Why is the BBC reporting he’s gone on a Free Transfer when he was bought in January on an 18 month contract?
Doesn’t Sharpy realise we are not a fucking charity and need money coming in from player sales.
Wheres Grigg gonna go?? Nobody in champ gonna want him.Grigg is an excellent example of a player who is not able to bridge the gap between League 1 and the Champ. Brentford sent him on loan when they got promoted. MK Dons didn’t buy him when they got promoted, and Brentford didn’t fancy him on the back of a successful season with MK Dons, hence why he ended up at Wigan.
I think the best we can hope for is for Grigg to be back on fire this season, and some desperate Champ club pays top dollar for him in January, like Norwich did with Wildschutt.
Club will say no need to sell but also remember some players wont want to play division one footballMost of the squad either played it with Wigan or with another club. One season in the Championship as a member of a side that finished below everyone bar Rotherham doesn’t give them the right to play in that league for the rest of their careers.
Lets not get too hasty about his credentials. He’s got non-league sides into the football league and 4th tier sides into the 3rd tier. His new job is to get a championship side back into the championship and keep them there – a task that as yet he hasn’t attempted.
We only shifted 9,000 season tickets (including the free ones for kids) last year.
Sticking a minimum 40% hike on last years’ price after a season of failure is really not going to create a stampede to the DW Ticket office!
They’ll be lucky to shift 5,000 season tickets this time round.
The longer they leave it, the less chance they have of getting anyone bar the most uber of fans to buy a ST.
I’m beginning to think that despite failure last season there’s going to be a significant increase, and Sharp & Jacko are looking to bury the announcement underneath the fanfare of unveiling a new manager.
Maybe the new man is in place but still under contract until the summer?Seeing as the football league season is over for all bar 6 managers, then unless its one of those, why would we not have appointed them already. I cant see either Wagner or Stam moving to Wigan, so its 4 managers that are still at their desks – the rest have already finished for the summer.
If its to save a couple of weeks’ wages (at the expense of a decent pre-season), then we must be really fucking skint!
Sharpie’s probably trying to work out whether he can do a Bradford-style ST offer in the hope of maintaining the support.
Any price rise will result in about 20% not renewing.
I hope its not Stubbs. The guy was deemed not good enough by the only club who finished below us this season.
The premier league is getting almost as boring as the Scottish Premier League now in terms of who can do well. I know Leicester won it last season, but the new TV deal means the big clubs will make sure that will never happen again.
Supporting a football club shouldn’t be about hoping for 4th bottom and feeling good about winning 25% of your games.
Stoke are one of those dozen clubs who make up the numbers in the Premier League. Nobody but their 20,000 supporters really cares if they are there or not.
There was an incident in the tunnel at half time in the barnsley game, I believe Morsy had a bit of a scrap and Barrow had to get involved. He’s not played him since then.He’d be one of first on my team sheet and captain if Warnock didn’t play. A midfielder who has a dig when he gets chance. Keep him and he will be epic next season.
Perhaps he’s a disruptive influence – a poor man’s Joey Barton. It may explain why GC shipped him off on loan.
I think he’ll be peddled this summer – perhaps something was written into his contract that he signed in January to the effect that he could leave for X amount if we were relegated.
They took over the mantle from us in 2013 when we finally succumbed to the big R after several seasons of last-gasp survivals. I cant see them following our downward spiral through another division though.
Meaning if we had a well organised coaching and playing squad there shouldn’t be any reason we can’t bounce back up again even without the parachute payments.There’ll be 23 other sides all with the same mentality come August. The last time we were in this position, we had a £9 million advantage over those 23 sides – this time we wont.
