Ah yes, Stan McEwan. The bloke must have been on wages of a hundred grand a week given the number of people who claim to have thrown money into the famous collection buckets. I will try and probably fail to keep this brief in case in the hope it can somehow by read by a […]
Depression reigns at Wigan. Dreams of getting back into the top flight are now a thing of the past. The harsh reality is that League 1 is getting scaringly close, following a woeful 1-0 home loss to Huddersfield Town. Is Malky Mackay the right man to get Latics out of the relegation mire? Mackay’s […]
OK, let’s get a few cards on the table before I launch into another tirade against a misfiring club. I’ve supported Wigan Athletic for a quarter of a century, most of those as a season ticket holder and have seen us fighting against relegation out of the league and the glory of an FA Cup […]
1. Sack Mackay Or agree to terminate by mutual consent. It’s not worked. It’s never worked and it never will work. Those charges hanging over him are preventing him from doing his job. He has not moved up north by all accounts and is not likely to either. We have made mistakes in the past […]
Well, well looks like we have another must win game on the horizon. There is of course a counter argument which states that there is no such thing as a “must win” game when there are twenty games left. However, the only team we are getting any closer to is the one team who are […]

Despite that William Kvist made a successful return, playing the full 94 minutes against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday. Why had the Denmark captain been left out in the cold for so long? Can he become a regular […]

Uwe Rosler was excited about his new signing saying that: “…… he is still learning and, at just 22, I feel that we can provide the right sort of environment for him to grow and develop into a really important player for this club.” Can James […]
“ Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.” So said the guru of leadership studies, Professor Warren Bennis. A couple of years ago my wife and I went on holiday to Vietnam. Walking the streets in the humid and sultry heat of Saigon around midday I was taken by surprise. There were four […]
Well I’d say it’s crunch time again. In October, we had two home games on the bounce versus Brentford and Millwall which were set to define Rosler’s future and we mustered up two 0-0 draws whilst grasping on to the last throes of a doomed promotion push. This time we face Blackburn and Huddersfield at […]
A non-scientific guide Previous managers 15% Yeah, let’s blame Roberto Martinez firstly for getting us relegated, as many of his detractors like to crow about, setting aside 11th May 2013. And not pinning enough players down to long term contracts. Also for signing a certain players who play a certain way who despite their talents […]
