‘He’s lost the dressing room and the supporters, it’s time to go’, ‘time to get rid, it’s not working’. Really? Is this how we’re going to do this? Has the town of Wigan had a collective case of amnesia? Was the opening month of the season so good that it’s blinded us to the very […]
It’s often darkest before the dawn. And my word they have been dark days in Wigan over recent weeks. It’s been said why haven’t Amazon or Netflix decided to film a Sunderland or Wrexham type documentary about us. The reason why is that it would simply be seen as too unrealistic to ever be taken […]
Building bridges? Only time will tell, after the most dramatic (and stressful) three weeks that Wigan Athletic have experienced since administration comes to a close finally there was the chance this week to gain answers (of a sort). After near radio silence from the board for the last month or so the board of directors […]
© It’s never dull is it? Never has that seemed more apt than the last week. There was a headline used back in those heady days of 2015 ‘End of an Error’. That was in relation to the sacking of Malky Mackay after a ruinous period in the history of Wigan Athletic. Though that was […]
It can’t continue, can it*? Played: Nine Lost: Six Won: Zero Drawn: Two For: Eight Against: 21 By all stretches it’s an abysmal record, by some stretch the worst record that a Wigan Athletic manager will have had. Is there any way of us turning this round? The chances are becoming slimmer by the week. […]
It’s not getting any better is it? Another dismal night at the D(ire)W(atch) Stadium ©* *Someone funnier than me I had big hopes going in to this game, foolishly. Two draws against Luton in the original game and the battling point against Cardiff on Saturday afternoon had pointed to something. What that something was I […]
Fourteen goals conceded, only four scored, four defeats – a shedload of injuries and a probable terminal hit to our survival chances. It all looked so different before the festive period, the new era getting underway with a positive draw at Millwall. Even on the 19th December we could and should have got a point […]
It’s been a while hasn’t it? At the time of writing 25 days to be precise, the first winter World Cup has provided a relief of sorts but nothing to ever replace the domestic football that it so foolishly replaced thanks to Fifa’s grubby decision making over a decade ago. With the bottom two divisions […]
I can’t have been the only one to wonder if it was actually going to get over the line can I? When it was first revealed that the club had decided to make Kolo Toure the new first team manager the World Cup hadn’t even begun, now we’ve nearly reached the end of the group […]
Even by our ‘It’s Never Dull” © standards this has to go some. After it emerged last week that we had approached Yaya Toure to speak to us about the managerial vacancy and he had subsequently turned us down to remain as a coach at Tottenham, a few days later another Toure was suddenly in […]
