So Wigan. We often talk about things that are just ‘so Wigan’, things that don’t happen to other clubs. Like your owner putting you in to administration after threatening to liquidate you a day after completing the takeover. All during a deadly pandemic. So Wigan. That trend of unique effects has continued as Wigan Athletic […]
How great a feeling is it not to spend every day wondering whether or not your football club will survive? The pain of the last nine months won’t disappear in a hurry but the relief of the last week has been palatable, we’ve got to hold on to this feeling and try to harness that […]
Saturday definitely had the feeling of after the Lord Mayor’s Show for me. The excitement of three matches unbeaten and a takeover virtually completed gave way to that familiar feeling of Latics being just not quite good enough. Saturday’s match with Accrington started in the finest possible way. A Callum Lang goal within the opening […]
Is the nightmare nearly at an end? Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Will there be sunshine when skies are grey? It feels too good to be true, we’ve been burnt too many times in the last year – it feels like it still can’t be real. But real it is and […]
There’s definite signs of life, it’s not perfect by any stretch yet but there’s progress. Despite losing against Lincoln on Saturday Latics provided the best response to the 5-0 drubbing against Hull.

Well, it is character building if nothing else. Hear me out here, but just as every football club has their days in the sun, we’ve also got to accept our periods in the doldrums. Whether we deserved for it to happen in such a disastrous, malicious manner is a point for discussion, most Wigan Athletic […]
The blows keep raining down, like a boxer curled up on the floor of the ring with the referee stood over for the count. It really is a case of how much more can Wigan Athletic take? How much more can this club, this fanbase, this beleaguered coaching staff take? If December had seen positive […]
It’s been another frustrating week for Wigan Athletic – on the pitch at least. A trip to Northampton that was a classic six pointer was called off at the last minute due to a water logged pitch, that was after other six pointers against Wimbledon and Swindon had also been called off over the last […]
So that’s the week that was, it’s very much one step forward and two steps back for Wigan Athletic at the moment. This is natural with a club still in the pits of administration and all the chaos that goes with it, especially a side that is so young and with such a high turnover […]
Where do we go from here? Quite literally what do we do now? So after fourteen weeks, one disqualification and numerous tweaked plans the Spanish takeover of Wigan Athletic fell at the final hurdle. Despite Begbies Traynor telling us that ‘no problems were envisaged’ and the deal would originally be ‘completed in two to three […]
