Here we go again nothing, like it or not you have to accept where we stand in the big picture. We have to find a balance. We have spent since January not far off 20 million at a guess. Yes we have made more than that from player sales but we also have a debt of 60 million to service.
We have the lowest gates in the league, the cheapest prices yet people want us to lash millions on players all the time?
Maybe we could do what Portsmouth have done? Newcastle? Or even worse Leeds?
Moan and groan all you want but try and be realistic about it.
Well said that man. All this two veg about ‘the future of the club in jeapordy’ is pure hogwash. If we were breaking the bank to stay up, then I’d be worried about the club.
All you who are castigating Whelan for not spending £10M+ on a striker should weigh up the cost of him *giving* us the stadium he paid for**. That’s far better for the security of the club long term than buying a lad who could break his leg walking the dog…
**Before anyone starts, I didn’t say he solely paid for the stadium, but his contribution wasn’t in monopoly money.[/quote]
Nobody wants him to buy anybody, just stop selling our assets. Stop telling lies. Cattermoles not for sale at any price, lets fans go and have his name printed on their shirts, then sells him. When we first came up, the new kit will not change for three years, what did we do? Publicly telling every person and club in the land, ”were a selling club, so if you want anyone this is where to come” Even touting Martinez saying he will one day be at a big club before he started his Wigan job.
Yes he gave us the stadium, but decided it should be called DW, gave a 50 year lease to rugby and named one of our stands after a rugby mon. Its as much our stadium as a new Ferrari is mine.
