I never inflicted third division football on myself willingly Stephen so sadly I can't give you a detailed resume of how Wigan played. In the link I posted Cook does explain it to a degree. You can only assume given the failure of Grigg here that we didn't have the players or style of play to seamlessly accommodate him in our team.

I'm certainly not making excuses for Ross marra and agree that no thought went into his signing other than looking at his record. I've said before that Wigan had Nick Powell in the side with Grigg and Cook stopped playing him when he got injured last season. As for recruitment Coton should take some responsibility. However when has no scouts watching games and the owner openly admits that he doesn't believe in looking at player statistics, he's working with one arm tied behind his back.

Let's hope the delay to the takeover is because the potential new owners are dumbfounded by the lack of a proper recruitment strategy and have been busy sourcing one to announce on the day :lol:

:lol: He has a points per game record which is among the best at safc in the last 40 years.

I’m not bothered if he stays or goes but it just repeats the pattern we have witnessed.

The next one comes in and the same things will happen. No matter who is in charge our playing staff is league one standard, however they are honest pros giving their best.

If thats the way you want to spin it, we finished in the lowest position in our history under jack ross

Statistically the average mental age of a sun reader was at one point was 9 years old. ;)

Not quite true. The reading age of newspapers isn't an measure of the actual reading age of readers but the level of English language used in the articles written in the newspaper. 36% of Sun readers are from the ABC1 socioeconomic group and I doubt any of those have a readership age of under 10 and remember, over 60% of 16 yr olds achieve at least 5 A*- C GCSEs (or equivalent) grades including English and mathematics.

The Sun's reading age (March 2015) is between 7 and 9 (see the article below with link given to original article at mediafirst.co.uk)

Love or it loathe it, this is still one of the most influential newspapers in Britain. Over 5million of us read it every day, including nearly 2million in the ABC1 socioeconomic group – so don’t assume that all Sun readers are chavs! Its website has over a million unique visitors every day and 843,000 of those will be viewing in on a mobile device – one of the highest. The reading age (in other words the age at which someone should be able to read it) is between seven and nine.

I think we’ll be looking at a serious period of stagnation, turgid football and hopelessness not experienced since Crosby, Butcher and Buxton days. There’s no new stadium on the horizon this time and the finances involved in the game means it’d be far more difficult for us to be promoted back to the top flight than it was back in the early to mid 90s.

Crosby to Reid was only about 5 seasons? I agree that it was a bit poo but in hindsight it wasn’t too long really.
