Confirmed now. It gives us a clearer picture of the scale of rebuild required and in some ways the ambition of the club going into the summer.
Collins and Sibley in talks over new deals. Barkhuizen and Forsyth activated additional years through performance related clauses. Thompson has had the...
Although not confirmed yet: A lot of talk around the club is that Warne has been ruthless with players out of contract and subsequently Wildsmith, who won the golden glove last season, has been allowed to leave. It also sounds like Vickers (back-up) is going too - assume back to Rotherham where...
Oh aye, because the 27 goals in 129 Championship games and consistently on the physio’s table makes him such a high commodity that he’s beyond our reach. It’s a Mel Morris era signing and one I hope we avoid.
We’ve not been linked to too many players so far: Josh Windass, Herbie Kane, Viktor Johansson, Thierry Small, Jamal Lowe & Bosun Lawal.
Depending on who we keep on who is out of contract we could be looking at upwards 16-18 players through the door this summer so expect it to be very busy once...
I hate the term 'over-celebrating' there's enough fucking football played where you're not celebrating, presumably miserable if you're at this level, so the opportunities where you get a break from all that - you absolutely should celebrate.
Well done, Bolton. I backed them to go up from off...
I wasn't saying we were hard done by, either, ultimately just pointing out that we absolutely haven't 'spent our way to the title' - last season we were one of three clubs in the League that didn't spend any money on incoming transfers and we raised the 3rd most from outgoing transfers in the...
Spend our way to the title? We’ve spent next to nothing due to EFL restrictions and the majority of our wage bill is spent in the infrastructure of our academy rather than first team. £300k on Blackett Taylor is the height of our spending. In the same time we’ve sold £3-4m worth of players.
We...
I know a draw wasn’t ideal for Bolton, but they didn’t lose and have two straight forward home games now, where as much as I would like them to, I can’t see them dropping points. I’ve heavily backed a Bolton double at 1.90 on b365 because I find that ridiculous value for Shrewsbury/Port Vale at...
There is a deal already agreed at the end of the loan - it was a workaround with our business plan with the EFL as to why we processed it as a loan.
He's been injured for the most part, played well in games up to the Wycombe game, but had a honking night on Wednesday which probably was no in...
Same happy with a point - stings a little when both Portsmouth goals should've been ruled out but tight decisions so won't moan too much. Portsmouth were well worth the point. Interesting that both games have played out a similar way with Portsmouth dominating possession, but needing to come...
Assuming that’s discounted for consecutive years?
I had a look as I gave my season ticket up after my wife gave birth, it’s £400 behind the goal, £4… something in the corners and £537 in the east and west stand.
I fully expect Blackpool to get all three points, the game against yourselves is a dead rubber. I’m hopeful of a draw against Wycombe and that we can do enough against Leyton Orient, Cambridge and Carlisle to keep us in the fight but I’ve very little confidence.
Mendez-Laing sounds like he’s done for the season now too. I just feel we’ve run our race and the next three games will probably show that - I predict one to four points out the next nine. It will be too late after that.
A £23m wage bill would probably still have you in the bottom 6-8 clubs in the championship, as it’s an overall wage bill too, first team player wages will probably sit at roughly £13-15m which is a drop in the ocean considering other teams at the same level are around £40m plus.
Wigan’s wages...
We’ve had a relatively large increase on season tickets, cheapest £400 - although the majority of them are already sold or accounted for.
The majority are £537 for an adult ticket.
Hard to find the words, honestly. I know deep down that our season ended today, despite the games left to play.
I just really hope that Warne isn’t in charge next season.
At the fans forum last night, it sounds as though we are going to rolling out the changes regardless of whether we are promoted or not. When asked if any of the players who are out of contract would be offered new deals before the end of the season, Warne answered no.
Louie Sibley, Joe...
Really happy to be able play this game and allow us avoid any undue fixture congestion. As others have alluded to, it was really only Mendez-Laing who was a concern and he was able to politely decline the call-up to ensure this game was on.
We do seem to have a crazy amount of injuries built...
