Jewell would be a good manager if this were ever happened. I think he only left Wigan because it finally dawned on him that he couldn't really attract the type of player he wanted because ... well because it's Wigan! Settled in Ilkley and a pretty good track record. Still, it's just conjecture for now. However, controversial though it may be (Oh no, I'm stepping into the cauldron here!) because of all the shenanigans over the summer (I use the term summer in it's loosest possible sense as it has officially depressed me this year!) our eyes have naturally been averted from the whole footy side. Right now it appears to me that we're in a similar situation to the one Blackwell inherited (And harped on about FAR too long) with a paper thin squad, Johnny Nobody playing in pre-season friendlies for us and excuses being metered out by the truckload about how all this has ruined DW's plans and how we've lost at least 4 players we'd earmarked. So what's controversial about that? Nothing. Keeping Dennis Wise as our manager right now and giving him the obligatory 'till christmas' to sort us out is the controversial bit (To some). Absolutely pointless IMHO in looking at changing anything for now. What's going on with the 'Golden Share' stuff? It seems to have gone very quiet. Is this because the FL are now poring over the paperwork KPMG have finally provided or are they just dragging their heels in true English Football Authority Styley? As far as I can see we're now offloading players (Where is that money being banked?) but whingeing (Seemingly wrongly) that we can't buy anyone, but we are allowed 3 to get the squad up to 20 which suggests Flo, Thompson and Sa are being 're-signed' to top us up for now. This all plays into the hands of Bates and Wise as they can get their excuses in now and the majority of us mugs will buy into it, but I think Wise has to produce and get us into a competative position by November ish or any time he has bought with all this nonesense will be spent and we can rightfully start applying the disgruntled fan pressure again!
