Did we let Hanson leave because we weren't prepared to pay a top wage to keep him, the answer is yes. Decent player nothing else, Bateman is far superior and yes Hansen would of been on the bench.







This has to be comment of the year since most of you never go the match, home or away. Arm chair super fans lol

I suppose you are right, when i'm at the match i don't get the replays, adverts, commentary etc

A lot of us must have missed that survey reference the number of posters on here that go to game.





Maybe we were all at the game





Regards , EW

Look at all the tumbleweeds when talk about actually going the match was mentioned, EW take a picture of your season ticket and post it up to prove me wrong

Id almost forgot it was half term. Is it back to school tomorrow?

If EW is the person i met at The Stoop once over, he travels more than most to watch Wigan...

If you were going to call someone out for a world's greatest fan contest, would you pick someone who takes the time, trouble and expense to follow us from Scotland?

Not really... Nice guy too....

You couldn't be further from the truth.

EW and his son travel to most Wigan games (guess where they live)

They probably put more miles in per season than any other Wigan fans.



I respectfully suggest that you offer them an apology.

That may be the case but an average player at Wigan can earn star wages elsewhere. The same will happen again and again with the salary cap that is in place. I certainly dont think its a reflection of Hansen or is abilities. I would be fairly certain that Hansen is on way more than Bateman at the moment, does that mean he is a better player?

If he was a better player Wigan would of paid out to keep him, Shaun Wane has said he'd of liked to keep him but wouldn't raise his wages to compete with Salford. We would of kept Liam because he's a far superior player than H.



As for an apology lol not seen a season ticket yet from the super fan, or any of you super fans for that matter.



Anyone wondering about the attitude it's a direct response from cocky replies from armchair superfans who consider themselves masters of the game. A simple question about actually going to the match induced panic in them, i'm sure this forum could roll out at least 10 season tickets if you all group together. Now if these people want to carry on a discussion without the "we're better than you" attitude i'll respond appropriately without laughing in your direction

It doesn't matter who is on what wages really. Whenever we sign anyone who looks a bit average our coaching staff often get more out of them. It's works the other way as well. When players leave sometimes they don't look as good, probably because they left the Wigan environment.



So the point is, what matters is how any player goes [uwhen he plays for Wigan[/u. Does he respond to the environment in a positive way or not? Does he get picked week in, week out when fit? Hansen did both for the best part of 10 years. Anyone slagging him off hasn't got a clue.
