Just seems like an easy out does this, If true. There are far more managers with potential than Coyle. Though he did do a good job at Burnley and in Scotland but hit a brick wall with funds at Bolton.
I don’t think Whelan is interested in progression though. All money to him, No other chairman pimps out his managers or players. It’s a laughable way to conduct yourself if you were slightly interested in progression. Money, money, money, Sod the fans. We don’t deserve a football club after all though do we as we don’t sell out every game according to him and line his pockets. If he doesn’t get his own way he cries to the relevant people who will listen. You won’t get bums on seats if you don’t show that you want us to progress. Not just spending cheap and hoping for a fluke promotion to come straight back down again. It’s time to hand the club over. If it’s in profit then it will sell, Not how Dave makes out how no one wants it, no money ever comes in, not a pot to piss in blah blah.
On 2 June 1978 Wigan Athletic were voted in to the Football League.I really do think this is one time we can say “look how far we’ve come”.

Oh i thought this was a thread dedicated to thty
Glory hunter :P :P :P
Very interesting though to see that Bristol City, Ipswich and Blackburn’s owners are so rich and they are where they are.
I really am concerned that Whelan is the reason that Roberto has left, I think he was being asked to carry on without much financial support and without being able to bring in many new faces.
That is is a fair point if you are to read between the lines of Whelan’s statement on Martinez asking to leave.
Without being a fly on the wall we will never know but for speculations sake and depending on which way you look at it then it could be seen as a case of either :
a.) Whelan being “tight” and only offering a budget that Roberto feels is inadequate to put us in the strongest reasonable position to go straight back up.
b.) Roberto asking for investment outside of the clubs finances to cover the large amount of transfers needed to cope with the amount of games we have next season.
Personally I don’t think WHhelan takes a large amount from the club in terms of salary a for the job he does but then again I wouldn’t blame him if he did compensate himself in this manner for the work and investment he has obviously done for the club over the years and continues to do.
So again reading between the lines I think Roberto has possibly thought if I am going to stay I want to compete in Europe, FA CUP, and the league while keeping up the standards of our football from last season (obviously a point of opinion if this would be good enough to win the championship) which when you think of the amount of players actually needed between now and the start of the season is it going to be a massive task without competitive budgets to those around us.[/quote]
That’s all you needed to say Salford. Up to that bit.
I do believe the rest of it…….Was indeed…………………………………………………….. A load of SHITE! and means nothing to any of us unless you are a chairman :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P
Does he mow the lawn with the helicopter?The obvious answer everyone is expecting is……
He turns the helicopter upside down and cuts it with the rotor blades……. Obviously…….. DOH! :P :P
Can see this happening.
Pellegrini needs someone who knows the league and speaks both Spanish and English. He is successful, In terms of winning a trophy and tries to play a way that Pellegrini likes to play.
I wouldn’t mind one bit if Martinez took this job because that IS a good career move. He has always insisted it isn’t about money. Stoke would have been a bad move and as daft as it sounds Everton would have been even worse. Everton because they are destined to drop down the league now. Moyes has gone, Fellani,Baines the presence that is Neville are probably going elsewhere, On top of that, The core of their squad is teetering around the 30 age barrier and don’t have much in the way of youth talent or money. Funny thing is the good youth players they get they then get rid of. :lol: :lol: Relegation scraps again in a few years for the Toffees.
Something must have happened with Martinez because before a few weeks of the season it was all commitment but then in Cup Final interviews leading up to it he started getting reluctant to commit. I would like to see him at City. I believe him when he says it isn’t about money because that would be a good career move for him.
The cynic in me says City approached Pellegrini illegally a few weeks before the end of the season and then Pellegrini got someone to approach Martinez.
How do they give a false impression? The only way Martinez got himself a transfer kitty was by first selling some of his squad.Yes, Bosselli was a mistake (as were Marlon King £4m, Jason Koumas £5.3m, Julius Aghahowa £2.5m, David Connolly £2m etc signed by previous managers)
I’m not disputing who signed who. I’m outlining the fact that Martinez had less budget than his predecessors.
The quote the article the figures are taken from:
‘To quickly summarize the activity of the three, Paul Jewell entered the Premier League with a small squad on low wages. He was able to invest substantially in both transfer fees and wages. Steve Bruce, while given a larger net spend, had liberty to increase the wage bill. Roberto Martinez has presided over the lowest net spend as well as a shrinking wage budget while also expanding the squad.’
Judging on last years F.A Cup performances, This squad is easily good enough to walk The Championship. It’s time we looked forward. Balls to Judas.
Absolutely gutted to be left out of the in-crowd yet again. Story of my life. I’ll have to clock off now and go cry in my beer. Sniff.

That could be construed as grooming.[/quote]
It would be if that’s what he calls his penis :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:
I’m extremely disappointed and chuffed here Griff.
Chuffed for mentioning me in a select group(even though ” I’m not worth bothering with”. :lol:
Dissapointed because you have not included Fred Elliot, Faceacher, Pulp, Orrell Blonde, Arky and from way back, Bill Wymans Armpit, in your Sky Blues list. There is also another current character who dererves a mention here, or maybe he already has. ;)
Maybe some of these characters were before your time eh lad.You know, when CL was fun and we were all mates.
You were Orrell blonde? I’m gutted. I thought it were a real lass.[/quote]
haha beat me too it Standish. I didn’t know that was one of his. :lol:
There were a lot of multi’s on rivals though.
Much appreciated. I don’t know what to do with it or where to put it now.
I will think of something :cheer: :cheer: :P
Still very much in the Rene Meulensteen camp. When Fergie retired it wouldn’t have been beyond the realms of possibility that he could have even taken over at Old Trafford. If this comes off we could end up with a mini Man Utd at the DW. No more Barrow or Lawrence but the best possible. Even the prospect of some loan signings next season is mouth watering with his experience and success with the youth teams over the past few years.
I think we should all jump on this and make sure Dave Whelan knows that Rene Meulensteen could be the right man. And he has a license to manage clubs in European competitions.
Been saying Gary Neville for a while but he isn’t even in the betting.
Failing that I would seriously take anyone of the Man Utd coaches or ex players, Rene, Phelan, Neville (G or P), Scholes, Beckham (the brand)
If we could get this Rene Muss……elbrough (will take me a while to get his name) You can pretty much guarantee that the staff Moyes get’s rid of will be coming here. I think this move could be very, very, very shrewd.
Pull this one out Dave. Please no Owen Coyle or Phil Brown type appointment.
]Nice one John and jay, I love the background picture.
I actually saw it about 1 o’clock. I logged in and got through to the site. :P Before you turned it off again.
I was in the Dominican Republic in my hotel room watching us beat Arsenal 3-2, I was there with my girlfriend the sun was blazing, fantastic all inclusive hotel, white beaches everything you could want from a foreign holiday and all I wanted was to be back in Wigan.I know what you mean. I am missing Warrington v Wigan this year.
Proper gutted.
