So why will they go to Fulham?
Im not going to argue, I just want you to tell me, before the Premier league, we were signing players from the same division, even higher divisions. Henri Camara, Arjan DeZeuuw to name two, but more than that, the team which took us to the Premiership, was virtually the same team that took us to the Championship. We didnt sell all our players, the ambition was there for the world to see. The Wigan people saw it as every season the crowds increased, until?
The crowds when Whelan took over where around 3000, yet we managed to sign quality players, build a new stadium and climb to the Premiership.
We were getting no financial help, the prize money for promotion about 100k. Then we get to the Premiership, get 60million off tv, the attendances increase 5 or 6 times, the sponsorship etc increases and every year we sell our best players.
I still go as last night and will continue to do so, but surely you understand the frustration. Were currently in negotiations to sign a Spanish second division midfielder with a dodgey ticker to replace our Premiership England under 21 international. To replace £18m of Premiership winger, we look to the Spanish second division.
Im going to stop now as I get myself worked up, if possible forget Whelan and just concentrate on the club.
