding being on a fair wedge but I bet Phelps is.

I'm not sure that's the case. He said at the Fans Forum that they had offered cash for a player but the club wanted £70K and he thought it was too much so no deal was struck. I assumed that was for Richard Moore, in which case £70K is too much.

I get the impression he'll part with the cash but not at extortionate fees.

The major stumbling block is getting people off our cap if we have to pay cash.
