He hasn't "turned us down", we haven't even spoken to him, let alone offered him the job.

Of course he turned you down, you made an official approach and he decided to stay at Wigan.
He said he wanted to stick to his commitment to Wigan and didn't want to speak to us. Who knows if he'd even have been offered the job?
I think you're clutching at straws on this one.
You wanted to speak to him about the managers job and he made it clear he wasn't interested.
I know.
We wrote to Wigan ten days ago for permission. Who knows how many other people we're talking to? You make it sound like we offered him the job, when we didn't.
He wants to stay at Wigan, fair play to him. To be honest, it's a bullet dodged in any case, as he should never even have been under consideration.
What a pathetich lie this is what I hate about football. How some fans can be blind. Yes you wanted him yes you offered him the job admit it! If what you said was right you could have said it yesterday or even earlier. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
