He won’t.
He’s only about 20-25 miles from Manchester & nice parts of Cheshire.
He’ll be getting about £8-£10k per week.
We’ll be offering approximately £4K-£5k tops.
He has a young family
He’s 27?
It’s his last chance to move to England.
The Championship was the best he was ever going to get.
Folk trot out more cliches about “well he’ll win f**k all at Wigan”.
Of course he won’t.
But he’s won f**k all here.
“He won’t get to play in Europe”
Aye, missing out on 2 games per season in the qualifiers, maybe 4 if we get a lucky draw.
Remind me why he’d want to stay for half the money in a league he’s played in for 10 years?
