Managerial Changes 2014/15

[bexleybee]

Yeah must have worked hard cos DW hardly mentions that

 

[fencer/bee]

Malky Mackay appointed at Wigan

Yep and Rumour is Malky Mackay doens't want coach Eric Black to stay at Wigan due to his surname

 

[GP200]

...........yep............will he sign Ched Evans??????.........

 

[kevalutonbee]

Clause in the contract that says if FA find him guilty Wigan reserve the right to fire him

 

[BoroBee]

This appointment probably says more about Whelan as a person than anything else

Whelan said that Mackay was "exactly the sort of person we were looking for" - I'd weep if I were a Wigan supporter; well that certainly tells us where your moral compass is.
Expect a contract offer to Ched Evans soon...

 

[Stanley]

In many ways I can understand why Whelan has appointed him and it may well be that the FA do not bring any charges ( after 10 months if they had something substantial they would have surely) mainly because, if I recall, that he was the recipient of most of the offending texts and emails rather than the instigator. But for Whelan to dismiss his indiscretions as "minor" and in effect not that important is almost as bad as MM himself, at least MM has admitted he was wrong and needs to change.

MM's problems will most likely come when he tries to sign certain players who may think twice about working for him. Interestingly the current squad is not particularly diverse....

 

[PJ]

In some respects Makay is lucky that the "textgate" affair became public knowledge as it has completely overshadowed the far more serious allegations of dodgy transfer dealings. far more easier to justify to potential chairmen that the texts were a private mistake that became public. Whereas explaining away effectively stealing from the club would be much more difficult imo.

without knowing much about it , would expect the D0F guy more likely to be involved in the finer details of the transfers. But who knows?

One of Wigan Athletic's shirt sponsors ends its agreement with the club following the appointment of new manager Malky Mackay.. great work Whelan you ****ing **** lol

..........it's all looking good so far then............

 

[tolcarne]

Whelan now given an interview which unbelievably outdoes Mackay in being anti Semitic ..even more unbelievable he doesn't mention the broken leg..seems a long time ago when people liked them when Martinez won thecup

 

[thanetbee]

it is a strange interview, maybe should hire some PR?

[The Pipe]

You couldn't make this stuff up, Whelan has really shown himself up as an ignorant bigot, and also a fool for making the comments publicly

Think this story has a way to run yet

 

[Indian Bee]

unbelievable …

 

[Downbeat Bee]

Stands at about Brentford 10 Wigan 0 in terms of relative fortunes so far

 

[Holysmit]

The more I hear from Whelan the more I think that senility is starting to affect him in a massive way. I can't believe someone who has made so much money and up until recently was had one of the most likeable perceptions amongst Football owners could be so stupid!

 

[GP200]

unbelievable …

.............yep.............he just keeps digging..............

 

[GlasgowBee]

Just read the article... (speechless)

 

[sonofabee]

I think he has over stepped the mark this time, reckon he'll find himself the subject of a Press witch hunt now dishing all they can. Tough sh*t you buffoon.

 

[GlasgowBee]

He makes Ratner look like a PR Guru

 

[hanworthbee]

obviously none of us have ever done a mackay when texting a mate, fwd a joke etc

 

[Gee Bee]

obviously none of us have ever done a mackay when texting a mate, fwd a joke etc

He wasn't just texting a mate, he was texting another director at the club and was referring to his employers and other emloyees who he answered to or whom he managed.

 

[hanworthbee]

maybe they were mates and his so called mate has ratted him out

 

[Low End Bee]

Yep. Just the job for Max Clifford. Oh hang on...

 

[Humblebee]

Wigan - big club, big mistake.

 

[AB]

I don't have a big problem with Mackay being appointed, he's a decent manager and has both paid a price for his dodgy texts and IIRC apologised for them. On the other hand, Whelan seems to think Mackay did nothing wrong and that actually he agrees with the stuff he said.

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Uwe having had to spend nearly a year working for him!

Maybe the guy who broke his leg was Jewish?

 

[GlasgowBee]

And obviously none of us are high profile football managers in the glare of the public spot light and judge our potential employees by the colour of their skin

I think it just highlighted a chink in DWs amour

 

[Judio1999]

Mark Yates has just left Cheltenham Town

 

[super J]

Mark Yates has just left Cheltenham Town

Wow wasn't he 3rd longest serving in the football league?

 

[Bill Benn]

Mark Yates has just left Cheltenham Town

Shame was doing a good job Untill recent bad run without a pot to piss in.i can't see them attracting better and wouldn't be surprised if they get relegated now.

 

[Judio1999]

They have a Plan

Odds On Favourite

[TW3Bee]

Is 19 a mis print ?

He's been there longer than that surely?

 

[tobymaxtonesmith]

He's been there longer than that surely?

No - had a spell at Barnsley and was sacked before they got David Flitcroft and stayed up. That was in between his two Rochdale spells

 

[Mr Tree]

come on toby, we're not falling for that

 

[wibs]

If you said to a million football fans, "Brentford fans have an in joke on their official fans forum, can you guess what it is"? It would be a hell of a person who guessed it correctly!

I've always wondered what does "official" or "unofficial" mean. Do they have legal status?
