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. A performance that was full of plaudits and a performance were Latics were well worth a point if not at all three. A […]
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 […]
“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 […]

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 […]
Is this it? Is the nightmare going to come to an end? In this horrific years of years will Wigan Athletic supporters be bestowed with an early Christmas present? As always over the last eleven weeks – who knows? It’s now over two weeks since Jose Miguel Garrido Cristo was disqualified by the EFL and […]
