Rosler out…
Out of time, out of ideas, out of favour, out of fashion, out of his mind, out of this world, out of luck…

How do you solve a problem like Uwe ?
Just finished reading three books about the beloved game I adore, “I am Zlatan Ibrahimovic” “When The Whistle Blows: The Story of The Footballer’s Battalion in The Great War” & “Knocking Down Walls” by non other Latics Manager Uwe Rosler. A varied selection you will no doubt agree ( if you have read ’em) I […]
Latics review
You’ve got to love Barnsley Mick haven’t you? I suspect that some of our fans would probably love a man like Mick McCarthy running our club, even though he is also a foreigner (from Yorkshire). He did a proper job on us on Monday night and I think we have to take our hats off […]
Maloney or Forshaw or both?
They say that every new manager likes to bring in his own men. Owen Coyle brought in ten new players at the start of last season. He had little choice than to do otherwise, with twelve members of the senior squad players having left following relegation, together with the need for a large squad due […]
Punching below our weight?
I don’t like getting critical over footballing matters. Indeed, I prefer to pour scorn as a nation of bedroom football managers tell the actual manager of their football club everything they’re doing wrong via the medium of the internet. I’ve always done my football writing from a cultural perspective: fans are there to support the […]

Your website pays tribute to an almost unheard of era where a team from a medium sized town actually won the title of the top division of English football for […]
William Kvist – a Danish fan’s view
William Kvist is a highly experienced defensive midfield player who Latics have signed on a one year contract following his release from VfB Stuttgart. The 6 foot tall Dane is 29 years old and appears to be the right sort of player to play in front of the Latics defence. Kvist made 8 appearances on […]
Faded Lois Dreams
We’re a creative lot us Wiganers and news has come to TNS of a new book being launched by Andrew Vaughan. Vaughanie is generally considered one of the Godfathers of independent writing in Wigan and also created Wigan Athletic’s first ever fanzine, the Cockney Latic in the late Eighties. His brilliant new book is available […]
Latics’ squad now strong and well balanced
Wigan Athletic fans are buzzing again. Despondency had crept in with the impending departure of that great Latics servant and FA Cup winner, James McArthur. It looked like Rosler was not going to get the extra striker he desperately needed with the Andy Delort situation continuing to be uncertain. Moreover difficulties over dealing with Everton’s […]
