Grant Holt wherever you may be,
Greggs, Maccy D's or the KFC,
If you keep us up with assists or goals,
We'll pay your wages in sausage rolls.


 

The best so far!

Do you remember what they used to sing about Peter Reid?

He's fat
He's shit
He's never fucking fit.

Looking around at some of the Wigan sites, they seem to find it hilarious and are truly amazed that we have taken Holt on loan.

I'll give him a chance, just on the basis that he might be good around the dressing room. It is definitely not for his agility and pace!

None of the 3 of them rate him, then? Do they have a site each?

I've just had a look too, they seem to be more concerned with his wages than his fitness which is good, most sensible comments seem to be that he's just a bad fit for Wigan at the moment rather than a complete flop.

with these wages , I dont know whos on what

but I think sometimes when you add the wages of a Helenius , Bowery , Holt etc etc , we might have well got some one in on better wages who is quality , who will actually play and  provide us with something , not 5 minute players off the bench.
