Might not of been the best signing but even so given our demise since might of been better giving Sam the money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators Casino 2,408 Posted February 18 Moderators Share Posted February 18 Allardyce was fantastic for us That cant be denied Still think the players he left us with werent what they couldve been It was all too short termist But that was probably the only way we could achieve what we did Who knows...great times Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might not of been the best signing but even so given our demise since might of been better giving Sam the money. One Stretford wete in for Smith we had no chance. Sam claims to have presented a list of 4 names & that any two of them would gave got us into the Champion's League level. But Gartside, & I assume Eddie, said we hadn't the resources & we got none of them. We were 3rd at that time going into the January window. Sam never got over that & decided the club couldn't meet his ambitions. Maybe he was right. But how much would the club have benefitted ? But Sam often claims to have been offered this player or that ... Drogba being one he speaks of. However, for all of his successes there were consideable failures. For every Faye, a Blessing Kaku. His single biggest failing was not "doing a Southampton" & setting up a strong youth system so we were producing quality and not always buying it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ani 1,201 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 In should be a criminal offence to criticise Sams time here but his actions since make it easier. It is OK Sam claiming he had all these great players lined up. Some of which will be true. But when given a bit of money at Newcastle he went out and spent £6m on Alan Smith. At every club he has been at his story afterwards is how if he had been backed he would have signed certain players (Luca Modric is the Newcastle Drogba). What happened at Bolton when he was here in terms of players, results and the whole journey was brilliant. He was innovative and exciting. But he has never replicated that success. I said when left it was a bad day for us and would be for him in the long term. If you could be arsed to go back plenty of idiots on here were glad to see him go.

paulhanley 585 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Read another story about a new party interested in buying them yesterday. None of them ever do though. These fuckers have been in admin since July. If they are still in this position come June they are back out of the football league. I felt a bit sorry when Bury went even though they hated us. I won't be sorry if these tinpot charlatans expire. Enjoying every minute of events since last Summer, including these last two home defeats. Bring on their demise.

Dale has taken them for everything. They have a history and genuine fans who are still gutted. Wigan only go when the Rugby team is away.

Mantra 115 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 From Simon Stone, bbc reporter "Wigan Athletic remain in administration but the situation needs resolving quickly as EFL rules prevent them starting a second campaign without a buyer. A consortium led by a Bahrain-based businessman is now the front runner but negotiations have slowed. It seems paperwork has been submitted to the EFL, who are broadly supportive, but somewhere along the line there has been a hold-up and as each day passes without a resolution, the chances of it actually happening reduce. Funding, apparently, is not the issue and this deal is seen as being more viable than the Spanish one that collapsed at Christmas. But it is fair to say frustration is growing from all sides, which is not helping as the club battle to avoid relegation into League Two." Doesn't fill you with optimism does it Read the above on their latics speyk board... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
