The transfer window starts in earnest Monday so can only hope we get a couple of nice surprises. Fletcher signs for Huddersfield so Taylors exit looking nailed on. Surely investing the potential Tickle funds in him could reap big dividends…..that’s if he fancies coming back….Like everyone else I cant see it but a couple of quality acquisitions are a must if the owners really do have ambition and faith in Caldwell. The Power and Bennett signings look shrewd but need a lot more through the door in double quick time. If the Chelsea rumours about Bettoni are true then that’s a big one allowed to slip through the net. Personally I think it’s a silly career move…..u21 academy football for the foreseeable future wont aid his development……can only hope we get him back via a loan. No news on Matt Smith so again fingers crossed otherwise a ball player in the middle will be a difficult one to replace on our budget. Not heard any noises about potential new investors or owners but then again these people don’t do their business in public so we’d be last to know but looking like deep pockets is here for the foreseeable future.
Could be 1st of many. None of us know whether we are going to have investment or new ownership before the season starts so can only base our assumptions on what we know…….which means under the present owners we are likely to be f###### as far as any ambition. Listened to progress with unity podcast last night and they went through our contracted playing staff……a shit show is putting it politely. Charlie summed it up as dreadful. How many of our out of contract players have already negotiated deals elsewhere as we apparently have refused to discuss any renewals until the seasons finished……unf####### believable if that’s the case. If we cannot persuade a young academy player like Bettoni to stick around then we really are in trouble. Look at Adam Moseley….wasn’t he signed in January??.. from Runcorn linnets …..given a contract for 6 months???WTF…..if he shows a modicum of ability then we’ve shop windowed him. I’d like to believe our owners gave Caldwell recruitment assurances…no doubt he has sourced a couple from Exeter and heard after striker Nombe from Rotherham but with the contract/wages we’ll be offering then they’ll certainly have more attractive offers. Will be a very interesting summer…..I just pray we get a new more ambitious ownership group to purchase or invest Tom Morris would be a good fit otherwise I think for all Caldwells valiant efforts mid to lower table is nailed on. Haven’t renewed yet…..no doubt I will but would be persuasive to see what the owners plans are before I do. Wishful thinking!!!
- Keep your posts to a minimum…….flower………..back in your hole till I rattle your food bowl again……cock!
Agree……both clubs sadly down the back of sofa coppering up with an owner worth in excess 2 Billion……meanwhile Chelsea like City will eventually get away with downright cheating…..their’s over 7 years..knew exactly what they were doing…..getting caught was their real cock up…get a fine which is a cop out and a 1 window transfer ban…F###### suspended. Look what we got !!!…..Boy it will be interesting to see if the Premier leagues biggest frauds get the whacking they deserve if found guilty……how’s about relegation to league 2 like Rangers got……..mmmm…..dreaming again.
After yesterday’s belated statement then no ambition takes it to a new level. The Dansons now going to invest zilch……not only on the pitch but the whole nine yards. So many players out of contract and loans expired means they have been disincentivsed to stay . Thought 3 years ago we had got the golden ticket but now looks like purchasing the ground and out of duty were the real reasons they purchased the club.Of course we thank them for rescuing us but really believed they had a modicum of ambition. Keeping the senior Wigan staff in the dark is wicked……they’ve been bombarded by the press and supporters and no wiser than us. Leaves a bad taste with a lot of us…..zero transparency and now questioning their honesty. Lucy’s having to come yesterday to address the staff who have had enough financial insecurity to last a lifetime only came about because of the leak……..wouldn’t have happened otherwise. Shows they really have no idea how to run a community football club ,this certainly puts their integrity in question. Im disgusted and shocked at the way they’ve gone about this. How the F### do they think season tickets will shift with this uncertainty???…They can shove their early bird sales…..
I get the impression from Kendricks BBC interview that the on the tools hierarchy at the club are as in the dark as us……only one man can give us clarity and in 3 years he’s stayed silent so don’t expect a change now. Maybe he will calm the speculation but until he addresses us then toxic social medias cogs will start turning.
