Allegedly its 1.5 million plus add ons and Robinson at Fulham may be on the move so more money to prop the club up potentially , unlikely to be spent on players , will be loans and frees again.
Lets hope the investor from elesewhere arrives soon, cannot arrive quickly enough.
Wanted a Hesrts win for a Latics supporter no longer with called Keith Vally who was a Wigan Jambo.
A very old friend of mine and a top bloke.
A shame that especially since Latics gave him his big opportunity.
Had a lot to learn for me and most likely would have been given plenty of opportunity to develop his game next season.
The whole game stinks at the moment in my opinion.
So many things get on my nerves now and the standard is Sunday league level.
I worked with a weapon many years ago who was them ‘reffing’ in the non league.
I saw him make an absolute pigs ear of a game in the premier league recently and he dishes out cards like confetti.
He is completely inept but says a lot about the general standard and it’s need sorting because they will empty the grounds !!
One thing that also grates is Pushing and shoving allowed at corners but penalty given when a free kick comes in from similar location.
can someone explain the difference please ?
Let’s hope so , watched the fans forum footage yesterday .
The owners have most certainly stabilised the club off the pitch and should be given credit for that.
They also seem to have put massive emphasis on the youth and academy as well as community initiatives so fair play to them and it might just attract that investment now the finances are sorted.
Slow progress will do and a few years of consolidation getting better over time will get the club moving forward again. cup runs and flirtations with the top 7 would do for me next year.
Gary seemed very positive about next season though so must have plenty of irons on the fire to talk so ambitiously about the future.
As an ex player he will get time he needs and he seems the perfect man for the job as he did in his first stint 10 years ago.
I think with the right management and scouting and a good youth set up you can achieve things over time without big pots of cash and it just needs patience now from everyone.
Maybe an investor is waiting in the wings for all we know and that is why things are being raked up so positively.
I did find the bit about the £7 pints funny when the panel said £7 was the normal across league 1 and the angry muttering from many Wigan voices present telling them it wasn’t.
onwards and upwards UTFT
Cannot believe in this electronic day and age that they haven’t got goal line technology st this level.
Refs are so poor and and now at Sunday league level in my opinion that goal line technology must be introduced across the EFL to help the officials manage a game.
Imagine if that would have been the difference between staying up and relegation for Latics !
With luck like that I wouldn’t bet against Stevenage winning the play offs.Hopefully the relegation issue will be settled very soon and although a shaky win yesterday i feel it was a very large step towards safety.
Agree with CW , debt free with a few player assets and also a very good youth policy together with an ambitious ex player as head coach who has started so well with very little is surely a positive.
With some sensible investment and a dip into the youth reserves in the summer could start pushing up League 1 and beyond and get the much needed extra supporters back again.
Good defensive display and brilliant from Tickle (who was man of the match imo) last night against a team that had a little bit more quality on the ball and bat for that defence could easily have gone down to a defeat.
Our forward play wasn’t the best last night and the Orient back line easily dealt with those long hoofed balls up to Taylor in a fairly poor 2nd half display.
Gary Caldwell has upped the intensity yes but this leads to misplaced passes and lots of yellow and potentially red cards.
Monday is a must win game but away form is dreadful , can only hope.
