I hope he appoints Martinez, talk about a small fish in a big pond! Premiership manager? nope. |

Strange - seems a fully decent move by Whelan on the face of it.
Perhaps he realised quite how bad the feeling towards him from half of Wigan was and decided to rectify it, but without doubt a stand will be named after someone from Latics as well.

Name the East stand after Graeme West, that'll confuse the fans of the dribbling code

To be absolutely honest though - joking apart - he's really going to struggle to find someone who's known outside Latic fanatic circles.
If they choose some complete non-entity, or someone who was better known for playing at other clubs, it's going to invite hilarity from visiting footie fans. |

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

The Titus Bramble stand!
Or his namesake and what Dave Whelan should have been named at birth

"There's also the added impetus with the application to be a host city for the 2018 World Cup that would mean we have to grow the stadium to 40,000 by that time." [/i
Seems like the KC Stadium may get a little bigger in the next few years.

I don't know if anyone's already suggested this, but couldn't Whelan just be giving us this one stand to appease us before he then names the other three stands after latics leg ends?
I know they'd struggle to name one, never mind three, but it's entirely possible. Wouldn't seem such a great gesture then!

Same thought passed my mind although a while back on Cockney Liar or Wigan Today, I forget which, the best they could come up with was some auld kit mon who'd given 30 odd years service. Cheshire Combination League and all. |
