After possibly the longest takeover saga in history, light is at the end of the tunnel for Wigan Athletic and the club’s ownership structure. Rumours first emerged last October that Wigan Athletic could possibly be heading for a takeover, with numerous far eastern groups linked to taking control of the club. After Garry Cook had […]
Fine margins is an often overused phrase, it’s also one that often irks me. Probably due to its overuse by certain Wigan Athletic managers that should be left firmly in the past – I’m looking at you Malky, Warren and Owen. But for this week fine margins is most definitely a suitable phrase. After the […]
Six days, three games, six points. Not a bad return by any stretch. Especially when you consider that two of those wins came at home, extending an excellent record at the DW Stadium and for a short time pushing us up to an impressive third place in the league. The start to the season has […]
Let me state the obvious first. This season is proving to be one of the most exciting for a while, even though we aren’t winning every week. I don’t think we will get promoted, we’re unlikely to finish above Brentford, for a start. Yet we are having a go in every game, watching a team […]
The week didn’t begin as many would have hoped but it’s certainly got better as it’s gone on. We’ve a pretty poor record following international breaks, one of the few benefits of being in League One was the lack of international breaks, being able to build a run of form without having it interrupted with […]
I like to do a little write up every time we do a podcast, no matter how irregular they may be. However, now I’ve gone a bit irregular so bear with me. Episode 49 starts with a load of profanity and drunkenness and gets a lot worse but that is that is certainly not to […]
I know this international break has only been for two weeks but for me personally, it already feels like a lifetime. I’ve not seen us in action since Nottingham Forest at home due to work. So with a clear weekend ahead I can’t wait to get to Euston and head over to West London. Brentford […]
I said after the defeat to QPR it was important we bounced back on our own pitch, and Latics did just that on a Saturday with a well earned three points against Paul Warne’s Rotherham. Our record at home in recent months, and since Paul Cook took over as manager is nothing short of remarkable. […]
It was as sure a thing as you could find, as sure as night follows day you just knew after we beat Stoke so comprehensively on Wednesday that we would come up a cropper at Loftus road. Our record there is abysmal and it really isn’t a happy hunting ground, apart from a Nathan Ellington […]
We’ve only been back in action for ten days but as always following Wigan Athletic it’s never dull. The excellent opening day win over Sheffield Wednesday was followed up by an action packed deadline day that looked to have brought in real quality to the squad. That was followed up by two swift defeats and […]
