I was only joking hence the smiley!
Mind you it would be nice if the site was always first with the news - you will
have to get yourself a full time job at Wigan.

Well I hope so after hearing the interview going home last night on GMR it
sounds as if Norbury intends to leave it all to Phil Clarke to run the club on
a day to day basis leaving him (Norbury) as a figurehead.
When asked about his appointment he made all the usual noises about exciting
times, challenges etc and when asked about what the challenges were all he
could think of was moving to the new ground.
When asked was he a long time supporter of Wigan he answered no, he used to
follow Oldham (at least that is something I guess) but now he was a fan!
I assume the club will need a new financial director as well - lets hope they
get someone decent.
As to Nolan, it does seem he was the director who put a stop to Monies wish to
sign more antique Antipodeans (Horrow springs to mind) so if the rumours are
true that he left over the Goldspink affair then that is a worry.
