I think the footballing climate has changed with foreign owners throwing daft money around trying it on with lower league clubs.
We’ve fell foul of this which in turn drives up the fee on anyone who looks a tab decent and this is were Lowe might struggle.
We’ve spent the last 12ish years floating around largely been sold a promise and paying over inflated wages for piss average players.
Were no longer that attractive ex Prem FA Cup winning side that’s long gone.
For me Lowe is going to have a torrid time bringing in players he wants just like Maloney especially when the budget won’t allow him.
Finding a 20 goal forward then persuade him to come to Wigan on lower than average wages is an impossible task, like I said were less desirable these days.
The only way that will happen taking on a released young lad with potential and bringing him through.
We have a multi billionaire who wouldn’t miss £10million, it would be like me putting a grand in
But
He’s made it loud and clear he wants us to pay our own way but I don’t think he’s looked at what’s happened to us over the past few years.
From a Prem club with top training facilities to a club that was left for dead in the gutter with no more assets to sell.
How the hell can we come back from that then be self sufficient without investment ?
I’m baffled
