You know what I find depressing about our curent predicament? Watching Match Of The Day and seeing the likes of Victor Moses, Antonio Valencia. Lee Cattermole, Leighton Baines, Jordi Gomez, Figoera , Diame, McArthy and McArthur every week. I don’t begrudge the players wanting to play at the highest level; I just can’t help wondering what happened to the £100million-plus received in transfer money for them. That’s on top of eight years’ worth of Sky TV money. The board has gone from spending £10million in the summer to preparing for League 1, paying League 1 transfer fees and League 1 wages. It’s almost like Whelan has seen that Ray Winstone ad on the telly and decided that at half-time in the season, it was time to cash out. He can take plenty of credit for our rise but now must accept responsibility for our fall. Not only has he made a string of bad appointments, he’s presided over the squandering of hundreds of millions in cash that could have kept the club sustainable for years to come.

ever done anything significant to back or support the Latics ? I think the majority of Latics fans would welcome Malky; so she should keep her nose out and stick to sorting out the pot holes and social benefits system out !!!!!!!!!!
