Dear all, As many of you know, I am an ambassador for Joseph’s Goal. For those of you whom don’t know, Joseph Kendrick is a little boy who suffers from a rare life-limiting condition called Non-Ketotic Hyperglycinemia (NKH). He was also the lucky mascot at the 2013 FA Cup Final, which was a memorable day […]
Light at the end of the tunnel or more pain on the way? You could ask the question of Wigan Athletic both on and off the pitch at the moment. After another week of little information on the takeover front the administrators confirmed late on Friday that they had granted another extension to the exclusivity […]
Although the latest news on the Spanish group makes it seem like the other groups floating around Latics will all be non-starters, there’s still been lots of chatter about what might be involved in these potential bids. Our good friend and Mudhutter editor Migs has gone straight to the horses mouth to get the lowdown […]
Where to start? In the strange world of Wigan Athletic this has to be one of the strangest weeks yet. Despite there being no action on the pitch there’s been plenty of drama off it. Honestly where to start? I’ll try in the short space I have but any sort of summary could stretch to […]
It’s often said that Wigan Athletic achieved more in 25 years than most clubs did in a 125 years. Although it mostly went Pete Tong after relegation from the Premier League Latics under Dave Whelan and then David Sharpe continued to punch above our weight.

Another week passes, another week without any firm update on the takeover and another week without any points for Wigan Athletic. I feel like a broken record but I imagine no so more than John Sheridan does – Saturday’s match with Northampton was supposed to be when the tide turned for Wigan Athletic. But having […]
I have tried to stay out of commenting on the ongoing ownership saga, because a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and the ongoing rumours which keep blowing up, do nobody’s health or sanity any good whatsoever. Can we call it a “saga” at this stage? Well, yes and no. Yes, because of the length […]
It’s not been a good month for Wigan Athletic. September drew to a close with three wins in a row and news of a takeover finally being agreed. It seemed like things were finally looking up after a tumultuous few months, sadly this is Wigan Athletic we’re talking about and things are never that simple […]
It’s been a bruising couple of weeks for John Sheridan’s Wigan Athletic. Let’s take a look at Saturday’s trip to Charlton shall we? The scene of where things fell apart last season (well if we ignore Stanley Choi, Au Yeung and the EFL that is) comparing the performance at Charlton with that of Crewe is […]
Well Saturday was a rude awakening wasn’t it? After the boost of two league wins in a row following quick on the heels of the news of an imminent takeover things were beginning to look rosy again in the Wigan Athletic garden. Sadly a horror show at Crewe brought us crashing back down to earth, […]
