No one has said it you dim old fart, but you get my point. You would think that Hardaker is a baby rapist looking at the faux outrage on here.

Lets see

Good player in a position we are well covered in v drugs ban could be 2 years will he be the same player, had issues at every club, had bans/issues every season he has played and ended up missing major games for each club letting down team/coaches/fans

is a player like that worth paying big money for on a long contract? Personally I would rather use the money/cap space on a player who doesn't have such a poor record, in areas of the team where we really do need to strengthen.

I do not think he is worth the risk - surely there are other options

A lot on here probably havent broken the law to be honest. Theres a difference in doing something wrong and breaking the law numerous times and thinking its ok

What law breaking are you refering to? If it’s the cocaine he’s hardly Scarface is he? And I’d be willing to bet that a lot of posters on here have had the old sherbert up their nose at some point so have in fact, broken the law.

I have no problem with signing him.
I am bemused though that they would sign him knowing it could be 2020 before we seem him in a Wigan shirt.
Does anyone know when the ban details will be released?

the assault charge that he got convicted off and no he isnt scarface but possession of a class A drug is. Again thats their issue and if they are happy with that more fool them.

He was NOT charged let alone convicted of assault. I assume you are dead against John Bateman wearing the Wigan shirt Pieman?

paying compensation and admitting the assault? What did Bateman do? He didnt throw a punch Mossop did Bateman threw a bottle in jest and it hit Mossop that why Bateman didnt retaliate.

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned Rads' biography, in which he talks about the deteriorated Wigan culture that had to, and did, change back for the better with MacGuire. Signing a serial offender like Zak would be, IMO, a step backwards away from that progress. If it was just the drugs, I might be less concerned, but he has multiple problems going back many years. Some people are just "bad boys".

I agree. I personally don't want him anywhere near the club and also believe John Bateman should have been sacked.
