Made in Wigan
Vital Champions League
This should be pinned up on the walls of Euxton. It's an embarrassment.
Why was Cook going on about strengthening last night?It's obvious we needed strengthening from the moment we went up but instead we spunked a load of cash up the wall on shite. Or was it a dig at Royle?
In the summer it was a million on a kid from Peterborough who's struggling at Gillingham. A 3 year deal given to a league two quality winger to then use him at left back. A piss head has been signed for the midfield. An unfit injury prone winger.
Then in the winter we flogged our best striker and replaced him with a previously failed immobile cart horse. A kid from Everton who's only been seen once in the hoof off at the New York stadium. A nigh on 40 year old centre half brought back to the country. An injury prone winger who hadn't played the 12 months from Cardiff.
if thats true thats shamefullDirect quotes from Cook in WEP about our away form "Not much is going to change in the last three away games, that’s for sure.”
“We can’t turn nothing round now,”
Surely as a manager at no point do you accept that there is nothing you can do to try and improve things or effectively write off the upcoming games?! You expect them to be defiant saying we'll fight to the death not just give up on 9 of the remaining 15 points. He wont critasise a bad performance but is saying the players arent good enough and he doesnt think we can get an away result - he's lost the plot - i imagine he'll have a punch up at the pre match presser after the journalists asks him how he is.
It has echos of Roslers effective resignation speach.
if thats true thats shamefull
See the link. We've legitimately got posters on here who have more faith in us than the manager himself! The manager is the one person who cant afford to give up - how can you inspire your players to deliver a shock result when you are effectively admitting defeat before a ball is even kicked? If he doesnt believe he can do anything but hope he's got to go. Pathetic leadership.

I concede, they seem very strange. Can't even apply any context to them. Is he really that defeatist? Surely not.
Agreed....looks like a melody of LLLLLLLLS dont fancy us stopping up, I can see Rotherham getting a result at stoke and we lose to Norwich .....This should be pinned up on the walls of Euxton. It's an embarrassment.
Don't think it's a lack of belief, it's just a pubic kick up the arse for our players. Cut out the silly mistakes and play the way I know you can, or I'll have to make some changes as you've shown me you haven't got the bottle for this league.Millwall manager vs Cook direct quote comparison
Harris:
'if it takes until the 90th minute at Wigan then that’s what it has to be. We’ll battle every minute for the remaining part of the season. When we get safe is down to how we perform and play in the coming weeks. We want to be safe as soon as possible, but if it takes until then, then it takes until then.”
Cook:
“hopefully the falling short won’t stop us staying in this league, and then the challenges ahead this summer will be big and strong. We might stay up by the skin of our teeth, and then it becomes a big summer for Wigan Athletic.”
It's shocking the utter lack of fight or belief in us.
