    Shambolicto say the least

    So Hecky spends all his time developing a player who then benefits and Wigan but we don't. He must feel like we do, fed up to the back teeth. I think by the time Conor is sold for peanuts we will all be past caring...I wish!

    We're not going to spend money if we don't think it's worth it. If Morsy was asking for £10k a week there's no way we would pay that. I'm sure we could afford it, but it wouldn't be worth it

    Listening to Hecky's interview, it was pretty clear we could forget Morsy. More worryingly he looks and sounds totally pxxxxd off at the current situation. It looks to me like he is running the club on his own and deserves a medal the size of a dustbin lid for coping with all the events of the past 2/3 months and producing a Sid capable of competing at the top end of the Championship. He appears to receiving minimal support. He has been been banging on about the shortage of coaching staff for months now and nothing happens. He rightly expected Linton Brown to close the deal on Morsy and he failed miserably. We are now faced with the prospect of paying more in a transfer fee to replace Morsy than we would have had to pay in wages for him. Why isn't the board, albeit in Patrick's absence, working this stuff out. Despite being an eternal optimist, I fear this window is going to prove to be one of continual bad news and very little to lift spirits.

    Well it's simple. We need to do what we didn't do that January... replace them sufficiently!

    Given a chance? Every CEO has to get their first job. Dunno, speculating. Biggest pointers for me was from Hecky today "if that was my full time job, I would have sorted it". Paraphrasing like, but you get the gist

    Yet another example of what can happen when using the loan system. It's served us well in recent times - it's arguable that the loan system got us out of League One last season - but there's always the risk of this kind of thing happening.

    Or maybe it would, if that's the going rate. As I posted the other day, if that's roughly the amount of money on the market for players who can compete at the top of the Championship then maybe we just have to accept that we can't afford those sorts of players.

    If the rumours are true of what he's supposedly on at Wigan then its madness, there is no way we can start paying 5 figure wages, if we give one player 10k plus then the rest of the squad would be knocking on Heckys door wanting a pay rise on top of that any potential signing would want exactly the same, we just couldn't sustain that, we've seen what happens to teams that bend to players demands.

    10k a week is scandalous, he's not that good, he's on more than Hourihane! Not worth it, we move on.

    Spot on! If our wage budget is £80k a week or similar - 4m a year on basic wages - would love to know how people would balance the books when people are offering Winnall 25% of that, and if Wigan have increased Morsys deal (he was on £10k someone mentioned) then we are going to have to accept these players move on.

    I'll trust PH and Watkins/Cryne to do some good business. I'll not stop supporting our club, particularly after the 12 months we've just had, because we find out we can't compete financially.

    Upsetting the odds, giving the bigger boys a bloody nose, punching above our weight. Call it what you will, but that's why I love this club.

    Money has corrupted and destroyed the game as it once was. So we have to enjoy football one game at a time. And over the last year this team has made me far far happier than it has miserable.

    The previous Wigan manager told Sam that he had no future at the club.

    At that point, we probably intended to offer him a longer contract on less money per week.

    Unfortunately, Wigan had a change of manager, and a change of heart. I don't think we can be blamed for that.

    Where I would criticise the club, is that we have wasted two weeks pursuing a transfer that was never going to go through. We should have walked away the moment Wigan selected him for that FA Cup match.

    I mean rather it wouldn't be worth it for us in context of our wage budget

    Why is Linton to blame? He's not in charge of any bank accounts the Cryne family have. He can't just offer players whatever he wants just because it's not his money to hand over.
