It's irrelevant anyway as the rest of them should have manned up and got us out of the hole. If a player misbehaves, I don't care if he's Leo Messi - there are consequences. Otherwise, anarchy rules.

bluehobbit Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I like some of Gardeners quality but he's not very consistent. He's a league 2 player like most of this side have been this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one saving grace with wellens, is he will hold AL’s feet to fire regarding another influx of French lads, I think he genuinely gives a shit about the club. Which is a good thing. But. We want a football manager as well, preferably one who wins more than he loses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsy Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 We need to give him a good assistant manager now then I’d make it a priority get the management team sorted ASAP that includes a new head of youth if TP is going to be finished 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, Saturday was a real let down for me, I honestly thought the club would scrape out of relegation but it wasn't to be. I am not the young man I used to be, who lived and breathed for football at the weekends and all it brought with it...I am more pragmatic now and as disappointed as I am, I don't feel the gut-wrench I would have once experienced and did experience from the two relegations previous to this one. It's each to their own and I fully understand how miserable a lot of fans will feel, especially the younger end who have never been through this with their club and who desperately wanted to witness the joy of promotion as those with longer associations will have done. I can only say that relegation changes nothing for me, I will still support and enjoy the moments when they come our way. Life in League Two will not be a cakewalk although I am not in the frame of mind that Latics will experience the downward spiral some on this board are predicting...and those people have every right to express their own valid concerns. If Wellens is staying, as his interview would suggest, I am happy with that. The terrible merry-go-round of managers in recent club history has been farcical and I hope that Lemsagam will have the nerve to hold steady and support the manager in the hope that stability will prevail and get the club back up the league ladder. Come the new season, we go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 What are we discussing with Benteke he couldnt get into this team is that not telling us something? Surprised we have offered mclaughlin a deal doubt he will take it. Glad the option has been taken on Dummigan slightly surprised with Fane wouldnt be surprised if they both moved on though.

Im bit concerned if hes the future. Why? He hasn't exactly played that much. Plenty of players knock around lower down till they're older. He was brought in to see if he had enough potential then they'd make a decision. He's obviously shown enough to get a deal. If he's shit then he's shit but FFS we've now got a player being judged on 5 minutes for the 1st team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I've not been watching Latics since 1895, rubbed shoulders with Cloughie, made a lot of money through work or had a great football career but am pretty good at knowing if I like somebody after speaking with them for about 5 minutes. Unfortunately I need to see someone play/work for a lot longer than that to assess their ability, unlike some of the posters on here.

Im judging him on the basis that he couldnt get into this team and his career record to date which is crap. Our record with the #frenchlads has hardly been a sucess either has it. Now if he proves to be a wonderful success I will happily come on here and admit I was wrong but You do realise people at our football club get things wrong dont you?

Yes of course they get things wrong but at least their judgement is based (in this case) on seeing a player day in day out in training and in reserve games. He was never brought in to feature this season (see Wellen's interviews) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
