When do wigan fans not moan about their owners. Some are boycotting and not renewing season tickets. Joke of a club with the most deluded fans you will find. Many still think they compare in size and stature to us ,pne,Burnley etc. They gave it the big un to the rugby lot about owning the ground ,now the tables been turned they cant cope,they are lucky to still be in business. As has been said they will be a hard act to sell in their current state . They need to crowd fund to build a ground that fits their fanbase ,shouldn't cost much.

Fucking wankers

I didn't realise he was part of that free agent squad that we got Christie from.

Exactly the type of signing we could do with, and that's not a moan, just an observation.

Not transfer as such but it would have followed ...

Derby take-over, only confirmed last week, is off.

Boo-hoo fckg hoo. Series overspenders.

CLUB STATEMENT: The club can confirm discussions with Lion Sport to buy a controlling interest in Derby County will no longer proceed.

The purchase process had been sanctioned by both the Independent Football Regulator and the EFL, notification of which the club received last week.

However, today the club received notice that Lion Sport no longer wanted to continue with the purchase.

For the benefit of any doubt, the club is now off the market and will continue to operate under the loyal, committed and unwavering support of Clowes Developments.

Our preparations continue for the new EFL season, beginning against Charlton Athletic on Saturday.

The club will offer no further comment.

Yes his international status and transfer to City for big money was always a bit of a mystery to me.

There are a few others who played for City, and England, in modern times and were just average.

Fabian Delph, Jolian Lescott, Adam Johnson, Jack Rodwell, Rico Lewis.

I assumed Phillips had signed as a free agent, but no he's still got 2 years left at City!

On maybe £100k a week? £5mil a year? Here's £10mil for doing nothing for another 2 years.

And we criticise IE for signing Randall, but Pep's a genius who can spot talent. No comeback on costing City about £200mil on Phillips and Grealish.

I'm fairly sure a lot of those signings by City were to meet the homegrown rule while they built up their academy. No need for those kind of signings though now they've got access to the best global youngsters and can just register some of those as homegrown

Phillips was our best player in Euro 21.

Been plop for half a decade since mind

Fair point, it was all a bit throwaway from me, as an outsider, wondering how a club like City end up paying fortunes for some players.

The academy situation doesn't explain the number of caps some of them got for England though 😄

I always pooh-pooed the idea that big clubs get more players capped ... until Andy (Andrew) Cole signed for Stretford.

He'd scored more than a goal every other game (55 in 70) for then unfashionable Newcastle & not a sniff.

Signed by the Red Shite he was drafted into the England squad almost before he played a match. I recall the feeble excuses made by the powers that be at the time.

5th highest scorer in PL history

he was dog shit for England though

peter crouch , i think, did that too.

mAybe he won his first cap for southampton , but, i think it was the close season and theyd just been relegated, so might never have played a southampton game while a 'current' england international, despite scoring pretty regularly for a struggling team .

it might not be andy cole level bullshit. but it felt the same.

same thing with Heskey

I long for the days when an England squad was announced & I knew who more than half of them were.

My fault I guess but it's weird when it happens.

Coming off a Premier League contract, tough for teams to get close to the wage he would have been on previously for a decent left back.

My mate (Sunderland season ticket holder) reckons Cirkin was on £30k a week at Sunderland.
