Sam Tickle

Fabulous news……A sign of ambition. Means he’ll be here next season at least and a tidy sum for us when he eventually moves on. Maybe a few of us off the mark concerning Mr Dansons plans for this club. I for one don’t believe for one minute he has zero ambition……too good a businessman to just pour money in to stay in league 1. Great start to the transfer merry-go-round.

Yes Danson has ambition……..For his beloved Worriers not Latics, the profits made from Tickle and co will help towards strengthening the Worriers even more and keep them top of the RL tree.

While we languish and piss fart around mid table in L1 with loan signings and freebies, sustainability only applies to one club in Wigan, even Wigan Athletic Women are getting more finances than the men.

For me there has to be 3 different separate entities. The 2 of the 3 codes share the same ground, the same owner, and were from Wigan but that’s were the similarities should end.

I’m certainly not going to start having a go at Danson when he’s basically done nothing wrong so far. He came in when there was no one else and saved us from the abyss so let’s be thankful hey !.

Now that the embargo has been lifted we’ll soon find out how his intention and whether he’s going to fast track us or build it over the next 3-4-5 years only he knows the answer to that.

I was abit taken back having a women’s thingy kick up so soon. I would have thought getting the men’s side and youth would have been the main priority not women’s but that’s the sporting climate I suppose.

Surely the women’s whatsit could have waited for 12 months plus, well till we found out feet at least.

I just hope it doesn’t financially affect how we operate in the future as the women’s game at this level brings in zero cash and has to be totally funded privately.

Time will tell chaps but as long as were joint at the hip with rugby and women’s thingy me bob then every penny spent will be analysed but the other 2 codes.

We currently can’t thank Danson enough and it’s up to him to sort the club and squad out and deliver. His ambition for Latics will judged by the amount of money he allocates to Maloney to rebuild the 14 players who’ve gone.

The only thing that bugs me is, we’re always in the position that someone’s holding the chain to the plug and they can pull it any second.
I’m sure when he took over he knew he’d have to spend. I just hope he doesn’t turn into a poor Blackpool type landlord were it’s a lick of paint, same yellow net curtains and nothings spent on improvements and we languish in L1 – L2 for the foreseeable future.
I don’t honestly don’t know how this ones going to pan out only Danson knows.

I think we’d want more than £2million, £4million minimum for me but that’s not the big deal it will be the sell-on clause. If he were to progress at say a Burnley then £20million+ in 3 years wouldn’t be asking a fortune another 25% = £5million in the bag.

Excellent news..that should start the recruitment ball rolling…….another 8 minimum needed in just over 5 weeks!!…No problem.

Negative ? I’m certainly not with Danson. It’s a simple case of, he bought a club in turmoil.

All’s were saying is, it desperately needs investment. Let’s see how the summer goes then we’ll take it from there.

He is investing. Albeit without the need of pumping millions or billions into the cause.

And just as I said, don’t go for injury hit players we sign Calvin Ramsey who’s played 5 games in 2 years with injury after injury. Injury has basically stopped him playing for the past two years.

That for me is a pointless loan
