New / Next Manager Feb 2022

I'd have been happy with a quick acknowledgement today and all the video stuff etc on Sunday or Monday.

 

It's done to those that easily give up, there is nothing to say Wigan won't have a really bad run, only takes 2 or 3 wins to change the way it looks. Certainly won't be easy, but it's not done

 

There's meant to be an announcement at 6pm according posters over the road.

 

there say that everyday it a running joke over there

 

You'd have to assume that's Keane done with management if he's chosen to stay as a pundit. No-one in the PL, Championship or SPL is interested in him. Feels like we were his last chance

 

Agreed

 

There's been supposed to be an announcement on the hour, every hour for the last week

 

Wigan may lose a few but we won’t win enough games to make it possible.

 

Same. I almost fell out with a couple of good mates in this last 2 weeks when I was insisting Keane was coming and Speakmann was talking ****e about these "2nd interviews"

Not saying the ITKs were wrong because they pass on the info they get, but think we all need to take things with a pinch of salt because often this intel doesn't mean it's actually happening

The whole "the deal is done" thing is weird though because I heard it from multiple sources on here and elsewhere. Maybe people were just over confident about a verbal agreement. Bit like that time I got an "agreement in principle" on my 1st mortgage only for those ****s to then turn me down

 

Pretty much this

 

I get it’s still possible but people need to be realistic. Finishing 3rd and finding some form before the play-offs is our aim now.

 

Yep. And it could be that the sources are the ones being overly confident rather than the itks. Hard to say.

But yes, lesson needs to be to take a collective deep breath I guess..... hard when there's so much emotion involved though.

 

Montserrat isn’t singing yet

 

100%. Been saying that since the Bolton defeat. Forget the top 2, we have to now do what we've failed to do in the last 5 seasons and finish strongly. If we find some form then we will be the team to fear in the play offs

 

somebody mentioned SISgrass...

"The machine can stitch a full-size hybrid football pitch in just 7 days using electricity, a huge step forward in reducing the environmental footprint of each pitch installation."

only 7 days for a prepared pitch, rather different to the 5 weeks mentioned a few weeks ago, let's hope it works.

 

Oh aye, the magic 6.00pm announcement.

 

Aye, I read the 7 day thing and I posted the video about palace's pitch taking 5 weeks. If it's only going to take 7days I wonder why we have waited so long to do it. Seems strange.

 

If that is what we are doing then fantastic. Another positive step in giving the team the best chance.

 

Could be the company didn't have the time until now.

a little bit about AN from a players view...
