Especially the bit about Wigan Athletic Holdings Limited having the controlling share in the DW Stadium, I think this can be put top bed now.
I am even tempted to go over to RLFans to see the veins popping (actually I am not that bothered)
Good to see the club making ends meet and the investment in academy and facilities will stand the club in good stead for the future.
Yep, very interesting read (cheers CL). Great to see that debt coming down.. or should i say tumbling down.
True legend is Mr Whelan and this statement demonstrates that Wigan Athletic will have a future long after he calls it a day

Indeed.
If SAF can have both the main stand named after himself and a statue erected outside OT (likewise a certain M Jackson down at the Cottage), then someone ought to see to it that DW has a statue erected in his LIFETIME down at the ground.
On the subject of finances, the cynic in me wonder’s whether he’d have preferred, in hindsight, to have held off on the debt /equity swap for a little longer.
On the basis we stick around in the MONEY league and with SKY pumping some serious cash / ridiculous money into the game, coupled with the club’s responsible financial management (operating costs), then he may have been in a better position to recoup part his investment, the club being profitable /cash positive and able to reduce its DW debt.
We ain’t ever going to be the hottest investment prospect (DW sell-out) due to geographic s, etc.
Hindsight, a wonderful thing !

I’d agree with the statue thing JPC. Not really a lover of senseless erections (no rude puns gents) like the Fulham one??? But Sir Dave defo deserves something sorting in his honour.
Maybe CL could approach the club to gain their thoughts?
