WJ

He aint much kop if what I have seen at the DW this season is anything to go by.

When he was given the job I thought , what does he have to offer ?. Months down the line I’m thinking the exact the same. Sharpe must question why the hell did Latics give a guy with hardly any League management experience a 3 + 1/2 yr deal ?, who’s idea was that ?. Malky and Coyle got rolling contracts and even though they were utter crap but they had alot more experience.

For me this is as bad as it gets, in the bottom 3, no winning, not scoring, no shots on goal, and a small army in midfield and non with any attacking ability.

If your reading this Sharpe, use some of the Yanic money and pay the guy off. Bring someone in who can play players in their right positions and motivate the players to stay in this division before you end up with venkiboy egg on your face and a told you so………

Jacobs back next week might be his saving grace.

I have a feeling Sharpe and his henchmen will have been weighing up the situation over the weekend and looking at what it cost to get shut and who’s available to steer the Latics ship away from the drop.

As fans we all complain when were not winning sometimes wrongly but that’s just in our nature as fans simply because we go to football to hopefully watch our team win, celebrate, feel good factor, banter. But on the same token we also recognise that in times gone by we might not have had the best players but we can see when they put the effort in in and the managers trying everything at hand and if it does go our way so be it bit of a moan, dust down and get ready for the next game but at the end of the day were behind the players and the manager.

In this case it’s totally different and it’s all there to see, players are doing as the manager says, fans are trying to stomach it but still cheering them on, board supporting the management. The players right now certainly don’t lack for effort, you can call Max Power all you want but he’s doing as instructed, stifle and harass all over the middle of the middle of the park and by all accounts while suffering from a hernia.

Buxton playing injured while Alex Bruce is still recovering from a serious injury ?, and the method in your madness signing injured and unfit players please explain, are we the new Battersea rehab home for injured, unfit and unwanted players ??.
Obertan is not just fit but also carrying an injury and bringing in players that haven’t played for months quote: WJ “The new players need time”. Little tip WJ , if my car’s on the blink and I’m struggling to get to work I don’t go out and buy another knackered car then send it in to get it repaired I buy something that can “Hit the road running”.

If the poor results were based on the lack of player quality or plain old unlucky then Joyce wouldn’t be under any kind of pressure but the proof of the pudding is the match day performance, decision making of the lowest calibre not seen since the days of ping pong Coyle and now there’s rumour of player unrest, I’m beginning to wonder if it’s anything to do with wearing shorts.

I’ve just been looking back through the modern day history of the club and I am struggling to find a worse period were the stats and figures have been as poor as they are now on such a consistent basis.

In today’s business world if you walked into the boardroom and showed the Latics monthly figures and stats on any pie chart you’d be P45’ing it all the way to Brocel House. You’d stand a better chance of keeping your job if you showed a picture of a Pooles pie.

I’m sorry Joyce, I had my doubts when your appointment was made and to be honest I’m sad to say it’s turning out I was right. Training youth teams is not the same as training League team and your like a duck out of water. Good managers all go out in every game to win whether it be a Man City or a non league side or it’s pointless playing the game, your philosophy is not to lose the game as apposed to go out and win this game and right now that’s not what Wigan Athletic need. I would sooner see us go down fighting rather than the try and score against us method you’ve imposed on the squad.

The stumbling block is the stupid idiotic 3 1/2 year deal he was given to him rather than a 12 month rolling like the rest got. I’m sure without this deal in place he would be long gone. To me it sounds like Sharpe was blinded like a rabbit in a car’s headlights with Joyce’s CV that more than likely read like a who’s who of some of the most talented young players in the country non of which will come to Wigan.

I’ve said it before, Stock car driving, Rally driving, F1 driving, similar granted but totally different from each other and all requiring different skills of some sort.

Same goes for managing/coaching a kids side, managing/coaching a youth side, managing/coaching an amateur non league side and managing/coaching a Professional League side.
Only a small handful of managers make the transition successfully and Joyce is not one of them, in my eyes he’s 15-20 years to late for the job and should do what he does best, train young men at Youth level to become top pro’s which is just as valuable as a managers jobs at League level

Now that iv’e had time to calm down after Saturdays depressing spectacle I can now take stock of our situation and have arrived at the conclusion.GET RID ASAP and give us half a chance to avoid the drop.There were no positives to dredge from that absolute pile of crap and there has been no marked improvement either position wise or performance since his arrival..Stuff saving the Yanic cash for a possible league 1 season,use it now to pay him off.Serves the dick right whoever agreed to a 3 1/2 year contract !!!

something about a manager that wears shorts does not seem to work
