In reply to last son of Wigan, just to confirm that this is not BS I will tell you who the source was. It was his Uncle's, wifes' second cousins godson who is an altarboy at St Mary's, is that close enough for you.
Believe what I have said if you wish to or not, all I know is that I WAS told by someone very close to SE, the details I have already stated, I KNOW the facts to be unfortunately true, I say unfortunately because I would love to see him back at Wigan, but I can't imagine the funds required to achieve this will be forthcoming.
