You need to address your anger issues.Deep breaths and take time to think before you type .There you are ,that’s better .He’s the golden one whose role it is to solve team issues and he hasn’t even scratched the surface in 3 seasons .Kevin phillips short term fix would have sufficed,but doesn’t pass the ball aimlessly enough to fit in.
Robbie is a full time manager paid large sums to spot,attract whatever football talent is out there.We are supporters who in a lot of cases work long hours so unfortunately not able to get to 5 matches a week to scout .What a stupid question Standish asks .HE is the manager not you ,me or doughnut so therefore HE has fallen short in building a team that has been competetive for 3 seasons.Christ ,have you missed all our debacles ? or is it selective memory ?Robbie must be built like an octopus to give you all so many reach arounds together .
John Doughnut ,another one who clings on to Robbies shirt tails .Admiration can be blinding you know .I’ve no problem with the lemming like hypnotic trance your in but don’t try to convince anyone that Robbie the winless has been anything other than a balls up.And you wiil never be in a position to yank my strides down as I have an industrial strength Simon Cowell belt holding them up .
Someone on here once said “would you have signed Yakubu with his lack of form and looking overweight “? Without a doubt ,he scores goals ,remember them ?Always has done ,always will.How many Prem goals had Di Santo scored before we wasted 2.5 mill on him ?Our manager wouldn’t know one. If Van Basten came back in a time tunnel and pleaded for a game he’d say thanks but no thanks .
Come on then make a defence case for the football horror show that has been Robbies tenure apart from the usual we are little poor Wigan .
No I’m sorry,on a financial basis non of us know the exact facts but on the surface we seem to have a steady ship.On a purely footballing basis he has been a train wreck .We have been butchered on too many occasions whilst maintaining this keep ball 1 up strategy.Our build up play has been pedestrian and when we have eventually got the ball in the box no one on the end of it.Remember these are his players his methods so he is responsible.A purely hypothetical question for you .Exactly 12 months from now say we are sitting 3 from the bottom of the championship and his football ideology remains the same ,would you want him out or would you still be happy with him ?
Halford’s really is a cloth headed numb nuts.It’s not good business practice in the January window and facing relegation to be alienating potential signings with financial penalties brought on by the playing staff and management prior to his arrival.And for your information he was willing to sign for less pay than W Ham offered.You just cling on to Robbies apron strings while he leads you smiling and dancing to div 1.
I think this was a major case of false economy.He could have nicked a goal or two to keep the Prem money rolling in or worse case the goals that have us challenging for promotion next season.Either way you can see now why I am so annoyed that with all the goal-scoring issues we’ve had for the last 3 seasons when we do find someone willing to join the cause we let a brainless issue over pay cut sever the deal.I don’t think any player would have accepted that kind of request in the January window when we were in bottom 3.That’s why only monkey’s will feed on our peanuts .
I know the reason was because he wanted assurances that if Wigan were relegated his pay would remain the same.At the 11th hour he was informed that the club insisted on a 25% pay cut if this should happen.Why should he sign for a team that through no fault of his were looking likely to drop and be expected to be penalized financially .If the club wanted him a reasonable request like that should have been readily accepted.He would have been an excellent acquisition for our championship charge should we have gone down.I can assure you that thes eare the facts but I am not at liberty to reveal how I know this.
Back to back wins once in 105 games statistically unquestionable………I’m still waiting for a response as Robbie the winless states “that shows great maturity “.Not some pre-pubescent ramblings of a fingers in the ears and it’ll all be ok Robbie-ite.
