I don’t think we’ll survive, but apart from that, I pretty much agree with that.
And besides, the age-old question remains.
Who would we replace him with? Another new manager would come in and no doubt stay a season or two, before jumping ship.
No. Let’s go down and enjoy some really entertaining football next season. You never know, we could end up being ‘The Arsenal of the Championship’, by playing great passing football, and beating teams with it. We’ve looked good with our passing game in patches, this season, so perhaps we’ll be really good at the lower level?
If we went down and were STILL dire, then it would need looking at.
The amount of games that Latics have dominated, played some good stuff or deserved to win is a minority to the games I have seen which are (IMO) boring, turgid & mistake riddles
If that is the way that the “elite of European football try to play” then the game really is going to the dogs.
I’d better stop coz I could pick holes in what JayT wrote all day long but he/you are as entitled to your opinion as anyone else – even the “minority” of fans that you say want Bobby out, scream for his head after every result that doesn’t go our way & want to see the team play “hoof ball” (just how many inaccurate, sweeping, generalisations can you make in one article??)
As for whether Whelan is right to say that Bobby will be here for the long term. That’s his opinion. Whether keeping a manager for the long term is the best way to bring success is another matter altogether.
Of course the best teams have kept their manager’s for long periods. They are hardly likely to get rid of them every couple of years if they’re doing a poor job are they?
Its a bit of a chicken & the egg question. Which came first? Being a good manager anyway or needing the time to become a good manager? There are some managers who if they’d been given an ice age at club’s wouldn’t have been succesful (Chris Hutchings at latics springs to mind). Likewise there are some managers who have needed time to lay the groundwork for the future good work (Alex Ferguson springs to mind)

what worries me most
is most of the team will have it in their contracts that if relegated they can leave
what we could be left with could be more shyte and another relegation scrap

I thought you wanted us to get shut of most of our players.

When did you become an agent Bicky? You kept that one quiet.
If any of them have such clauses in their contracts, it’ll be the players who’d the club would probably be cashing in on anyway. Can’t see any of the younger lads have such a clause.
i dont remember saying i want players to leave maybe you can refresh me on it ?
i always thought it was a contract agreement maybe im wrong on that but we will see
end of the day i dont give a flying fook anymore what happens
