I don’t think you can compare supporting a sports team/person with anything else. There’s just nothing that matches it.
You don’t follow a TV program or film series in the same way as you do in this case a football team. If they cancel your favourite TV program you don’t stop watching TV or refuse to watch any program of a similar genre. If Latics ceased to exist though I wouldn’t start watching another team. Similarly, as much as I like the James Bond films I have never been reduced to tears and hugged random strangers when he kills the bad guy and been on a night out to celebrate with friends and fellow Bond fans.
You take the rough with the smooth – the good with the bad. The good always feels 10x better when you have been through the bad. I don’t go to every game because I can’t afford to but the entertainment value doesn’t and never will dictate whether or not I go.
It’s not called “blind faith supporting” it’s called “SUPPORTING”
Only going when you enjoy it or feel you get something back from the club makes you a fan, not a supporter.
Those who seem happy to want Uwe back & who also believe in the importance of pre-season need to remember what an absolute balls up of the pre-season he made, which culminated in one game having to be cancelled as his fitness regime had em all dropping like fliesIn fact so much was wrong with what happened between May 2014 & his sacking in the Autumn that I’m staggered anybody could want him back.
He also hadn’t learnt his lessons coz from speakign with a Leeds fan I work with he was makign the same mistakes there
Most managers don’t tend to change their philosophies or beliefs. Uwe will always play that way, Bobby will always play the Spanish way and Jurgen Klopp will always play the way he plays which is why Liverpool players are either injured or knackerd.
We need to forget the style of play when we look for a new manager and concentrate on their ability. I don’t care personally if we play route one or park the bus provided it gets results.
Would we have had any more points had we beat Chester or Macclesfield? No. Games mean f*** all.
What did cost us was crap recruitment and messing about with a close knit squad with a winning mentality.
The biggest balls up of the season was appointing Warren Joyce and allowing him to stay as long as he did and yet another total balls up in January.
Absolutely !
I would love it, if the Latics pulled of the great escape.
We could re-group and learn from the mistakes of this season.Plus you could just see the media saying, Blackburn & Birmingham are too big to be relegated, whereas “little Wigan on the other hand ”
Come on you Tics

Heart will always believe until that R shows up.
They could survive if they win all their remaining games despite showing no evidence of doing so and all the others get beat. Oh hang on, where have I heard shite talk like that before?
Biggest doom and gloom monger on this forum, bar none. It must be a barrel of laughs in your household. Your avatar has been aptly chosen.[/quote]
You think? I’m a realist mate not a fucking idiot with rose tinted glasses on! There is nothing more than I would like than for you to rub this in my face after the Leeds game but it’s not gonna happen, let it go! And the avatar is of psilocybin mushrooms which have been proven to help depression and the like, they are also a good laugh so yeah it is a barrel of laughs here :) Nice tie by the way! ;)[/quote]
Have you placed money on us to go down like you did last time?*
*apologies if that wasn’t you
It would be even more appropriate that the smallest club in PL history, and one that was in the 4th tier not long ago, are the ones who relegate us.How are we going to relegate you?
One up top doesn’t have to be negative especially with 3 attacking midfielders behind but that debates been flogged to death on here.
The formation should be flexible and that team could easily change to the good old 442
Further more, ‘one up top’ is the norm these days – with all but 3 of the Premier League teams playing it, and over half the Championship teams.
So Sharpe will have to look far and wide* if he is to find a manager who our grumbling masses deem good enough for the club, and who favours a rigid 4-4-2 formation.

Yes but Leicester won the league playing it and Burnley play it.
Mike Bassett played it in the World Cup too.
Won’t be too many clubs queuing up for many of them so if they under contract I think we will be OK.
I thought the first 20 minutes or so were OK but then it all went very flat once Forest went in front both on and off the pitch.
