      is unfortunately, that big dave took control 20 years too late. Ive been fortunate to see us rise through the leagues, and fully believe, that 20 years ago we would have had half a chance of doin summat in this league with big daves money, but the reality is, our chairman doesnt have enough money to subsidise a successful team at this level at this time.
      ive never been as dissinterested as i am now with latics, but when i think back, even in the mid 90’s when we were super cack, there was always the chance that we could compete with the best teams in whichever league we we were in. that belief now is gone.
      we struggle now to sell out at old trafford, yet a few years ago more than two thousand went to torquay.
      at first i personally put it down to me starting a family and money etc why i didnt go away as much, but i just dont enjoy it like i used too, fact is gettin here was much more fun than bein ere.
      even our so called big moments in the prem, beatin arsenal carling cup etc, doesnt come close to the pitch invasion at coventry for the 3rd round or being 2-1 up at anfield in 89. even the local derbies seemed better.

        Spot on even if the other teams in the ‘derbies’ couldn’t give a monkey’s.

            I agree with mostly what you say, but at the moment it doesn’t seem to matter about the money we have.
            We have £3m who doesn’t even make the pitch.
            Our record signing is taken off to be replaced by Jason Scotland.
            And the most highly rated Scot is replaced by Jordi Gomez.
            No matter how much money we have, if we have a manager who insists on playing one up front despite players being available to play two, then what chance have you?
            We are desperately short of goals, yet the manager still insists on playing only one striker. What more evidence does he need that one striker isn’t enough?
            At home, we have scored 11 goals this season, thats less than every team in the bottom three.
            We have a worse goal difference than Portsmouth, yet the manager still plays one up front.
            If the one up front was a Heskey or Roberts type player who can hold the ball up and bring others in you may have a chance, but Rodallega on his own up front is almost giving the opposition the advantage.
            You can see the players are tired of the system, with reports coming out about fall outs and players wanting to leave, so the money situation to me isn’t the problem.

                Good point about Dave Whelan being 20 years too late, Jack Walker spent similar amounts at Blackburn and won the Premier League.
                However this Martinez is underachieving with the money that has been spent and the talent in the squad.I don’t think we will go down whether Martinez stays or goes but we should be doing better.A team with the talent to beat Chelsea and Villa shouldn’t be struggling like this.
