2005–06 Wigan Athletic F.C. season
The 2005–06 Wigan Athletic F.C. season was the club's 28th season in the Football League and their inaugural season in the Premier League, following their promotion from the Championship the season before.
Despite starting the season as one of the favourites for relegation, Wigan managed to exceed expectations with a nine-match unbeaten run early in the season. The club eventually finished the season in tenth place.
Wigan also reached the final of the League Cup - the club's first ever appearance in a major cup final. They lost the match 4–0 to Manchester United.
==Background==
Prior to the club's promotion to the Premier League, Wigan Athletic were a team that had spent the majority of their history in the third and fourth tier of English football since the club's election into the Football League in 1978. In 1995, when the club was playing football in Division Three and struggling due to financial difficulties and declining attendances, Wigan was taken over by local businessman Dave Whelan, who ambitiously proclaimed that Wigan would be playing Premier League football within ten years. With the help of Whelan's financial backing, the club rapidly rose through the divisions, gaining promotion to the second tier of English football for the first time in 2003, and culminating with their promotion to the Premier League on the final day of the 2004–05 Championship season. Despite this success, the club was predicted by many to be relegated straight back down to the Championship, including The Times newspaper, who suggested Wigan "will need a miracle if they are to survive".
