You can read what you want into Cooks interview after the win at Fleetwood but it certainly sent out the wrong vibe to me. It sounded more like a man who’d had a bad experience with previous new owners and is on his toes now were certainly going to be taken over now were in the Championship next season.
He’s old school and some of these large companies take over not fully understand the management, staff, fans as a whole. You only have to look at director of marketing and communications, Richard Kenyon at Everton. Clueless or been told to whichever, it still shows certain owners treat it more like Asda than a football club, all about margins and what do the customers think of A/B/C.
I think Cook knows more about what’s in the pipe line next season and to me it sounded a little like he wasn’t that overwhelmed after what happened with the Pompey takeover. There’s at least 6 players not good enough for the Championship, I just hope there’s a 1/2 decent kitty on the table from the new owners to stabilize the club rather than end up a yo-yo club.
I give him 9.5/10 I would have give him 10/10 if we’d of beat a pish poor Southampton , , not a lot to ask was it Cooky !! :)
well done I hope there’s a good few years left for him at Wigan and the new owners back him to the hilt. If they do ? looking at the likes of Cardiff, Derby and Millwall all knocking on the door there’s hope for us allWe should all pay a visit to the local bookmakers to collect a few slips to use as confetti and give Barton who will no doubt be there the same warm welcome Keith Gillespie got when warming up at he DW
COYL ?, thank f#ck you left the E off the end.
Robinson came with a tactic don’t concede with no intentions of trying to win the game. If I were an Oxford fan travelling all that way id be disgusted at the way he set his team out. I mean, their keeper was wasting time from the 35th minute, what a joke.”Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that”
The events involving his own club on 15/4/1989 proved how wrong he was.
I’d never fight with opposition fans over football. Why? Because we support different teams? And? I’m beyond all that crap.
Only fans I’ve ever had disagreements with or been pissed off with at a game, are Latics fans.[/quote]
A fan who only argues with his own is probably worse, take Millwall and West Ham. Thank fcuk you don’t sit near meEgg stressed for 1/2 an hour this morning trying email and phone saying non available then bang no problem I should of just waited for the game on Saturday.
Small queue at ticket office.
Got them no problem.[/quote]
And if your working ?, not everyone’s off or on the doleYou would have had to be very lucky online. I a PC on bband not a phone and 150mb line and was faced with timeout while the tickets were in the basket. I eventually got in only to be faced with timed out while assigning the tickets.
I never got to the pay here page, it just timed out again then said *SOLD OUT*It’s the usual Latics senario,
Queue up or fook off !
And there usual response “It weren’t us it was a ticketmaster error” and as for telephone ? , errr no thanks not after the Utd fiasco and £20 landline bill
Only had 3 penalties this season with 5 against. Staggeringly low given to us for such a dominant side. Suppose the against column is about right. Shrewsbury and Blackburn have been given more than double us btw. Nothing sinister I’m sureThey need em more than us
Logged in online tickets after 9 Fleetwood not been sold then when they appear at 9:20 website error can’t complete sale
9:37 *SOLD OUT ONLINE*
I wonder if the ticket office do what they did with the Utd game, wait till your uno NO1 in the queue on the phone then cut you off. They claim it was a technical error, I reet
Looking at Shrewsbury’s performance in the EFL trophy final I think it’s them that should be worried. With an in form Charlton and Peterborough to play at home I think they will have their work cut out. Plus an away fixture on this Thursday, 12th April at Bradford who will be stinging from a heavy loss at Blackpool.
Beat Rochdale we go 5 clear of them which means Shrewsbury have to win all their remaining 6 games and we lose a minimum of 2 games plus weigh in our far superior goal difference. If they so much as draw that makes their task even harder never mind if they lose.
For me, Tuesday will be the turning point for our season. If we lose it will send the incentive over to Shrewsbury. The Tic’s players will know this, for me I think if, we win Tuesday then barring a sudden collapse of any form were up. The only way we won’t is if Shrewsbury suddenly going on a six game unbeaten run against tough opposition and suspensions and we fall to bits with the winning post in sight.
Oh and by the way, when do Fleetwood tickets go on sale and how many will we be given ?
Hopefully we’ll finish top two but if it’s the play offs that’s the cards we’ve been dealt and I don’t fear anyone in the play offs from teams we’ve played.Can you imagine it?, the play-offs ? we could be 25pts clear of the 6th place team winning 8-10 games more and still miss out on going up.
I have a feeling the delay in any take over is based on us playing in the Championship next season. We simply cannot afford any more slip ups 8 Cup finals it’s as simple as that but Cook needs to take chances if we end up in the same boat as Monday’s game
When Vaughan was on we left him up front on his jacks deciding to play the ball through the middle to him and starving him.
So at 2-0 down and under 30minutes to go wouldn’t 2up front bin the best option ?, no Cook decides to remain with one up front by bringing Grigg on and ? Start knocking it long. Now if Vaughan had of been on upsides Grigg im sure we’d have grabbed a point.Powell was still bringing the ball from the half way line till Cook decides to bring Roberts 15mins after Grigg had come on then Roberts ends up crossing the ball for Griggs goal.
My point been, were 2-0 down so for me 2up front was the way to go with 25 to go, either Grigg/Vaughan or Grigg/Roberts or Roberts/Vaughan
Massey ? What’s his role ??, im lost
Elder ?, liability,
But if theres one humongous problem we have
No pace or width what so ever, weres the scotch lad we bought ?, seems another waste along with Cole.
MacDonald ?
James ?
Fulton ?
Cole ?
Our bench bar Grigg was ultra light to say the leastHow can the bench be light with 3 subs of Grigg who scored. Roberts who crossed and Coco who everyone seems to think should have started and the Scots lad you referred to (Walker)was on the bench too?[/quote]
No variation thats the bench problem and I seem to remember Walker was never used so I could sit there if needed be. In times gone by I always seem to remember we would have a game turner sat on the bench whether it be Moses, Vilchut someone who could come on with 1-15 to go and inject some pace into the game, light the touch paper.
Granted as I point out, Roberts set Grigg’s goal up but had he come on 15 minutes earlier would the outcome been any different ?, I would like to think it would due to his impact on the game.
At 1-0 down fair play, Grigg on nick a goal, grab a point I can see the point to that but we were 2-0 down ! Vaughan should have never left the field. For me Cook has to shoulder a fair chunk of the blame purely on the basis of his team selection (Massey been one Jacobs not far behind) and the timing the subs. He needs to risk take at the right times and get someone with some fookin pace for Christ sake !!When Vaughan was on we left him up front on his jacks deciding to play the ball through the middle to him and starving him.

Our bench bar Grigg was ultra light to say the leastIt’s all down to us tonight to take the reigns and push on. Walsall are shipping goals at the moment so with the FA Cup out the way and Blackburn no game this Saturday it’s our chance to start clawing in the game in hand points. If we don’t win tonight then we’ll only have ourselves to blame come 5th of May 19:30
