1. Do you want us to stay up?
Yes
2. Why?
Because I want the best for the club and I think we have grown recently and Bob’s “next level” talk might just be coming true. And I like to think we are winding up the establishment3. Would you think it would be a disaster if what you didn’t want to happen happened?
No
4. If we stay up, where do you see the club in 5 years time?
Playing better football, hopefully with a couple of European tours throw in. Bringing in the best young talent around
5. If we go down, where do you see the club in 5 years time?
It all depends on the first year and if we really want to get back into the Prem. I think we would be a promotion contender for five years even if we don’t actually get up
:happy-partydance:
It certainly ranks with all the biggest games. We need to be looking at six points from the next three, but I think its vital that we get above Blackpool or we are buggeredd
I do have faith in our lads though
Simple facts
Rooney has a screw loose and will never have a World Cup winning temperament
Clattenberg is a coward
It would be good to see the younger players getting a crack at Bolton. And then let’s see them in the Prem even if it’s just for experience if we are facing the drop
Whelan initially said three years to reshape the team. We are seeing some signs of it, but it is difficult not to be disheartened when you are playing teams who are throwing cash at players.
I say give it three years. If we are relegated that is a chance we have to take.
If the experiment fails I will hold up my hands and say it’s time for a change.
However I still believe that our time was probably up in the Prem, for the time being, unless we get billionaire behind us. That isn’t going to happen.
Because of our financial situation it is all a gamble, but I think it’s worth it to give Bob a chance. He will always be a great hero at Wigan Athletic.
As for the football being carp, I think we have been involved in some great games this season.
Negative? Outsiders would have seen that as an exciting game last night. Plenty of chancesa and end-to-end football.
As for MOST people wanting Bobby out, that’s just not the case. Most of the noisy, whiny people want Bob out, but they are not the majority. The majority want to support Wigan Athletic and not get involved in this constant whinnying like horses being castrated.
As you say, we all have differing opinions and I appreciate not all the moaners are JCLs, I only say that to wind a few people up. I have also been watching the Latics for many years – 35 and counting now.
However what I don’t accept is this immediate reaction to boo certain players and boo the manager when he is making changes to a team that isn’t working. My reaction at times is to shout angrily if something goes wrong but I don’t boo them. I believe that the noise our fans create when they are getting behind the team is vital to any fight for survival.
I believe every one of our players put their hearts and souls into the game last night and we have a manager who is willing the live and breath Wigan Athletic, just like us. We are amazingly luck in that respect. Remember Steve Loyalty Bruce. Maybe things are not all rosy at the moment but we do have time to turn things around, even if it means relegation from the Prem.
I honestly believe that in years to come Bobby will build a team that plays attractive football and will win trophies at the top level. However I am also realistic enough to accept that we will not break into that horrendous monopoly at the top of the Prem.
I am the kind of supporter who gets angry when someone slags off my team. I am devastated when it is our own fans. Again I accept people have a right to air their views but to boo players coming on the pitch is totally out of order and has only started to happen this year.
And it also strays away from the more serious subject of a woman knowing more about football than him and knowing how to support your football club when things go a little badly.
