BP1960 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) 21 minutes ago, whittles left foot said: Yes, but would you consider Mr Wellens to be one of them? No, although still learning the game he knows what he wants. Unfortunately, his hands are tied with the takeover dragging on. I remember when working for Jimmy Sirrel at Notts County and recommend an excellent winger from a lower league Scottish club called Alan Lawrence, the asking price was £10,000. He agreed he was just what he wanted, but said no matter now good he is the club haven't got £10,000, so the matter ended there. The player remained in Scotland, but went on the star in the Premiership. Edited December 29, 2017 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that was Scholes' intention when he actually wanted the job...get them to give it to Wellens, watch him crack under the pressure and then I am a dead cert for the role. Or maybe everything you've just read above is a load of bollocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the concrete evidence of what exactly makes you and Rigsby certain of the takeover collapsing? There is no news anywhere so when did the saying "no news is good news" become incompatible with the Latics? The recent takeover of Barnsley commenced early last season so we could still have a wait before Abdallah eventually takes over. To put it in simple terms...............STOP GUESSING - YOU KNOW JACK SH*T!!! There are only a few who know the takeover situation.......Abdallah and his advisors, Corney and his mates, I would say. Rigsby and deyres42 - NOPE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d suggest Rigby is just an attention seeking muppet (for want of a better word without swearing ) and Eyres is being a bit sarcastic. That’s what I think anyway.

I agree with all but Corney saying on camera in July he hoped to have it done for August and the deafening silence in the last week of December - they do shoot themselves in the foot ever so slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Quote from Wellens- ‘that [Jack Byrne] deal is down to whether we want to do it or not, so we’ll make a decision.’ Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with it taking so long, there are processes and procedures involved. They really shouldn’t have said anything and let it run its course. It’s progressing.

Lee Sinnott Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Villa are supposedly in for Nick Powell at Wigan. Maybe there is a future for Byrne at Wigan after all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Who ever takes Byrne must accept to have a free will player in the side. Byrne is never ever going to fit into a well drilled disciplined team or have another hothead short tempered player amongst the squad. If they do accept it then they'll have a match winner some games. Edited December 30, 2017 by Lags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is a future for Byrne at Wigan after all... They are shopping for a direct replacement for Powell before selling apparently so think it most likely he'll move on. I heard it will be difficult for him to get back in at Wigan, regardless of form/ability, because he's upset a few people there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellens probably knows this will be his last appearance and is using that situation to bring in someone else who will be available once Byrne has left. Kudos to Byrne if he comes on and scores, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
