As opposed to the wonderful football on show under Bruce…..I actually fell asleep at one game. And I hadn’t had one drink.
hence why I said “its only my opinion” – other’s such as yourself & Griff think differently
Whilst admitting there was some dross football served up under Bruce, in my opinion the vast majority of football under Bruce was of a higher standard & was far more entertaining than the majority of football served up under Bobby

We could go round in circles for ever on this one, couldn’t we? The phrase “agree to disagree” could well have been invented for this very situation. ;)
VAT contrary to what you might believe the vast majority of Latics fans are more than aware of how the club is performing financially & that this can’t carry on indefinitely without an extremely wealthy backer who wouldn’t want any returnon their money.
I certainly don’t need you to state it for me
All I’ve stated in relation to your original post (& that in another thread) is that I find it truly bizarre to suggest that Martinez is doing a “smashing job” because he is taking the club down (along with cutting the wage bill etc..). To suggest that this was his brief on being appointed I think is the stuff of science fiction conspiracy theories.
It also to me suggests that his inability to learn from his many and varied mistakes made whilst in the post is deliberate & that come this August we will really see what a tactical genius the fella is. Which kind of ignores comments made by Swansea fans as to his managerial style & ability whilst there.
Your theory also completely ignores a statement made by Bobby not 4 weeks ago when the WEP put to him that it might be in Latics interest to drop out of the division & he replied that “it was absolutely vital for the long term plans that are in place for Wigan Athletic for us to remain in the top flight” – he could well be lying but then you startign to drop back into conspiracy theory territory
You may be right but you can’t prove it. Its all conjecture
Even if it is better for Latics financially to spend a year or 2 out of the top flight I aint sure that Bobby is in anyway competent enough on the footballing side to be the right manager for this football club – he has shown nowt to suggest otherwise to me
Unless of course his brief has been to create a boring, mistake riddled, low scoring, inspipid relegation side – in which case then I’d agree he doing a “smashing job”
some folks just simply hate him, no matter what and can never admit if he does anything good
Nah, its not hate, i just think he is not up to the job of keeping Wigan in the Premier League. Simple as that.
And regardless of what you and your multiposter ‘one step away from another breakdown’ personna may think, i will never simply love Roberto Martinez. 20th out of 20. Very poor. Roberto Di Matteo, as a player achieved more, as a manager achieved a better success rate than Martinez in this league and was sacked.

That won’t be helpful when the Fifa Fair Play rules knock the Benefactor/Wealthy Backer option on the head. Unless there’s a couple of loopholes in there somewhere.
There’ll be loopholes alright or else some club’s would be kicking up one hell of a stink about it & they aren’t
For example United are £355million in debt or somet like that & they will still be able to compete in European competition.
On a lesser scale there were some who thought Birmingham City wouldn’t be able to compete in Europe coz of the debts of their “parent” company but they will
