Is Maloney deluded ??

One swallow doesn’t make a summer,
Let’s get this right, the simple fact is, that win last night and defensive performance was against our most hated rivals so everyone’s over the moon but had we have played like that, backs against the wall giving 69% possession to anyone else the sh*t would be turbo flying all over social media.

That fact that that it happened against an out of form Bolton side every Latics fan were buzzing and justly so.
Hypothetical I know but, had Bolton put there shooting boots on and put all that possession to use this message board and plenty other places would be calling for his head. As a defensive performance brilliant as an attacking build up play performance woeful.

Yes we won, yes it was against those vvankers but fcukin come on!! If we play like that give up 2 thirds of the pitch, no shots for 68 minutes week in week out we’d be with the relegation fodder.

As for the remark regarding that we can’t sign anyone so that’s hindering us because we can’t pay a fee let me put that into context.

Danson has saved the day and his first job he has is to stabilise the club financially. The wage bill needs to be blown out the water to a manageable yearly amount which will be pittance over the next few years compared to previous years.

So this summer do you think Danson will go Chequebook Charlie happy buying players then wages once the bans lifted ??.

No he won’t,

most lower league clubs nowadays cannot afford signing on fees. You look at the transfer and there’s far far more clubs in the lower leagues signing players for free so I’m sure once the transfer embargo is lifted it won’t make a sod of difference.

Maloney will be given a “wages” budget and told to make that work. He won’t be given 4-5-6 million to buy players and told let’s say buy a striker centre half and a midfielder he’ll be given licence to sign out of contract players and loanees (coupled with our youth players) similar to exactly what happened last year and told to make those players fit the budget.

So to those who point the finger and say “Wait till the summer and we can sign players” we’ve always been able to sign players and been able to pay a fee won’t make a sod of difference because we don’t have the cash for fee and wages.

Anyway, let’s take the 3points, off to Fleetwood and onwards and upwards.

And before anyone has a pop, it was me not long back sticking up for Maloney while others called for his head and I got slated. I was saying we have to stick with him and give him a chance.

Deep down I truly want it to work for him no one wants him to fail but certain things of late that have cast doubts over his ability to manage us that have p!ssed me off no end.

Totally agree, but been able to pay for players in the summer won’t change a thing as we don’t have the cash to splash on pay fees. Christ we’ll be lucky to match the wages wanted by certain targeted players.

Football has changed for the vast majority of clubs. We’ve had two owners who have found out what happens when the purse strings run wild.

The two “P!ss me offs” lately are the Wyke been dumped when we’re struggling,
Stones loaned for 28 days, why?? Especially when they knew Wyke was off,
Robinson constantly loaned.
Now I know we have Chambers who I highly rate so I’ll kinda let him have that one but he won’t be here next year.
Our way out is through the youth. You only need one uncut diamond like Blackburn and Adam Wharton and your youth set up for a few years and the conveyor belt of young lads keeps running and producing.

No owner and especially one who owns two codes is in it for the money. It’s more of a rich man’s hobbie or giving back.

Personally I don’t think he’ll put much in not this summer, it’s more about stabilising the club and smashing the huge wage bill. If any club knows were splashing the cash gets you it’s us.

You can throw millions at it and get nowhere and you just end up in more sh!t than ever, spending money doesn’t guarantee you sucess.

What worries me more is the lack of a CEO and our current non existent scouting system. I would have said these are a priority. Maloney needs a footballing CEO to liaise with.

For us to survive we need a system in place were we can pick up players that have dropped off the radar and they just need a kick up the backside.

Right now We don’t have Chairman and we have no scouting which is not moving forward.

Is expect to see more of Luke Robinson Stones Cze Brennan and a few more. Me?, I’d break the bank and have a pop for Chambers. With Klopp leaving he might drop right out the picture especially with so many at the club.

If Chambers progresses he could go all the way and in a few years time with regular football at Wigan we could be in for a massive pay day when he does move on.

Maloney’s recent video interview confirms my thoughts, yes he is 100% deluded.
“I can’t criticise my players, in the really big moments Fleetwood’s levels were higher”.
No sh1t Sherlock, the big/key moments in games are the ones that count and why you win or lose games.

I don’t expect him to name and shame individuals as it’s a collective team issue but something on the lines of, I can’t accept a performance like that especially after the Bolton game or changes will be made.
Back your players by all means Maloney but a big word of warning,
When the car goes over the bridge there’ll only be you in it.

There’s backing your side when your unlucky or perform well and lose but fcukin throw the towel and white flag in ?, I’m sorry your too too close to your squad and they know no matter what happens on that pitch no roasting is coming their way, more like a Well done nevermind chin up

I’m all for “Do not wash your dirty laundry in public”, I get that and no need to point the finger at any individual, again, I understand that but not one collective team performance bad word ?, that I do not understand. Infact their performance was defended and the onus was on Fleetwood who played well reverse phycology.
Those players involved at Fleetwood know exactly what went on against a struggling outfit who’d previously won 3 in 22 and for us to let in 3 unanswered goals from going in front ? well that’s worthy of a public non acceptable roasting.

Well if I was player I’d be fully expecting a bollocking after a 4-2 drubbing to the lowest scorers in the League and a public whinge by the manager or a press moan but to come out with close on praise ?.

He’s clearly not too fussed with the way things went Sat regardless how many we let in. As long as you show willing as a player regardless then your fine.

Saturday was shocking, our collective defending was pathetic and nearly every player honestly looked like they’d thrown the towel in even at 2-2.

Poor week in week out performances are more often than not been defended or should I say, brushed under the carpet by Maloney.

Our cup cake manager needs to be sometimes be unhappy with the way we played and not praise the opposition. If you play well and lose then fine or unlucky same again.

That performance especially against a side as out of form as Fleetwood was non acceptable but not to Maloney and that for me is poor management.

If you have nothing to fear from the manager when your utter dog sh!t then you’ve no reason to put it right.

Grow some Shaun and roast um not praise Fleetwood
