Now the dust has settled on an eventful season for Wigan Athletic we can take the opportunity to look back on some of its highlights. Despite a topsy-turby season Callum McManaman remains Wigan’s most exciting player. The video below is kindly shared with us by a Latic fanatic and captures some of his best moments […]
Andrew Taylor is the first of Uwe Rosler’s summer signings. The experienced left back still had two more years of his contract remaining at Cardiff City. It is understood that Wigan Athletic have not paid an upfront fee for the 27 year old, but Cardiff will receive a payment if Latics get promotion. Taylor is […]
I’ve got the pictures, well three of ’em but for the life of me I can’t remember who the opposition were at Springfield Park in the late seventies. I vaguely remember it being a benefit / friendly match but not sure if a programme was produced either, probably the reason I can’t find it ! One sage here at TNS reckons it was against […]
“My time in Wigan was unforgettable.” So said Jordi Gómez after he had cut his five year tie with Wigan Athletic by agreeing to join Sunderland. The myriad of Latics fans that for months had been campaigning for him to stay through the social media were to be disappointed, although in their heart of hearts they probably […]
Following Uwe Rosler’s appointment in December, Billy Grant gave us a fan’s view of the German’s time at Brentford (click here to see the previous article). Six months later we have come back to Billy to give us more of his insight. Billy writes for the Brentford fanzine http://www.Beesotted.co.uk (Twitter – @beesotted). He will also […]
Has there ever been a manager of Wigan Athletic who has achieved a popularity rating as high as that of Uwe Rosler within just six months of taking over? The ex-Manchester City centre forward has lifted the whole club, introducing a new dynamic. After the disastrous reign of Owen Coyle there is once again light […]
“The FA Cup winners, The Capital One Cup winners and The Championship play off winners had to beat Wigan Athletic en route to victory !” seems to be all over “social media” (I hate that term, old codger I know) but it does just about sum up our season. Not quite good enough when […]
“We will be investing in our playing and coaching staff, and I think it’s important to keep working on changing the culture at the football club.” So said Uwe Rosler to the Wigan Evening Post this week. When Roberto Martinez took over as manager of Wigan Athletic in June 2009, he quickly got to […]
Leicester City were once again champions of the second tier of English football this year. No club has done that more than the Foxes, this being their seventh title. Leicester were deserving winners of the 2013-2014 Skybet Championship. Manager Nigel Pearson had built up a squad that in terms of quality and depth was far […]
Much to the pleasure of our neighbours, back in 2005 as Latics began their Premier League campaign a Wigan Athletic flag flew proudly in Aspull Towers garden. I was working on the idea if it was good enough for the Queen to fly her “standard” at Buckingham Palace was she was at home it was good for Latics whilst […]
