Well it’s all Doom & Gloom here in the TNS Wigan offices; it’s very sad indeed, lots of glum faces. Listening to what Uwe has recently said on BBC Radio Manchester, it looks like there are also glum faces within the club too; with the fact Uwe can’t seem to buy the players at reasonable prices! […]
No breakfast for once as we had to get ready for our trip home. We took the train back to Dusseldorf airport and flew home on time back to Manchester having had an eventful and enjoyable ten days in Germany and were now all set up for the Reading game. A German Sojurn…..a diary of […]

A rest day in Dusseldorf, a leisurely breakfast was followed by a walk around the city and an open top bus tour in wonderfully hot weather. We topped this off with food and more drink at the longest bar in the world and then off to bed ready for our trip to Paderborn the next […]
