Surely the pertinent question is would he have won the league or even got promoted if Wigan had not broken the rules. A lot of people can appear good at their job is they are given significant resources
I don’t know what the respective budgets were but I’d wager that theirs was significantly more than ours.
I suspect Peterborough,s was a lot less too and they did a lot of whinging about who went up and who didn’t and it was primarily aimed at us. They even threatened legal action and then sensibly backed down

If Wigan hadn’t cheated then would LR have received the accolades he subsequently received ? Possibly not.
If not then he would not be able to keep telling us about how well he’s done in the past as much as he is doing
