Literally know nobody who has managed to get tickets for this. Usually one or two would manage to get tickets despite the usual shit show.

Was it not five years to get back to the Championship?

As someone who has worked for Mike Danson's companies for the best part of 20 years, this is undoubtedly good news for Wigan. I don't think he will write a blank cheque for them (although he has the cash to be able to do that). However, I don't think buying the football is any kind of front just to protect the rugby. He will want both to be successful.

No. He can play but he's a luxury who will look great when we are 3-0 up on a sunny day but go completly missing when we are up against some of the L1 cloggers we have to face. I think we can do better.

Fuckin hell mate that leaves us with 13 players 8 of which you would only have as keep 😂
Xavier has probably played 45 mins in 4 months and you want to ship him back
OK - maybe a bit ambitious trying to do it all in one transfer window but that's the direction we need to be travelling in over the next two windows if we want to compete in L1.
I've not seen anything from Amaechi in those 45 mins so far. He's got until Jan to show something. If he doesn't send him back.

We need a GK, RB, CB, CM, No. 10, CF as a minimum
As for the current squad:
Gilks - retirement
Jones - keep
John - keep (been utter shite recently though)
Williams - keep
Santos - keep
Johnstone - squad player (started well but has gone off a cliff)
Delf - get rid
Sheehan - keep
Doyle - keep (long term we need a better striker so Doyle can become the L1 Shaun Miller)
Bakayoko - squad player
Dixon - squad player
Xavier - send back? Is he any better than Politic? He will be on more money as well
Aimson - squad player
Dapo - keep
Tutte - get rid
Lee - keep
Brockbank - get rid
Isgrove - keep
Kachunga - squad player
Thomason - loan out
Baptiste - get rid
Gordon - get rid

Heard a whisper that Comley's contract has been paid up and he might be the other person that Agent McGee was referring to.

Will the club's stance on gambling affect this?
The club are firmly against all forms of gambling (except those it benefits directly from)

Actually, I'm probably wrong - perhaps it won't be as drastic as that today but a if it doesn't improve in 7 days sort of message?
Things won't improve in 7 days not with the rate of increase we are seeing currently.

Four years at my daughter's school now home schooling due to positive tests - the most since the pandemic began. The situation in Bolton is clearly going south rapidly.

Scott Sellars' lad manages Bradford - just to make everyone feel old.

So we’re getting a bit if a rough deal from these fuckers this season.
5 Red cards for us so far this season - none for our opponents, 4 penalties awarded against us, 1 penalty awarded in our favour. Disallowed goals. bookings, and strange decisions aplenty.
If it was just a case of the Refs being shit, surely 50% of those shit decisions would come our way? - but they don't, far from it.
Is it just them getting a bit giddy & wanting to stick it up a team that used to sit at the top table, or could it be something a bit more sinister?
The EFL surely wouldn’t brief refs to fuck us over...would they?
Aren’t the refs controlled by that bastion of fairness and goodwill towards us Mike Riley? I know he heads up PGMOL.
-
Cases in Bolton up 8% now. Something going on and council are investigating. Horwich and Doffcocker accounting for most of the new cases.

The latest figures still show cases falling, albeit slowly. The rest of GM are falling quicker which is why we now have the highest rate.
Saw this in the MEN about cases rising - https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/latest-coronavirus-infection-rates-greater-19797477
You would expect cases in Bolton to be falling by a double digit % like the other regions especially so far into lockdown.
-
Bolton cases rising again. Not sure how if we’ve been in lockdown. Back to being highest case rate in GM.

Just in case anyone is interested, I've listed some of the main points from Evatt and Gartside:
Evatt
Apologized for performances but says there is method in the madness and they are laying the foundations for future success
Current position is temporary - no-one at the club is happy with it but still thinks we have something to play for this season. Will finish higher than we are now.
Looking for quick fixes in Jan window but will strengthen squad
Processes/structure for recruitment at club need to improve
No U23's has been a problem - not been able to loan out or arrange friendlies because of COVID - doing lots of 11 v 11 in training to make up for it
Possession is our identity - mentality issues causing us to go behind early in games - looking to get sports psychologist in
Played Sarcevic too deep at the start of the season
Sees young players in training every day - played games when not ready last season - they are talented but not ready to cope with L2 week in week out yet
Has learned it's a big job and more difficult than he expected
Lots of work being done behind the scenes that you can't see at the moment but this will benefit club in future
We are a work in progress. Stick with us and keep the faith - we will turn it around
Gartside
Club aiming for sustainability using assets like hotel and property
Wants stadium to work 365 days a year but can't at the moment because of COVID - success of stadium and hotel more important for us now we are in L2
Events starting to come back to stadium and hotel
Owners want us to become a Championship club again - once club back in Championship they will review their strategy
On course to pay off creditors - not expecting further penalties or sanctions
Support from fans this season humbling - ST sales, ST waivers, iFollow
COVID delayed academy restructure
Finances will remain robust if we have to spend another season in L2
Important for Sharon to do good in the community - trying to rebuild relationships in town destroyed by KA
Building foundations now for future growth
Utilized furlough for people exiting the business
Wanted iFollow ST pass to include away games but got outvoted by other L2 clubs
Averaging 2,500 streams for each away game on Ifollow - biggest in L2 - Streams for Tranmere away highest of season
Football is cyclical - dark days now but good days will return

I was on the call. I believe the ST are putting the recording online so everyone can view.
I thought Gartside spoke well I must say.
-
When things are going to rat shit, it's always the guy who is out of the team that becomes our best player.
Comley is crap. I would rather play Riley, Darcy or Graham if we are settling for mid table.
