Where to start? In the strange world of Wigan Athletic this has to be one of the strangest weeks yet. Despite there being no action on the pitch there’s been plenty of drama off it. Honestly where to start? I’ll try in the short space I have but any sort of summary could stretch to […]
It’s often said that Wigan Athletic achieved more in 25 years than most clubs did in a 125 years. Although it mostly went Pete Tong after relegation from the Premier League Latics under Dave Whelan and then David Sharpe continued to punch above our weight. I think that’s what makes the last few months even […]
Another week passes, another week without any firm update on the takeover and another week without any points for Wigan Athletic. I feel like a broken record but I imagine no so more than John Sheridan does – Saturday’s match with Northampton was supposed to be when the tide turned for Wigan Athletic. But having […]
I have tried to stay out of commenting on the ongoing ownership saga, because a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and the ongoing rumours which keep blowing up, do nobody’s health or sanity any good whatsoever. Can we call it a “saga” at this stage? Well, yes and no. Yes, because of the length […]
It’s not been a good month for Wigan Athletic. September drew to a close with three wins in a row and news of a takeover finally being agreed. It seemed like things were finally looking up after a tumultuous few months, sadly this is Wigan Athletic we’re talking about and things are never that simple […]
It’s been a bruising couple of weeks for John Sheridan’s Wigan Athletic. Let’s take a look at Saturday’s trip to Charlton shall we? The scene of where things fell apart last season (well if we ignore Stanley Choi, Au Yeung and the EFL that is) comparing the performance at Charlton with that of Crewe is […]
Well Saturday was a rude awakening wasn’t it? After the boost of two league wins in a row following quick on the heels of the news of an imminent takeover things were beginning to look rosy again in the Wigan Athletic garden. Sadly a horror show at Crewe brought us crashing back down to earth, […]
It’s been another topsy turvy type of week at the Dave Whelan Stadium (I wonder how much longer we’ll be calling it that post takeover). Following the highs of the news of a successful bid being accepted for the Latics and another important win over Doncaster, Tuesday saw the link of the name of one […]
Dare we dream that this living hell that we’ve all been part of for the last three months may be coming to an end? Nearly three months to the day that Begbies Traynor walked through the door and the life of every Wigan Athletic fan was tossed up in to the air a statement was […]
It’s really beginning to feel like groundhog day isn’t it? Yet another week passes by, another week with no real movement on the takeover of Wigan Athletic and another week where the administrators from Begbies Traynor manage to contradict themselves – sometimes in the space of a few minutes, let alone days. Let’s have another […]
