Alberto2005 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Wigan fans are mongs if the ones interviewed on SSN are anything to go by, they actually want Souness. I can't believe all their fans on SSN's actually want Souness as their manager. Really unbelievable, they all seem to be ginger as well. I think they should just stick to that good version of Rugby where skill is involved not just kicking and beating the living shit out of people. Spot on.

Guest optimistic nit Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 football has changed though. i'm not convinced it would work nowadays, and thats because you don't see many assistants with the ability to manage. i think atm promoting a coach is seen as a cheap option that requires less hassle than actually appointing him on his ability. look at hutchins' record, 3 premiership wins i think it was, with 2 clubs. i just don't think he's that good a manager. assistants are hired by managers not for their tactical nouse but for their ability in other areas that won't neccicarially make them a good manager. is it henk ten carte at barca? whoever it is he's supposed to be pretty good, but you look at hutchings and the bolton one (i cant honestly remember his name) and they just seem out of their depth. Carlos Quirentoz seems to be being groomed as the next manu manager, and i think that will probably work. i think whatever gartside and whelan are saying (mainly gartside) i reckon both managers were hired to continue the work of their predecessor, but neither have been able to.

Karjala Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 If Wigan get a decent manager, they'll stay up. Get Souness and they are down. I was looking at the league table and thinking "scum and boro will both go down" as i reckon Spurs, Bolton, Wigan will all get out, now i wouldnt be so sure if souness ends up there.

indi Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 From the MEN: Wigan search goes on Neil Barker 13/11/2007 WIGAN could turn to Graeme Souness or ex-Luton manager Mike Newell as their manager search continues to be frustrated. Former boss Paul Jewell was approached by club owner Dave Whelan over the vacancy but, after a short period to consider his options, has decided against rejoining the club he guided to the top flight Latics chairman Whelan has told board members he wants a tough disciplinarian to succeed Chris Hutchings and Souness fits the bill. Ex-Latics player Newell, who blew the whistle on corruption in football while boss at Luton, is also a strong candidate. Ex-City manager Joe Royle has declared his interest in the post but is now an outsider among a list of names linked with the job, including Kenny Dalglish and Alan Shearer. A final decision as to who does take charge will be made by Whelan, who is on a working holiday in Barbados.
