cambridgeshire canary 6,715 Posted November 29, 2022 Is now manager of Wigan. Why aren't we Wigan? Seriously though feel like this is one to keep an eye on as this is either going to be a success or an awful, awful failure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I get why it has to end in one extreme or the other. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,227 Posted November 29, 2022 Depends how you define success. Given Wigan are 3rd from bottom I doubt they are going to make a sudden push for promotion. However, avoiding relegation would probably be termed success, and rightly so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying CC is racist but black former pros going into coaching do get talked about like that more than white former pros going into coaching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bradwell canary 109 Posted December 4, 2022 Hope he does not get too upset if no one gets him a birthday cake, like they did at Man City. Or was that his brother? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Pete 1,893 Posted January 26, 2023 Maybe he took inspiration from Dean Smith and asked the players to sort things out on the pitch for themselves. Then just sit back and enjoy your cup of tea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted January 27, 2023 I dont think the Wigan fans were cheering enough. Or maybe the Conductor started them off in the wrong key , or didn't explain to the players whether they were playing classical or Jazz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
