if whelan were to go this would plumit again and with the costs of wages commited to we would surely drop like a stone in the leagues and no doubt end up going under.
I’m not 100% sure, but I dont think Whelan is putting any of his own money into your club any more. The crowds will not generate a massive income (nor would they if you got 25K every week) – its the sponsorship, tv money and transfer profits that keep the club going. All Whelan does these days is make spending decisions which prevent him from bankrolling the club.
True about Norwich, Saints etc, but they all spent too much in a futile attempt to get back up – in Southampton’s case I think they also had that new ground to pay back loans on, something that Wigan doesnt have to worry about. Also its a long while since either club flogged a player for a large profit. Wigan seem to be able to do that at least twice a year.
When Whelan sells up, then whoever stumps up the cash will not want to end up like Southampton, and will initially invest whatever it takes to keep you where you are.
Y’all be fine.
And of course you guys would know all about hidings….
9-1, 5-0, 4-0 etc etc…. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Or getting just 15 or 19 points in an entire season?
Yeah, it was a real p1sser in 2002/03 when 754,267 (39698 per match) people watched us become the worst side in premiership history.
It was just as bad in 2005/06 when 644,180 (33904) watched us beat our own record.
Imagine how the 616,216 (32432) people who went to Pride Park felt in 2007/08 when their side took the mantle of whale club ever. Imagine how relieved the 823,540 (43344) people who attended the SOL that season felt that no longer would Sunderland be known as the whale club ever.
It would have to be a big place for all those fans to hide, dont you think?
All in all, thats over 2.8 million people who didnt go and hide when their club was doing whale and getting bad press.[/quote]
and your point is ?[/quote]
That why the feck should we go and hide after a 1-0 defeat away to a mid-lower half table side when we didnt go and hide after enduring 2 or the worst 3 seasons ever.
Comprendez?

Why hide? There’s no shame in a 1-0 defeat away from home.
Plenty of shame in a 9-1 defeat away from home, or a 5-0 defeat at home, or a 4-0 defeat away to the bottom side, or a 4-1 defeat to a lower league club…..
I think you are confused. Lindsay is on the Board of Directors of Wigan Athletic. He’s got Fu@k all to do with rugby.
(and you are so welcome to him). :lol:
Plus in my eyes there should be no Monday matches when theres a full weekend!Unfortunately the football clubs have taken the £££££ from Sky and ESPN, and will play when they tell them to play regardless of spectator wishes.
Think yourself lucky its a home game against a club 5 miles away. My lot were given 2 weeks’ notice last season that a Saturday game at Portsmouth was being switched to Monday night by Setanta.

Rule 20 means states that the minimum price for 3rd to 6th round adult tickets must be £15.
It is a massive own goal by the FA. The 3rd & 4th round are played the month after the most expensive time of year, particularly for those with kids, and yet they set in stone a minimum admission price which is the same as the quarter final!. Sunderland have drawn a non-league side at home and who in their right mind will want to shell out even £10 to watch our reserves go through the motions and get a scruffy 1-0 or 2-0 win? We will be looking at a crowd of about 25,000, which will include a sizeable away following.
Whilst the adult price will be at least £15, hopefully, both Wigan & Hull can agree to either not charge, or charge no more than £1 for OAPs & Kids so at least the day out for parents who bother remains reasonably cheap.
Think it may be a good match.think Tottenham are going to trounce somebody soon by 3/4/5 goals..
Hopefully it isn’t us tomorrow and im going out a whim by saying my gut feeling is 3-0 to the lads, with N’zogbia scoring 2.
I suppose a bit of this was right, but not the bit you wanted to be right!
But then again, neither did Mr Boyce get it “quite” right…
Thank you “The Egg”. Good to see that some of your lot arent total ignorant khunts.I didnt reply because this was a football post. If you feel the need to discuss Rugby League, Hockey, Gymnastics, Dwarf Tossing or even Extreme Ironing, then there is another sub-forum for it.
Not got a clue what he’s done with his hair, i’m not gay.
Just had it pointed out to me, however, that Wigan Warriors are going from 23rd April – 4th June without playing a home game, then there is an almost month long gap again in June/July. What gives Mutty me owd mucker ?
Grow up and quit the obsession. That goes for all of you BTW.
Even in the close season you are obsessed.[/quote]Answer the mons question chubster :DMy guess is that you will take more than the 134 you took to Spurs last season, but yet again will fail to fill your allocation, even when it is slashed.
312 is my guess. :lol:
