Lower league at home please.
Why? 5000 of their fans and none of ours?
Either a top 6 PL club at home or the lowest ranked team away.[/quote]
Accrington away
That’s if they can even match what we are paying him anyway.
I think regular first team Football at a team that are above us may be enough of as pull for him anyway.[/quote]
That’s why I think he will go unless we can pay him far more.
From an outsider looking in with no bias i will throw my view in.
Firstly a massive problem from when i was a ST holder was the ‘jobs for the boys’ mentality that engulfs the club behind the scenes from the boardroom down. Barrow and company need clearing out asap if The Latics are to move forward.
I actually think Joyce has the makings of a very good manager and the first transfer target (albeit controversial) is a dynamic and skillful midfielder in Ravel Morrison. He has been dealt a shitty hand in having to inherit a squad full of over the hill and over hyped players signed by another ‘jobs for the boys’ type appointment (although i also think Caldwell should have been given to the end of the season to rectify it)
The appointment of a chairman in his mid 20’s in my view is just ridiculous. He might be a Latics fan but he doesn’t know what is best for the club and it’s just a decent way of Whelan keeping his hand in. He will be off when grandad tells him it’s time to go.
I cannot believe fans have not yet realised that saying ‘we are playing well, we will come good, we deserve better’ doesn’t wash. After 4 years of saying that with Martinez it has carried on ever since. It’s like some people set very low standards for the club and expect them to be in the lower leagues.You have to earn the right to win and that side is extremely, extremely poor. It’s devoid of any skill or pace bar Yanick. Far too many clumsy loan deals and freebies of players in their 30’s. It smacks of what Blackpool started doing after their time in the Premiership came to an end and now they are near a sticky end. Very similar chairmen in my opinion. Like i said, i think Joyce has the credentials but he is working for an amateur chairman and he won’t spend any money. I can’t see Wigan Athletic getting out of trouble this season and then anything could happen.
Few questions/points Yosser.
Q – Having been a ST holder why are you no longer even a fan?
From a squad of 27 (if you count Bogdan) only 7 are in their 30s with 4 of them 30 or 31. Hardly an ageing squad.
Q – Seeing as our budget is the 16th biggest in the league with some clubs paying 5 or 6 times PER PLAYER than us, where do you expect us to be?
Q – Should we risk the future of the club like Bolton and Blackpool as you mentioned and spend massively despite getting crowds of 9k and having shirts from 2 seasons ago in the club shop still?[/quote]Both Blackpool and Bolton have had the piss taken out of them by the people at the top, as are Blackburn now but if you look at how far Burnley have come over the last few years then maybe we have something we could learn from them! Bournemouth are another small club who spring to mind! Since we were relegated from the Prem I personally think there have been some bad business choices ![/quote]
Burnley agreed and its what we need. That one year in the spotlight. Bet wage bill is well bigger than ours though.
Aint Bournemouths owner minted?
Will end up being a 1 tier league with franchises soon which is what they wanted from the start which is why the clubs below Super League get no help whatsoever.True egg. Us Saints, you goons, Leeds, Wire, Hull, Huddersfield, Catalans, Toulouse, Toronto, London, Widnes and probably Cas.
Get it for big games that might never happen again but they sell them every week in Prem. Who wants a Utd v city scarf?
