Well said Owd Git!! Some of the remarks on here beggars belief. :roll:
Time that those who don’t want to face the truth decided to go elsewhere. Whelan is running the club on a shoestring budget and look at the problems we’ve got, (sells Cattermole after saying he is going nowhere), and fans who wont wake up and recognise the danger signs. ..
………………… as Mark Twain said in 1897.I decided, on the demise of rivals, that I would not bother registering or posting on the new Cockney Latics message board. This was because I grew tired of the ” absolutely hilarious ” posts of the various multi-posters and because there wasn’t really much to say that hadn’t already been said.
I have been forced out of retirement by the absolutely pathetic posts of people who claim to have supported the latics since time immemorial (Springfield Blue et al ). If they consider that the loss to Wolves on tuesday was such a big deal then they are lying when they claim to be a supporters at all, let alone for fifty years. I won’t bother repeating the real disasters that have befallen us over the years, because they are well documented, but the loss of one match pales into insignificance in comparison.
Roberto Martinez is completely changing the playing style of the club. The result will be more pleasing on the eye but there are risks involved. The biggest risk is that the transformation may take too long and result in relegation. The transformation will take time because we need players who have the necessary technical ability to play the way that Roberto wants ( I don’t think we have enough of them yet ) and it will also take time to adjust. We also need fans who have patience and understand what radical changes are taking place.
Springfield Blue and the others are charlatans because a “true” fan would feel pain and not anger after tuesday night. They would share the pain of Roberto Martinez and the players who were desperately trying to win for us. They would not attack them in such a childish, stupid, and pathetic way.
I felt pain because, after all these years, I still feel that I am part of Wigan Athletic and I share in both it’s joy and anguish. I would invite Springfield Blue and the other consumate moaners to crawl back under their various stones – you wont be missed at “New Springfield”.
It is precisely because I have Latics blood flowing through my veins that I am angry at the dire performance that was presented last night. On that performance it didn’t look as if they were desperately trying to win. Martinez said that theteam were tired after playing Villa on Saturday. How my heart bleeds for them. They should try working eight hour shifts, nights on a regular basis or even going down the pit and working every hour available to bring up the family. Then they could claim to be tired!
Never bood them of yet and wont. But they were absolute garbage. Time for Whelan to dress them all down.
And pray where would the club be without him. Still shaking cans outside pubs to pay players wages no doubt.He has done a greart job getting us into the Premier League, but there comes a time when it is necessary to move on.
I have to agree with you. The worst I have ever seem the Latics play in many a long year. Something needs to be done big time before we face Man Utd or we will be massacred.
You cant have been on many home games last season then ! That is all I can say ! We have simply carried on where we left off, hence the crap attendance ! I honestly felt cheated last season and after tonight well I aint countin any chickens like so many did after Sat ! There are too many on here happy with the fact that we are still in Prem and not enough worried that we aint movin forward as a club and establishing ourselves ! Yeah only 2 games in etc but I said same last yr an look what happened, the home form was totally crap and at the end of the day that is what we fork out for ![/quote]
Havn’t missed a Latics home game in the Premier League and surely that was the very worst. Have to agree about the attendance. Really poor.
Sorry Prescott but you must have been watching a differnt game than me. It was utter rubbish. If the chairman doesn’t get the right type of player in, and to do that he will have to spend some serious money then it is relegation. The sooner he sells the club to someone who is prepared to take it seriously the better. I was there before Whelan and will be there after him.
Is this another pearl of wisdom? Who in their right mind would buy Wigan other than another multi-millionaire Wiganner? (And there aint many of them about) Do you think a foreign owner would take it more seriously than Whelan?
Get a grip. It was a bad performance. Every team has them.[/quote]
Anyone would be better than Whelan. At least they would spend serious money to support their investment. I long for the day when I see a camel tied up outside the stadium in the Chairmans parking space. Sooner Whelan goes the better. He will be the downfall of this club.
Yes he was in charge of Swansea when they played Wolves, so that makes tonights rubbish even worse as he should have known how Wolves play. Obviously he has very little experience in knowing how to manage a premier league club. I have my doubts about his suitability as manager. Whelan was spouting about him on Sky Sports over the weekend saying that he will be one of the top four managers in the country. Well not on tonigts performance. Whelan its time you kept your gob shut!
You are completely overreacting. We have lost one game for Christ’s sake. Against a decent side that scored from a set piece early on and then put ten men behind the ball.
Let’s not forget that we are WIGAN. How can losing a Premiership game against Wolves cause so much outrage? We’re by no means the finished article yet.[/quote]
I have got more Wigan Athletic blood in me and more passion for the Latics than Whelan and many others who write on this message board so why should I tolerate such a poor performance. I use hard earned money to support my team and I deserve better than that. If I was as bad as that team tonight then I would be unemployed.

The question is what is Martinez going to do about it, that is if he can do anything about it. Is he out of his depth in the Premier League. I am worried about whether he is the right man for the job.

It is obvious that Martinez lacks the necessary experience of how to play against teams such as Wolves. Hope he learns quickly. If he doesn’t and I was his boss he would be on the dole very quickly. If I continued to make such blazing mistakes at work I would get the sack and why should it be any different for him.
