Quote: Slippery Steve "This whole situation is diabolical
Grow some balls
Can't believe how Wigan Athletic " a tiny insignificant football club" is calling the shots.
If you not going to grow some balls and demand to play, eat humble pie and start to save for a home of your own.'"
Insignificant to you and I perhaps. But if Wigan Athletic stay in the Premier League they get circa £30m in sky money. How many years of Wigan Warriors rent does that equate to. Much as I dislike it and I really want the game to be at Wigan, and much as I dislike the arrogance of DW. I can see why he is not willing to budge on this one.
Imagine the last game of the season is 1-1 with seconds to go. A wigan player breaks through. He needs to tuck it away to keep the Latics in the Premiership. He takes his foot back delivers his foot through the ball but just before he strikes it the ball takes a horrible bobble and he balloons it over the bar. Latics down to the Championship. DW sitting up in the stand thinking "if just maybe I had not let those rugby players on that pitch yesterday we might still be in the Premiership" Would he be able to live with himself?
