He said: “There were loads of players we missed. It was a really frustrating time trying to get players to come here.
“I would like to have brought in two or three more, but getting them in January is very difficult especially in the situation we have found ourselves in. Players are loath to come to Wigan.
“West Ham found it difficult, too, but they are prepared to pay £60,000 or £70,000 a week to change that. I don’t think we should do that at Wigan.”
