Don’t forget also, we probably haven’t paid the full £2M to Everton yet, that may also have had clauses built in.
Then how much to pay Cook off?
Just one change for the Leeds game, Williams for Dowell.
Don’t think we need many changes.MOORE
PILKINGTON JOFFY WINDASS
MORSY WILLIAMSWindass has vanished again anyway with Pilkington. Dowell is injured so thats one less to be played out of position.
Attacking mid could well see Jacobs and or Massey return. Nil nil.Just decided not to go tonight !Somehow, I just can’t summon up the enthusiasm !
Why is that.I wonder ?
It’s never happened before, in the last 50 years of following the Latics !Never mind, the club can still count my season ticket and pretend that all is well.
At least in the dark days of the past, the owners never hid.
Now we don’t appear to have a long term strategy at the club; well, not one that they are prepared to tell us about.
We now appear to be prepared to sell our better players, with no sign of replacements.
Don’t even mention: one up front / not playing to maximise players individual strengths / negative & protectionist approach to the game / never giving our young guns a chance / persisting with below par performers / poor choice and timing of substitutions / etc.All in all a depressing picture that feels like we are already resigned to sinking into league one without a whimper.
Before any smart arse says “get behind your club”; just remember that I have spent enough to buy a classic Jensen Interceptor Mk2, following the Latics over my lifetime. I am one of the most positive people that I know; so it must be bad, to deflate my enthusiasm,
That said; I’ll be back for the old enemy = Knob End !
Cook and his shite football will be gone someday Al. Even if we have to wait for the greedy get to run his contract down.
Seem to remember some big advertising board getting ripped down or falling down. Packed in like sardines. Certainly made a mockery of the safety restrictions put on Latics at Springfield Park not long after by the Rugby loving council down at Wigan Kremlin. (Bastards swanning about in years to come at our Cup winning parade)
Whenever anyone mentions the playing of weakened sides I always think of Ian Holloway’s Blackpool getting a hefty fine for making a few changes against Villa. They only lost the game by the odd goal and the likes of united were fielding weakened teams against the teams at the bottom of the league on a regular basis.
I know that was a league game but rules for one and rules for others at its best.Looking at the liverpool team on show at the moment vs Shrewsbury – they’re all kids.[/quote]
Our under 23’s beat a liverpool under 23’s recently. Shrewesbury could only hold them to a draw. We should do ok with our youngstefs in league one next season.If he was fully fit he’d be at a club bigger than ours.
He’s probably here because no other club use medical staff that use white sticks and labradors[/quote]
He certainly has been a total waste of money yet again by Cook. My God he’s squandered some money our Cooky!!Now our hapless manager will surely be fighting tooth and nail to keep his preferred leader of the attack from the last two months. Or won’t he? He may just be thinking that’s another half million the club have to pay him off.
Think if he played 20 games, scored 4 goals and we sold him for 30 million which we could spend on strengthening the squad most of us would be pretty happy.
Exactly the point Roy, Joffy could easily be as good if not better than Bellingham but Brum got him in and playing. Utd would never offer that for an academy player and that’s what Joffy will be as long as Cooko the clown is manager. Nobody wants the lad to leave but if his chances are limited sooner or later he will want to move on to continue his development.[/quote]
We have a production line of great young talent coming through and most of them will have a bearing on the financial stability of the club. Whilst our public prefer watching the Greed League on Sky rather than supporting the Latics it will always be so. Like any product though they will need to be seen in the right place at the right time and that will mean having to play some first team football sooner rather than later.
