Quote: Phuzzy "You clearly do hold a different opinion to mine and no, I don't think I'll change your mind. Someone admitting they're wrong on these boards would be cause for a national holiday it's so rare! However (and we've been here before) why do you think you should be able to post anything you want and not have it challenged? Is your opinion more important than anyone else's?
You're wrong. I can give you factual information that essentially proves you're wrong. Your opinion is also contrary to the opinion of every coach he played under who, almost to a man, made him their captain. Yet for some reason you think we should accept something just because you say it. Why is that?'"
If someone offers new information or something which I didn’t consider I’m happy to discuss and debate; does that mean I have to change my opinion? Not at all.
Look at how you deal with people who have a difference in opinion ‘you’re wrong’ is how you deal with opposite opinions.
And then try to manipulate facts and figures to support your point (as it kills you to learn someone doesn’t agree with you)
You chose to mention coaches making Lockers a captain; when did we discuss leadership? Is always the captain the best player? No. This is also doesn’t consider the landscape of the team at the time etc.
I’ve purposely avoided posting Batemans successes (which are easy accessible on the Wigan website) because I can read between the lines, I can identify when someone wants to have a discussion or just bicker and argue.
Case in point, look at your last line, when did I say people should accept what I say? I haven’t. It’s just my opinion.
Already I’m disappointed with myself; for getting into this when I shold have just avoided engaging with you.
FWIW; Lockers is my current fav Wigan player. Love the man. But I do believe Bateman was better age for age.
