Set your sights higher my friends. Its on par with you already drive round in top of the range merc and suddenly decide to park it up in your garage and bring your rusty old Hillman Imp out, cos it brings back good memories.

Whenever I watch an English first or second division match on telly I give up after 20 mins as it looks like the players are playing in flip flops and kicking a beach ball about. Woeful football just woeful. :woohoo:

The price tags were no great shakes but the 70K per week wages reported to be paid to the likes of Park with no relegation wage drop clause can only be considered insane at best.[/quote]

Know what you mean, but I bet he’s not on that much money.

And lets be honest, if we had signed Park, most of us would’ve been very pleased and seen it as something of a ‘coup’.

Personally, I think he signed a decent bunch of players for that 25 million. Some proven players as well, who’ve played in the Premiership. Where as, we always take a chance on if a lad will be good enough at this level.

I think we’re too small minded as a club. Have done for a while.[/quote]

You have just proved what myself and a few others think, Mark Hughes wouldn’t hold a candle to our bobby. If you think those “decent bunch of players” at QPR are on anything less than £50K per week then you must be deluded.
SWP and Cisse probably more nearer the £60-70k per week mark.

I honestly think that our wheeling and dealing policy is both astute and realistic. OK some players have not made the grade and have consequently been shipped out. There are one or two players amongst our ranks now that may get shipped out in the next window, but the better players will make this club a bit more money and better placed to stay in this division. Look at the likes of WBA, who a lot of posters on here have said are a far bigger club than ours and yet they do just what they are famous for boing, boing to the championship and back every other year.

The very reason why we are posting on here and Whelan is supping sangria in his Barbados holiday home, is that he knows how to run a business which if you like it or not, is exactly what Wigan Athletic is.

Mr Fernandes must have been very impressed with the “decent bunch of players” yoozie had put together, so much so he has kicked him back to whence he came.

I to get frustrated when we seem to be getting a decent team together then wooooosh the carpets pulled from under us, but this is what Wigan Athletic is at the moment. Who knows were we will be in years to come, but whatever league we are in, I can’t see us in a position where we are dusting off the collection buckets and asking for fans loose change to pay the players.

In ‘Smyths’, buying presents for the kids, and looking at the shelves where there were Army Tanks and next to them there were ‘Star Wars’ mini planets, I said to the dragon, “Should we go for the special Egyptian offer then?”

“The special Egyptian offer?” She said, puzzled.

Me: ” Yeah, Two-Tank and a moon”. **

Classic. :P

The worst jokes are those that you have to explain. A bit like a pish poor impersonator who tells you who the person is that they are going to impersonate……..”and lets see what Harold Wilson thinks about this” type of comment. :dry:

Another premier league team who deserve to be there because they are a decent team. B)

It’ll not bi long before they have a world cup stadium. :ohmy:

If he does get sent down, wouldn’t mind having his sheepskin jacket. :cheer:

It con get bloody cowd on that DW.

I think he’s been nobbled for rape rather than peedo stuff. :ohmy:
