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 […]
The term has often been used over the years but it is never more apt. Supporting Wigan Athletic is very much like being on a roller coaster, especially if you’re the sort of person who gets violently sick with a sudden shock, or if you get carried away with the occasional moment of jubilance, only […]
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 […]
“Alan, some of the stuff is so off the wall…” Gerald Krasner, Wigan Athletic Administrator, 27th August 2020. Imagine standing on the edge of a cliff, peering at the rocks below, there’s a biting cold rain and a bitter wind at your back. A strange rasping voice in your ear tells you it’s only a […]
Another week in purgatory flies by, 206 days in total now. Not that anyone is counting. I’d like to perhaps talk about the on field activity this week but I can’t promise it will last, as one is inextricably linked to the other. Now, more so than ever. So when Rochdale went down to ten […]
“The daily scrutiny from people who actually aren’t that educated, but seem to have the biggest opinions – I personally find quite difficult.” No one could ever claim that the relationship between administrators Begbies Traynor and Wigan Athletic fans had ever been all rosy but relations soured even further this week as another dramatic 24 […]
Thirteen weeks and six days, thirteen weeks and six days literally thrown away. The best part of four months being told that it’s nearly done, that it’s just a few days away. That all’s fine we’re just dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s. Being told not to worry about another week passing by as […]
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 […]
**Written before the news that the Spanish takeover of Wigan Athletic had collapsed. Revel in the relative positivity of seven days ago** How do you even begin to look back on the last twelve months? I’ve tried and failed to start this intro three times now. There is simply no way of dressing it up […]
