Still got my old norweb logoed shirt.Not what he was craced up to be dw.Spouting on at every god given tv opportunity how he would bring back the glory years etc etc etc.Would not mind a decent sponsor who recognised the history and passion of our crest and that it is a privillege to be associated with us.

Free as in paying £450,000 for Fielden, paying off Milward, getting Noble in and so on you mean?

It was I am sure just the way DW ran the club given he owned it, the ground and the JJB company itself. It was "all one big thing" to him so I am sure the fact we didn't get any sponsorship for the shirts was more than offset by other money DW spent on the club. Would you not agree?

Now obviously IL needs to get sponsorship because I don't think his pockets as deep as DW's but I don't think it was some heinous crime DW committed not paying shirt sponsorship for the reasons stated above.

As to shirt sponsorship this year, IL knew the score on that when he bought the club.

Should get our shirts made by Ralph Lauren or George

JJB own kooga.
Sorry to be blunt but thats wrong. No emoticons to soften the post.

I believe you're both wrong! JJB owns Patrick, which used to manufacture Wigan's shirts, not Kooga.

Jjb own parts of many companies you wouldn't expect.

Not as many as Sports Direct! who, incidentally, have been wiping the floor of JJB for many years now... a shame JJB had to close many stores *cough* whilst SD.com open new ones...

You'd also be suprised the management link between jjb and sd.


Time will reveal all. . . .
