  1. So therefore they shouldnt have the sponsorship renewed for the 3rd year and Latics should find a new sponsor to take over the agreement, as surely not paying the sponsorship is breach of the contract.
  2. Exactly how can Hillstones and Horners going into admin make us short of cash, as surely the full sponsorship must have been paid up front, otherwise the club should find new sponsors to raise cash. Or is it just the clubs idea to make us, the fans have to fork out more money claiming they are losing the money. I think its the latter and to be honest i think on the gate tickets may well go up as a result. On another note, our new "Lookers" isn't going to be built for god knows how long as the club more than likely wont sell the flats to fund the new stand, and I feel well be paying extra on the door, to sit in a stadium the similar to Blackpools, except Blackpools probably looks newer.
  3. I completely support this idea but it aint a big enough tribute for one game to be in his name, he deserves more and should have a stand named after him or his number 4 retired in memory. Possibly with Hillstones going bump get his name on the front of the shirt.
  4. With the Lookers being gone and a big open space, does anyone thnk its silly weve paid for season tickets when we can watch it free, and we have no stewards telling us to sit down. It would be like sitting on the bridge at Blackpool only warmer (sometimes). I bet theres a few who try it.
  5. Blasphemous. Few More: Wes Wilkinson Matty Appleby (permanent, and to think he made captain) Rob Scott and I dont believe anyone has mentioned the Rob Lee shambles saga. In Prem terms surely Shevchenko is the biggest waste of money 30mill for about 6 goals.
  6. Haha just watched it. First clip is class anyone here the dodgy breathing, and also anyone think its like a homemade Blair Witch style Jurassic Park? Also the JCB is picking up pieces as if its getting its hands dirty, seems theyre all like that, I wouldnt care if they came wielding them pick axes at me theyd probably give up halfway through. Seems Latics obviously went for cheap and cheerful

  9. Youd be asking for more than that though. Thats obviously paper talk. The amount of money and time it has taken for his signature and the fact he should still be in Prem if it werent for the unfortunate. I wouldnt sell for less than a mill. If Dean Windass and Lee Trundle are rated that highly, Scott Spencer went for 200k and strikers always demand a bigger fee then 100k is pathetically researched
  10. Youll realise that on the old site he used to get loads of abuse and used to create loads of banter due to it, which tended to be in very good humour although occasionaly he did make people jump down his throat. Thus meaning a pun on my behalf. Never mind. Not exactly the thread to be being bitchy really is it. Get well soon
  11. If its the same one as used to be on the official then he was an arse, but it in no way means him bad ways, so whatever is up with his happenings then I wish him all the best.
  12. I bet smalley starts right wing taylor left, if not o grady left taylor right n kieran lee will be centre with allott. Id still love to see taylor played centre
  13. First of all Id like to say I think the young players are brilliant signings and can only improve thus giving us a real chance of achieving something in the next few years. But by buying players which will develop in the future is Sheridan risking his job. People have already been on record saying they expect promotion this year as Sheridan will have had 3 years and a completely new squad which he will have put together himself. Therefore with the young players coming in, and taking parts of the budget (transfers and wages) then will Sheridan have a strong enough team to challenge this year. Should the team take time to gel like recent seasons, then we could well be looking at another mediocre mid table finish. Hopefully I will be proved wrong, but I do feel Sheridan is taking a gamble on his future by signing unproven youngsters, who are tipped to be future stars. Unfortunately if they dont produce straight away and come christmas were lingering in the bottom half, a lot of questions will be asked. I hope everything goes well as I can see a great long future for Sheridan but his job is based on results, and unfortunately it could potentially backfire.
  14. If Drogba wasnt so silly John Terry would never have taken a penalty. Shame Terry didnt feel that bad when England failed to qualify
  15. Ive got a very fond spot for Pompey also. Just the atmosphere and their rise from being a bobbins team to where they are now. i also love Harry Redknapp, most down to earth manager in Prem League. Also always look for Stockport results as I know a few Stockport lads and they occasionaly come down here and support us and we go down there occasionaly.
  16. This is the £300k+ we lost in revenue from tickets being sold. Possibly due to the fact nearly evry home game we played was boring. If I hadnt purchased a season ticket I sure wouldnt have paid £20 to get in. Also how about the 500k we got from Trotman, Im sure that nestled nicely in their pockets, and more than made up for the revenue they lost due to the fact they sold by far our best player meaning we werent ever going to pose a serious promotion threat, thus leading to bad gate falls. Thats a pathetic statement and epitomises that they truly are only in it for a nice profit from the stadium. Its pathetic that people stick up for them, saying they love the club. No my friends if you pulled the wool a little aside from your eyes, youll see theyre only in it for the money. If you want higher crowds, get us the right money for a SERIOUS PROMOTION CHARGE, not many fans will be tempted by " This year our aim is to make the playoffs." Yet again. Although saying that promotion would mean higher wages for even better players, and that means they would have to shell out more money, so somehow I dont think theyll be too arsed to see us sit in this division, tick over nicely, until the stadium is built, flats are sold and Micah Richards 4-5million sell on fee comes in a nice big cheque through the post.
  17. Its pathetic that people think so little of their country. Happy St Georges Day, the English celebration day. Do the irish really celebrate St Patricks for Patrick, I think not. More to do with the pride they show in being Irish. therefore I am 100% english and will wish everyone a happy St Georges Day, have one for your country
  18. I was always under the impression that Rome was Italys capital, unless Milan have moved stadiums and got their own instead of sharing. Sorry
  19. I think so yes, besides Shez and T. Wright were youth team, Philliskirk reserves and I have a memory blank as to who was Dowies assistant.
  20. After thinking about consistency and determination to win the only time I can remember this sort of happenings behind the scene was when Dowie was here and John Harbin was the sort of "fitness" coach. All the slogans and will to win was always seen in the games. Maybe this had something to do with our achievement of reaching the playoffs and looking like a solid team that year. I think with Shezs comments recently about not being mentally strong enough if someone could be brought in to take over that role for us now. It cant do any wrong and on past achievements seemed to work. The key to this league is consistency and if players are consistently motivated and have a consistent desire to win then theirs no reason we cant do what Carlisle have done this year and what Scunthorpe and Colchester have done in recent seasons. The team we had under Dowie wasnt a lot better than what we have now and their is also a hell of a lot of potential in this squad. If we got the young players enjoying fotball instead of being moaned at each week then we could be in with a big shout next year.
  21. On that basis Im gonna end up becoming one of the worlds best strikers ,cant wait. And to be honest I have always had problems with my hamstrings aswell. Anyone want an autograph now???
