I’m not sure how long his contract has left to run, but even at his age and with his injury, he should bang in a few goals once fit. He’ll see it as putting himself in the shop window for January, and it should be a win-win situation for both parties if he performs.
How many fans will make the journey ?Over 2000 tickets claimed by ST holders in the first week they were available.

Cheltenham have signed Josh Cooke on loan from Swindon – their 16th arrival since the end of last season!Okay I’ll bite again in yosser world the club should of kept old of the players that let us down last season on championship wages in league 1Is this true? I did hear a rumour that no relegation clause had been written into any contract over the past two years. If true (and lets face it, selling an entire 1st team squad for buttons suggests it is) that smacks of arrogance and gross mismanagement by your management, Chief Exec and the board of directors. Wolves suffered a double dip, Pompey did, Leeds, Forest, Bradford all did. What did they imagine gave Wigan a God-given right not to be relegated twice in two years?
However, Turkeys dont vote for Christmas and it probably explains why only Alex Cribley on the management front lost his job.
Our squad has been put together and down graded for one reason alone and that is cost. Players wages and nothing else. Like that or loathe it, that is the main and underlying reason.I’ve read somewhere that there were no relegation clauses written into any players contracts issued after June 2013, as the club couldn’t envisage going down again, which may explain why just about every player from the last two seasons has been offloaded.
Yes.
In 2002/3, they made a loss of £5,803,351 that Mr Whelan covered, on top of the £16,678,917 that was already being covered. That season, they paid £1.2 million for Nathan Ellington. Wages cost £4,949,582. Income was £2,874,626.
In 2003/4, in the 2nd division, on income of £3,610,035, they posted a loss of £4,845,675. Wages accounted for £6,165,699
Compare 2003/4 with 2013/14 (which was a successful season in the 2nd tier), where the income was £37m and salaries were £30m. That’s a tenfold increase on income and a fivefold increase on wages.
Now do you get it?
I don’t know why I bother, but let me try and explain the finances again.Imagine you’ve had a job that pays £40,000 pa. You’ve got yourself a nice house and bought a BMW.
However you lose that job. You’ve got some redundancy money coming your way, that will last a you a couple of years maybe, but after that you will have to claim benefits if you don’t find a job. You almost had one, but it fell through. Your income has hugely dropped.
Now – do you hold onto your BMW in the belief that it will get you to job interviews better (although it isn’t as reliable as it used to be and costs a fortune in petrol), or do you sell it, get yourself a smaller more economical job that could still get you to job interviews?
Are you able to now use the money you now have to continue to pay the gas, electric, council tax etc that still have to paid, while still being able to feed yourself and the family? Or do you hold onto the BMW, see your redundancy money disappear, and find you can’t pay the bills and become bankrupt?
Which is it to be?
I think its a very good analogy.
In 2003, DW contributed a (then) significant sum of money on quality players in an attempt to get Wigan from 3rd division to Premier league as quickly as possible. In 2015, the amount that would be needed to repeat the feat would be around 10 times the amount spent on the likes of Roberts, Ellington etc.
Wigan circa 2015 is about developing young local players, not buying imported merceneries.
What will your epitaph say mutty, “Proud to have been a mercenary for the elite”?
“He played a small part to help preserve freedom of speech”
Sadly, freedom of speech includes the likes of you, Otter, and others who make snide remarks and personal insults from the safety of their keyboards.[/quote]
Ein bisschen reich kommt von jemandem, der abgeneigt machen abfällige oder abfällige Bemerkungen selbst und dann hoffen, dass sie durch die Erwähnung im Militär gedient haben, ist nicht irgendwie macht sie von der Prüfung und Kontrolle befreit.
Ich habe auch nicht verstehen, warum jemand sich anschließen würde auf der Vorstellung, sie waren alles andere als den Schutz der Interessen der bereits reich und mächtig, der gleichen Reichen und Mächtigen, die dann schamlos missachten sie tun, wenn sie ihren Zweck und warum serviert Organisationen wie Help for Heroes existieren. Das Traurige daran ist, dass die Menschen tatsächlich in diese Scheiße zu kaufen und zu akzeptieren, dass das Senden junge Männer getötet und verstümmelt werden für keinen guten Grund irgendwie vertretbar.
Kein einziger Konflikt Sie gedient haben dazu beigetragen zu bewahren meine oder Ihre Redefreiheit. Die größte Bedrohung für meine Redefreiheit ist die amtierende Regierung, die bereits jetzt ist geplant, die Redefreiheit im Internet durch die Verkündigung einzudämmen, dass jeder, der eine Ansicht, die die allgemeine Konsens der Meinung widersetzt, wie sie von den Mainstream-Medien setzen hält sollte geprüft werden bei der als Terrorist.
Und glaube nicht, dass es nicht passieren wird. Die Mainstream-Medien ist ein leistungsfähiges Propagandamaschine und sie beabsichtigen, dass es so bleibt.Schließlich bitte nicht, mich mit diesem “versteckt sich hinter einer Tastatur” Unsinn kommen. Ich habe dich nicht bedroht, noch etwas gesagt würde ich nicht direkt sagen, um Ihr Gesicht.[/quote]
It could have been so different if our forefathers had felt like you do….
When you decide to play the military sympathy card(If you are implying I played the sympathy card then you are wrong JR.
I responded to a comment “washed out clerk”, which implied that what i’ve done for a living was worthless.
Like most patriots, I consider signing up for a job knowing that you MAY be killed defending the right of someone to call you “washed up” a job to be proud of.
Now, how about you all get back on topic and start laughing at Wigan’s decision to take a home fixture to London when the DW is available?

As opposed to a washed up clerk in blue eh?You forgot to mention the eight medals I earned in a distinguished career that took me to some of the most dangerous places on earth. I wonder what your epitaph will say.
Ditto.
I wasn’t aware of the T&C of ST purchases for this season. Perhaps Egg needs to go back to C&W and remind those who’ve boarded the outrage bus that their ST only covered 14 league games at the DW.
That said, its still a slap in the face for the 10,000+ fans that have attended the DW for each of the previous 11 home league games and I suspect ST sales will fall next season when people read the small print a bit closer.
the consensus was always that if we get 15 then the 15th would be played away from home.Consensus: An opinion or position reached by a group as a whole.
I didn’t realise all ST holders had purchased their ticket on the understanding that a 15th home game would be played in London.
