The team may be a little unbalanced but it would be my favourite.
He has turned down the chance to talk to Aston Villa and will 'honour his commitment to Wigan' instead.
So, an honourable man doing what he feels is right or simply a slap in the face for Aston Villa?
If they cannot poach someone from Wigan what will they do now!?
I think that significant occurances such as an established club's relegation from the premiership can never be solely defined by one choice alone.
Considering as well that this was all happened well over seven years ago your ongoing fixation on Glenn Hoddle not returning amuses me greatly.
It is good to be in the ascendancy with these things, but simply outspending teams does feel a bit distasteful. Especially after our hatred of the Skates for similar tactics.
I have had the pleasure of a work tripto Lincolnshire today which includes a lunch stop in Lincoln. It has struck me that the City of Lincoln, with an immediate district population if a quarter of a million people has just seen it's football club relegated to the conference.
For a city of it's size it's astonishing that it's football club couldn't sustain league football. It terms of catchment area/performance is this on of the biggest underachievers in the Country!?
Although, as pointed out by Matt Le God earlier in this thread, the 'Temporary' buildings that are to be in place to keep the place running while the new facilities are built, are up.
This more then implies that work is underway.
