standish i knew along that what you say was the actual/probable answer to the question i asked – my problem with the whole thing is the management and players also know these facts and the players also would have known that in the general scheme of things the manager was not worried if we lost last night – and that is why the performance was so poor.
all we as fans want, win or loose, is some honest commitment to winning a football game.
when the players/manager treats us with a ‘why bust a gut when we dont want to progress and i will still get my considerable wages anyway’ atitude, it says the people of wigan who bother to turn up and pay hard earned money in the process can go and stuff themselves,and that is nothing short of a disgrace.that is what my problem is with football now in general, not a jolly in some sunnier clime for an bunch of mercenary nomarks, not one person in this whole corrupt, insular, self regulating gravy train, that is proffesional football gives a dam about ordinary fans, and i never ever thought i would include that about my own club.
some say that the club monitor this board i bloody well hope so.
Loudmouth, looks like it was all a big nothing anyway from what griff says, however, I do agree with you that football in general is one big long gravy train.
UEFA & FIFA ‘representatives’ are the worst.
I can shed some light on this…
Unfortunately gents, as amusing as the conspiracy theories are, clubs always have either/ or options in place. If they didn’t have, they end up with a week of no football, with all the other clubs on either training camps or playing – and therefore stealing a march on them.
It’s not a case of someone at the club booking a package deal with Thomas Cook. The camp, transport, hotel and flight seats/ private charter will be held, and names are submitted at the last minute (they’re a football team, so they’re allowed to do things like that). If the first team don’t use the flights etc, the Reserves will, or even the Academy.
Nothing more sinister than that I’m afraid, and, a lot of these training camps are sponsored – as destinations like Tenerife and Cyprus are trying to compete with Dubai, La Manga, Portugal etc, so it will cost the club very little or fook all.
Tea Bag, ask your friends from Quay Radio about Pompey’s trips away in years gone by. All were planned for twelve month, but hurridly arranged at the last minute, and at least two (Portugal, Dubai) were fully sponsored.

Totally agree with what your saying but most of the lads that played on Wednesday would of given 100% for the fans with the exception of Gomez & Lopez.Redmond and Mustoe were just sitting on the bench. Should have got them on in a straight swap for Gomez & Lopez.
