Lets pray he isnt a fan of tippy tappy, negative boring one up top walking football. Totally had enough of crap like that when the only thing matters is not losing.
Lets get back to proper Latics football binned off when Martinez arrived.Heard he loves the tippy tappy football Donny and it’s what the owners were looking for. None of that bigun and a littleun rubbish.
Well it’ll be fishing on Saturdays then. Won’t be paying to watch shit like that again falling asleep in the stands.
Who knows what this board wants.Tippy Tappy is the style City play and they certainly aren’t boring to watch.
As someone said, it just needs to be done with speed.
It was the style we had under Bobby and others and that was with more superior players and from day one 95% of the time that was dire to watch. Awful turgid rubbish.
Oh and City wouldn’t have Josh Magennis up top on his own and the attacking midfielders and wing backs we have.
Pike fishing season will do my mental much more good.Look I wanted Richardson to succeed and push on this season but it just wasn’t to be for reasons we all could see.
I’m sure he got a fair few quid in the shape of a payoff which our owners didn’t need to do, they could have simply sacked him saving themselves a fair few quid.Is Kolo Toure the right guy ? only time will tell. He has 6 months for me and a transfer window to put things right because if he doesn’t we’ll end up back in League One amassing debt hand over fist.
I so wanted things to work out for Richardson but he’s resounding loyalty to senior players and he’s unwillingness to give new signings a go and young players has forced the owners arm and up the back who decided to give him the golden handshake they simply didn’t need to do.
I’m hoping Kolo gives every player a fair crack of the whip and he tries to inject a bit of pace and width no one can deny into our starting 11.
I personally think Kolo Toure is an excellent appointment and a very brave one by our owners and we should all get behind both for taking a chance on us cause let get it right, were never gonna fill our stadium again nor do we have a huge catchment area.
You can only really start to pass any judgement as a whole at the end of the season as this is an inherited side so I’m hoping he gets the chance to bring in 3 or 4 in Jan.
Had Richardson stayed in charge we would have gone down that I’m certain of and so was the clubs owners or he would still be manager.
Kolo Toure has played and coached at the very high level and under some of the best managers out there. Granted it doesn’t make him prime managerial material but I’m sure their experience will have rubbed off on him. This gets respect off the players as to his achievements in the game.This can go only 1 of 2 ways
1) It’s all too much for him and he’s sacked in 12 months
2) He drags us from the brink of relegation and in 2 years has us knocking on the Premiership door.If…..by miracle we did reach the Prem get ready for a flash sale of the club when we’re at our highest worth would be the time to recoup
I just want to watch exciting football. Long passes, short pass and move. A wide man taking defenders on and crossing high to a striker or going around a defender and cutting back a cross to an oncoming striker or midfielder. A grafter type in midfield or midfield general who can battle and take on defenders. A striker or even two who will come back and defend but who can dribble a ball. Remember dribbling, it was fab. I like defenders to be defenders but when it’s right to bring the ball forward and overlap with the winger.
All much better than an insistence of pass, pass, pass sideways or backwards.
Please Kolo get back to my preferred way, the Latics way the likes of what we haven’t seen since Steve Bruce’s days.Sorry but we only had the best league side we ever had then. Not as entertaining as the Jewell move through the leagues but much better to watch than anything weve seen since.

I will be behind KT, but this is a shit or bust second half of the season for me. If it proves to be a disastrous appointment, I will relinquish my season ticket of 40 years and spend my hard earned cash & time on catching a specimen salmon. Football in general has changed from the heady days of our youth and I am not certain that all the changes are for the better of the game or the loyal supporters.The amount of money we spent under Bruce we should have had a good side. His football was crap to watch though and we blew European football because he basically packed in knowing he was walking away and leaving us AGAIN.
As you’ll see from his recent appointments he’s failed to change his philosophy with the times.
You may not like it, but 442 a big one and a little one just isn’t what football is about nowadays. I’m going to predict right now that Kolo won’t play 442.

And that would be a real shame to not return to playing ‘The Wigan Way’.
We are at that stage where we do need to end the lacklustre, boring, turgid bilge type passing for passings sake one up top or big boot to one up top rubbish. We have a glorious opportunity to see wingers and strikers and it would be such a crying shame to yet again have another variation of what Roberto brought to our club.
Oh and well said Ally.You’ll have to let me know what the Wigan way is seeing as one manager since 2009 has played 442 and that was Owen Coyle.
Think that says enough TBH.
Coyle was only disliked because he was a Wanderers reject. He worked a miracle in getting a squad together that could compete after the mess left after Martinez took us down. We had to get up and running and compete in Europe too.Remember his side made the play offs too.
His football was no worse than the rubbish churned out by Roberto 95% of the time.
Anyway Eggy I will agree to differ with you about football styles we all have different opinions.
