Re: On this day

WestYorksRoyal Funny we always show the picture of Doyle when the key goal was Asaba scoring against Watford.

Yep, we could have lost that day and it would still have been the day we were promoted

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Then the guy providing the money turned the tap off. ^ the key point, it wasn't Talal with the money. Circumstances changed. We've spoken extensively with Wigan's Supporters' Trust who are very sympathetic about him and what happened - he also engaged them closely to try to do right by them in term...

Re: Have your go at being ITK

According to my sources, we don't need to worry about a thing because every little thing is going to be alright. Exclusivity will be announced in the near future and apparently the new owners are rich and from somewhere overseas. All our financial worries will be over and we will be able to issue n...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Those small changes only swing it to about £160m lost in 6 years, from £190m. Not enough to prevent the mess, just delay it HTH. (But notwithstanding, we'd be much further from relegation if we had an extra £30m to pay wages and the taxman with right now) We wouldn't though because it wasn't real m...

Re: Have your go at being ITK

The 2 most important things with ITKing are: 1. be a bit vague so as to try and claim something fairly unrelated announced in the future is exactly what you were talking about 2. Give yourself a small get out that you can point back to in case your guesswork is proven to be wildly out Example: 'I a...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

You just have to hope his rational self interest wins the day in the end. He gets nothing from the club if he doesn't sell. He's tried asset stripping and selling the training ground and it has failed. As difficult as he seems intent to make it, it really is in his best interests to sell. Agree wit...

Events off the pitch will be be what they'll be. Just need as to get as many points on the table as possible from the remaining games. Remaining a League One club for next season is all that matters. That's a huge unwanted pressure on the players and the footballing staff . LOL Our league position ...

The EFL 2 years' funding requirement which I only learnt through Howe's interview makes me feel better that we'll have a couple of years stability at least. Plus the soft transfer embargo stops them spunking it all up the wall on vanity signings. I'm afraid there's no way I believe that EVERY FL cl...

Interesting read on Greg Halford and his autism diagnosis. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68617366 His Premier League break came at Reading, becoming their record signing in January 2007. However, a first transfer was always going to be tricky. "It was the first move to Reading where I'd...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If you speak to Wigan fans, Al Hammad started well there. Spoke about investing in youth, won promotion, appointed Maloney. Then the guy providing the money turned the tap off. Obviously he shares the blame, he agreed to front their operation and made himself chairman. But it doesn't guarantee he'l...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

So losing half of your income wouldn't leave you feeling a bit stressed GWL? Keeping in mind that the 28 year old footballer probably has 4 or 5 years left of earning well before their career ends.

Re: VAR

Just read the transcript of the conversion related to the Doku/Mac Allister penalty incident. Now I’m completely sure that the VAR team are incompetent. To say that they “both went in high” is so far away from the reality that we can all see, that the officials should never officiate in any capacity...

Who knows if the rumors about the Vikings owners are true? For what it is worth, what we do know is that in the NFL Players Association's official report card, the Vikings players give them very high grades (2nd out of 32 NFL teams). https://nflpa.com/minnesota-vikings-report-card-2024 And they wer...
