Day 2 and hurricane Bobbyswigan still blowing :lol: :lol: :lol:
Day 2 and pussycat thirtyoneminuteswafc suddenly feels better. :oops:
Here we go again nothing, like it or not you have to accept where we stand in the big picture. We have to find a balance. We have spent since January not far off 20 million at a guess. Yes we have made more than that from player sales but we also have a debt of 60 million to service.
We have the lowest gates in the league, the cheapest prices yet people want us to lash millions on players all the time?
Maybe we could do what Portsmouth have done? Newcastle? Or even worse Leeds?
Moan and groan all you want but try and be realistic about it.
Well said that man. All this two veg about ‘the future of the club in jeapordy’ is pure hogwash. If we were breaking the bank to stay up, then I’d be worried about the club.
All you who are castigating Whelan for not spending £10M+ on a striker should weigh up the cost of him *giving* us the stadium he paid for**. That’s far better for the security of the club long term than buying a lad who could break his leg walking the dog…
**Before anyone starts, I didn’t say he solely paid for the stadium, but his contribution wasn’t in monopoly money.[/quote]
Nobody wants him to buy anybody, just stop selling our assets. Stop telling lies. Cattermoles not for sale at any price, lets fans go and have his name printed on their shirts, then sells him. When we first came up, the new kit will not change for three years, what did we do? Publicly telling every person and club in the land, ”were a selling club, so if you want anyone this is where to come” Even touting Martinez saying he will one day be at a big club before he started his Wigan job.
Yes he gave us the stadium, but decided it should be called DW, gave a 50 year lease to rugby and named one of our stands after a rugby mon. Its as much our stadium as a new Ferrari is mine.Been watching the team since 1974 and hold a season ticket. Doesn’t meen I have to agree with everything though. You talk about buying someone for 100m, it’s more keeping hold of what we have. I don’t remember being lyed to as much in my time watching Latics, do you?
You can’t expect Whelan to invest, not like the Fulham chairman. You can’t expect us to keep a team together, not like Bolton. You can’t expect us to say a players not for sale and actually mean it. You can’t expect us to talk about the next level then sell everyone. You can’t expect our attendances to fall when at the end of every season we start from scratch. You can’t expect to sell 60m worth of players and invest less than half on lower league trash. Expectation is way too high on here. :roll:
How many Premiership clubs sell their team every year.
If you’re happy with the way the clubs being run, good on you.You think our gates aren’t related. When DW appointed Lindsay, a lot of fans took exception. Then every year when it looks like were coming good, bang. £60m in debt, you think Whelan operates at a loss, he dumped JJB when he wasn’t making enough. He wanted the rubgy, you reckon he was making money when he sold them. Some of you are twisted round his little finger.
Our support is stih because the likes of you show no emotion. We could lose 10-0 to Chorley and some of you lot would find plus points. Yawwwnnn!
There we go again, because were Wigan we should accept it. If you happy and contented ok. I post to vent frustration, like at football when I sing and support the team, I want my voice to be heard. Just sitting there smile on face, persuading yourself everything is fine isn’t for me.
Bog difference, we wasn’t facing Everton, West Ham, Chelsea and Arsenal for the next 4 games. Also the players were not replacements
for the millions of pounds worth of talent we had just sold. Tell me, when will you become worried, or does the future of our club not concern you?Dont slate Martinez, our chairman new the score, thats why he spoke of relegation when he signed him. This season, from Martinez going missing at the unveiling, to trying to sign a bloke with a dodgey ticker, to letting Cattermole go after promising we wouldnt has been a huge mess. Time for Whelan to make way, rather go down with dignity than with that greedy lying bloke in charge.
