Whilst I do agree in essence, they tried this in rugby and all that happens is the competiton gets watered down and becomes shite.
Take away the likes of Aguero, Silva, De Bryune, Hazard, De Gea, Pogba, Salah, Mane, Firminio, Eriksen, Van Dijk.
Yes English players will get a chance but chances are they are nowhere near as talented otherwise they’d already be playing.
It could be worse
Egg would you pay £35 to watch wigan v saints don’t matter which ground but would you and please be honest with your answer
No I probably wouldn’t unless it was a final in which case I have paid it before but as you all love to tell me and anyone else that will listen, rugby league is a nothing sport that nobody cares about.
We are talking about the 2nd tier of the biggest sport in the country.[/quote]
And the £161 tickets at Twickers were for the year’s biggest international match in the country’s second biggest sport ;)[/quote]Was a top game.
£35 to watch a game in the 2nd tier isn’t bad at all. There were some seats at Twickenham yesterday that cost £161
We played Middlesboro yesterday!!![/quote]
I thought I didn’t recognise anyone.

Now we should learn from this. How do Bolton get round charging this price to away fans. Surely they don’t charge that for home fans too. Unless they do but if not then how do they do it?Does the “same price for the same view and facilities” rule apply?
What has changed your opinion since the start of the season when we had pace and creativity and Gibson was class?
Now come on Sammy, you know as well as I do that we should be 20 points clear and winning every game 4 or 5 nil.
In support of Cooky we played with plenty flare, creativeness and hard work last season but this league is a huge step up.
I like many was pretty happy with the signings in August but had doubts about a couple but at least it looked like we had signed players to cover in most positions. Macca, Garner, Evans and Windass sounded great and we had kept Powell.
In reality we would never have expected to be using 4 or 5 players as cover in a match.
This just didn’t happen last season. It may have been a little harder last season if that was the case.We also played with plenty of flare and creativeness at the start of the season until the injuries kicked in.
We’re Wigan Athletic, we don’t have a squad of 25 world beaters.
You’re right there bigroy and Shaun Wane at the rugby is a prime example. Not convinced of his tactical talents but he could get the players to run through walls. Fergie could also get his players to do the same in a footballing sense.
I don’t think it’s a lack of that from Paul Cook though as such but it was certainly alarming at how they were first to absolutely everything and usually in 2s and 3s.
Agree to an extent yes.
The new owners have stressed an importance on youth so I don’t expect him to go anywhere.
Marcelo Bielsa is known worldwide as a football genius and has wrote coaching manuals on the subject. Paul Cook is a relatively inexperienced coach in comparison and may never develop such knowledge. He has spent hardly a penny this summer but has turned Leeds into a struggling mid table club to one top of the table.
Players’ willingness to track back has nothing to do with writing coaching manuals.
The players couldn’t be bothered at that point and were just stood watching.
That’s not about coaching – that’s about giving them a bloody great kick up their backsides to put some effort in.[/quote]Exactly. At no point will Paul Cook have said “should we get a break away nobody bother busting a gut to get in support just leave him to it” nor would he have said “if a lad makes a run into the box don’t bother following him just leave him in acres of space and leave someone free in the middle for him to pass to” and I heavily doubt his half time team talk to Christian Walton would have said “drop the ball at that lad Roofe’s feet when you get chance. The earlier the better, that should do it”
Not everything that happens on the field is Cookies fault and at the minute the bits that he can do nothing about are the bits that are screwing us over. IE – Players individual mistakes.
