Christ – DW let PJ and RM lose 9 on the trot and stuck with em, and even let Hutchings go for 6 or 7 losses from top spot before pulling the plug.
Like it or not, unless we’re bottom 3, out of Europe AND have just lost our opening FA Cup game to a lower league team…FKW is here to stay.
PJ and RM were given leeway because they had earned it. Coyle has not.
Loosing games in the Premier League, whilst frustrating, was not a surprise. Loosing 3 homes games now is…and we’ve scored ONE away goal in how many away games? I’ve lost count.
PJ & RM also had the support of the fans, Coyle does not. That is the difference.
PJ & RM would not mouth obscenities at our fans. DW does not tolerate bad manners ;)
I suspect DW had already had “a word” with Coyle before he made the comments.
Something along the lines of “my office, tomorrow for a chat”.
Please Mr Whelan do the decent thing and send Coyle on his way for his own sake. Don’t let this become Steve Kean mark 2. He has lost the confidence of the fans and the players. Did you see Coyle ranting at McClean and he just ignored him?
This is what Coyle said about us….(taken from the BBC website)
“The expectation can only come from being in the Premier League because it’s not as if Wigan Athletic have been winning games every week for four or five years, far from it.
“If people want to be ultra critical that’s the nature of football these days. I’m old enough to deal with that. If they think there’s something better that’s all well and good.”
Well DW was here today he was on the pitch before KO so he didn’t miss the debacle that Coyle has become.
He will also have heard the Derby fans chanting “You’re getting sacked in the morning”. A few around me started quietly clapping. Not sure if they were applauding the Derby fans or Coyle, no one said much
Think we’ll see the mistake of appointing Coyle over McLaren tomorrow.
Hope I’m wrong but the omen is there and Derby should be good value at 11/5
Rain isn’t forecast so McLaren wont be needing his umbrella :lol:
Coyle might well be getting his Croat if we loose :blink:
If McLaren had been lined up to go to a Prem club then fair enough, but he ended up at Derby, not the FA Cup winners/Europa Lge club. He would have surely chosen us ahead of Derby had he been offered the job
Well for those interested in the attendance it was 74468. The highest ever for a rugby league international apparently…(is that good or bad? )
Permutation of 3 from 2, became 2 from 2, but in reality there was only ever going to be 1 winner.
Most of us supporting NZ, but they never got going.
First time I’ve been inside OT (footy version) Seats much smaller and closer together than Wembley. Wembley would be 100,000 at least with the same seat size/distances.
Had England qualified, yep we would have lost, but the atmosphere would have made the hairs stand up…ManUre fans aren’t that noisy but that place could be awesome.
£25 to sit right behind the sticks upper tier…cant knock the prices…

It’s a Spanish trait to look a bit disinterested but then spring to life. Look at Brazil next year (construction depending ;) ) they wont be going hell for leather all the time.
Jordi has scored some great goals…he is 1 of our 3 Premier League Hat trickers….
Strangely enough the other 2 got stick as well…

It’s comments such as those from readers on there though that make me want RM to do well at Everton.
He is constantly berated for us struggling and going down without anyone taking into account our budget, the fact he was told to trim the wage bill, our standing alongside those we finished above time and again. I doubt we’d have been waltzing into Europe with someone else at the helm. We’d have faced the exact same struggles.
To be fair the comments were aimed more at the fact that Utd would never employ a manager who had just taken a team down ! DW’s comments on the other hand are quite simply laughable ! :)[/quote]
What’s the betting DW will announce shortly we have the best manager in the division.
To which we reply…Yes…if you mean the Conference :ohmy:

Qualification was there for the taking tonight with us already knowing Maribor hadn’t won in Kazan.
We just weren’t up for it tonight; I fear we have thrown away our chances in this group; we have gone from a position of strength to one of weakness in 1 game.
How many corners did we have? Lots..and how many chances from those corners….
Coming away from the ground tonight I heard serious discontent about the manager for the first time. A few moans and groans previously, but tonight discontent at his tactics (no recognised striker from the start, even Holt…) We need to bounce back strongly on Sunday.
It’s not that many years ago Big Dave was on about Paul Jewell being the best manager he had ever worked with….after he resigned, he replaced him with Chris Hutchings :woohoo:
When he owned a certain Rugby club, he said Ian Millward was the best coach in the world…but soon sent him packing :lol:
That said, we all remember the “10 years to Premier League” comments and how that was laughed at.
If DW had announced this time last year we would win the Cup next May, most of us on here would have said he had gone senile, let along what our critics would have said :P
