Ahhh Wigan. I foolishly thought last months financial results may have provided some much needed context to a club still reeling from two financial disasters in as many years, clearly I was wrong. The (internet) fan base reverted to type on Monday evening as we were DUN WI Maloney and Danson would be seeing THI […]
Never Again!
The release of last week’s financial accounts made for sobering reading for all Wigan Athletic supporters.

The Cameroon international has signed on a one year deal and plays at, wait for it… left back.

Romanzo Criminale
British TV was once the envy of the world. Now it is a mix of reality shows, ageing celebrity comebacks and repeats from yesteryear.
