what do people want/expect from a club that has been punching above its weight for 8 seasons – 7 more than what i thought it would have. if you would have told me in 2005 that fans in 2012 would be moaning about the club not spending enough money on better players/coaching staff etc. to compete in the premier league, i would have thought you’d just escaped from winwick.
in my 34 years of watching wigan i’d never have thought we would be playing in the top division. in the past i watched wigan & TBH never really cared much whether we won, lost or drew. i turned up to watch my team & to enjoy watching a football match. if we won – great. if we lost – there was always next week. since we have got into the premier league there has developed a lot of in-house fighting between fans – hence the birth of darkside .v. lightside. whilst its important for all fans to voice their opinions on performances, the team, manager etc, why cant we all be united in supporting our team and simpy accept we do not have the finances to get into the top 8. as long as we are in the premier league, we will simply be one of those teams in there to make up the numbers.
at the end of the day, we have been in the premier league for 8 seasons now, so the club, management, coaching staff & players MUST be doing something right.
