Wigan Quotes

• He lived in a fantasy world. There was not a day when he didn't add some Mickey Mouse story about a club that wanted him. First of all, he came in and told me that Arsenal wanted to buy him, then the next week it was Manchester Utd, then the next week it was Real Madrid. He made it clear that he did not want to be at the club so, in the end, there was only one thing I could do - send him to Wigan.

• Incluso antes de 2007, esta mitad de una pequeña isla era el país futbolístico más rico del planeta. En 2005-2006, los ingresos totales de la Premiership rondaron los 1.400 millones de libras, un 40% más que su rival más cercano, la Serie A italiana. Ahora, las televisiones extranjeras envían tanto dinero que se espera que la Premier ingrese casi 1.800 millones de libras esta temporada. Incluso el equipo que termine último en la tabla (Wigan podría ser una buena apuesta) obtendrá 26,8 millones de libras de la televisión. Es más que todo el fútbol argentino o belga junto.

• It is a testament to the fundamental honesty of football that Israel, with nothing to play for, overcame Russia in Tel Aviv on Saturday. The sport has its faults, but this basic trust is the reason Wembley holds 80,000 and could take more and the track and field venue for the London Olympics will be reduced after the event to the same capacity as the home of Wigan Athletic.
