    If you know it just say it and stop fucking around. ‘I knoooow something you don’t knoooow’ GAY. just say it!

    Why is it everybody outside of how a football club is run can tell when they sign a player or appoint a manager that i would say 90% of the time is going to fail. If i was Sharpe and on a very low budget for a manager and had to make a choice and take a chance. I don’t see why Cowley and co at Lincoln would be such a terrible move as a ‘chance’ but at this point in the actual history of Wigan Athletic this is one of the most crucial decisions in a long time. It HAS to be right first time. If there isn’t a promotion next season then all my predictions come true. There CAN NOT be a chance taken this time. It HAS to be proven this time. Somebody who will have them in the top 6. There aren’t many around out of work but they are there if you look hard enough. It depends on the ambition of the owners and board. But you know my views on that already. I have not made any secret of the fact that i have fallen completely out of love with football and i don’t take much notice anymore, however i still look out for the latics’ results. I spent a big part of my life following this team around the country and do not want them to go to the wall. However that is where they are heading. And i suppose the next appointment will give you an indication of the ambition of where they are wanted to be. The fact that some fans just accept the statements like ‘ah well we punched above our weight anyway’ is completely defeatest. Premiership for 8 years. F.A Cup winners, League Cup finalists, European entrants. That isn’t punching above any weight. That is going toe to toe with the very best. Why accept failure after that? Some fans need a sense of perspective. That perspective isn’t punching above any weight but lack of ambition and shutting up shop when the club was in a great position to be a consolidated top flight side.

    Nathan Jones nailed on!

    What’s his links to wigan though, as Lostock said he had some links?[/quote]

    So it’s Adkins then?

        I hope we are looking for someone with a bit more about them tan Alan Stubbs, but it wouldn’t surprise me ;)

          I can’t see it being Nathan Jones.

          I don’t think he is anywhere near experienced enough for the job in hand. Sounds like a younger version of Joyce, in all honesty. Plenty of experience as a coach and assistant, but not as an actual manager. Shouldn’t even be on any shortlist even. We need experience and proven success.

            I’d take that. Definitely.

            Adkins has played for us. I thought the clue was he hasn’t played for us but has WAFC connections.

              Nigel Atkins is in his 50’s not 40’s, plus he’s played for us, Sharpy has got down to a shortlist of 4, who will be interviewed in the next 3-4 weeks.

              That’s where we are up to, forget all this guessing games. Directement de la bouche du cheval. :whistle:

              From Matlock to ManU
              What a journey!

                The short list as it has been shown and talked about is massively disappointing. I hope it’s all conjecture and the actual list is a bit better.

                  Not sure of the Latics connection, but having looked at the betting list on here, I;m thinking LHL could be referring to Garry Flitcroft or Keith Hill.

                  Really not sure who we are looking at, doubt it will be those 2, Stubbs or Adkins though. If we could get him, I’d be fine with an experienced head like Jackett, or when they stupidly fire him, I’d take Monk.

                    I remember seeing David Flitcroft chatting to people such as Mike Pollitt before one of our games against his Barnsley side a couple.of seasons ago. I noticed how he was coming across as a passionate and very outgoing, confident bloke. From what I could see, anyway.

                      His assistant is a Wiganer – Paul Hart.

                        I’ll be disappointed if it’s Jones.

                        He’s been linked to the job before:

                          If its true VAT, you will not be the only disappointed one on here.
