    Games Behind Closed Doors.

    How soon do you think the COVID19 virus will affect games in the UK? We should be ok to play in front of fans at the DW because according to swathes of the mainstream media we play in an empty stadium anyway. Do any of you think competitions will just be wrapped up as they stand? This is...

    Cook & the multiples of 12

    Based on the past 4 games and the 7 points achieved. (12 points available for 4 games) Cook's comments and opinion about yielding 7 or 8 for every 12 available will see us safe. I've snatched some screenshots from soccerstats. So will post them here. We are currently in our richest vein of...

    Championship Bubble Bursting

    I don't know if any of you have seen this article on the Beeb. David Sharpe features in a lot of it. Thoughts? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50674331

    Match Fixing

    I reckon there'll be a few people within the EFL hierarchy sitting up and taking notice of IEC owned Wigan Athletic right now. 18 points thrown away from winning positions with most thrown away in the last few minutes of matches. It's quite a lot for it to just be coincidence. Stranger things...

    How Many Houses

    Could be built on the DW Stadium land? How much is it worth? As we saw with Bury, could there be a deliberate plan to run the club into the ground and to asset strip it? (conservatism, capitalism and corporatism all follow this model) Genuine questions.

    Derby away predictions

    How do you think we'll get on? My heart is going for a third away win in 30 and we might just sneak it 2-1 based on our current momentum. My head says that when the opposition are desperate for a win we usually capitulate, especially when there's pressure, and extra especially when there's...

    Bury, Dale and Disaster Capitalism.

    Questions: How much did Bury owe? I've heard it's about 3m. Correct me if I'm wrong. How much did Dale pay for the club? I've heard it was £1. Again, correct me if I'm wrong. How much is the Gigg Lane land worth? Whelan got about £3m from the sale of Springfield Park and associated lands. (As...

    4 defeats in a row

    Next up is QPR away, a notoriously difficult place for us to play at. Then Barnsley who still have a little momentum from promotion. Win these and Cook keeps his job. Lose them and it puts him on a sticky wicket. I recall Bobby losing 8 or 9 in a row and keeping his job because he kept us...

    Season 19/20 Our Final Position Prediction.s

    I reckon we'll finish 8th. Now that we've got quite a few targets and with the loan market still to exploit, I think we can make a reasonable computation as to where we'll finish Make your bold prediction. Then we can dig this up around about early May and say: "Take that egg off your face."...

    Safe now, so what next?

    Play some of the wonder kids we seem to have for the remaining fixtures, league integrity permitting? Push on and continue our relatively mid table form and aim for the highest finish possible? New contract offers for those worthy who will be out of contract? Sweep out the deadwood? Give...

    Marquee Sale.

    We usually have one when we've been successful. Never a marquee buy. Who do you think it'll be before the August window bangs shut? For many of our premier league years it was our player of the season. Go!

    100 points still on.

    Barring a disaster against Wimbledon we'll be on 97 with a chance to be the Wigan Athletic record breakers. We'll equal our record points haul with a win against the (real) dons but we'll have a better goals for against and difference. Which to me makes us record breakers. UTFT

    It's now 11:09 and we haven't lost anyone. So far. I know that transfer news can happen slightly after the deadline. We've signed a couple. Happy days?
