Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Bollox, you arent allowed in your RENTED stadium, unlike Fev, who OWN their stadium and all the land round it, in real terms they have more financial assets than Wigan

and how much profit do they generate again? or even how much assets do they own? people seem to forget wigan have a stadium they use as a training ground! And really you think a friendly would generate enough money to pay for the usage of the DW don't talk stupid.
By the way central park and Orrell training ground is owned by wigan so compare the assets don't think they do if i am honest.

I'm going to assume starbug this is the question you were referring me to not answering?
Can you explain to me how any club in the championship would not need hundreds of thousands from somewhere to become minor premiers.
The fact is Huddersfield have the money (through a rich backer) and so spent it, if he pulled out, I would expect Huddersfield to align their spending accordingly, until that point will continue to do so for the sake of on field success.
Would you say Chelsea are poorly run - as they have needed hundreds of millions poured into them over the last 5 years?

Here's what he's referring to (yes it is sad of Wigan to call it that)
Physical assets, I agree, should be considered a crucial criteria for any successful club.

You suggested Huddersfield were ' well run ' , quantify that if they need massive financial support?
Chelsea, like Manchester City are charities, not businesses

I suggested they were better ran than village teams (I believe, this was a while ago, and a lot of points have been raised in this discussion!)
You can consider Huddersfield a charity too then (I honestly don't know enough about their financial situation to have a discussion about it, I admit I went off their recent on field success as an assumed indicator, if this is not the case, I retract my comments)
