While i appreciate his need to be carefull i am starting to get very concerned with IL's attitude towards paying players, it seems we have missed out on or are destined to miss out on all the "top" players that are on the market.

You're 100% correct. Given our fanbase unless the stadium company is taking a massive chunk of ticket revenue ( ) this should not be an issue. Let's hope IL was saying this as part of a clever ploy to keep attendances high... otherwise it could be read as an admission that a large percentage of ticket revenue is being taken by the stadium company (since they aren't, according to IL, charging a high rent).

We are second best when it comes to the stadium usage. We can't do anything about it.
If we have a game scheduled for a Friday night with all corporate seating and boxes sold and then Latics get an FA cup draw for the Saturday, we will have to move our game. He was quite matter of fact about this and up front.

Rugby Union: When entertainment just isn't your thing.
Noble basically said that they reason our style of play isn't as exciting was partly down to the squad we have and due to the enormous importance of field position and territory in the modern game, said they are working on finetuning skills to allow them to be more expansive in situations they weren't last year.
Also Paul from Pem was funny.
"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.

In which case, the sooner Latics get relegated and DW loses interest in them, the better.
