Uncle Mike seems to have a genuine interest in his town. He seems to be approaching ownership of both clubs slightly differently with regards to players, but you can see there is much needed investment gradually arriving. The stadium has had some work done on the concourses. There are new murals on the stadium celebrating both clubs, and although it doesn't look perfect, there are sponsorships arriving on the stadium walls to try and ensure that cash flow isn't an issue. There seems to be a road map now for Latics with emphasis on young talent coming through the system and not spending extortionate amounts of money on older players on a hefty wage bill. Given time, Latics will grow again. I hope we can be a good example of ownership soon.
