Maybe he is too busy working out how to pay of our £50m worth of debt !
Exactly.
I’m no Whelan fan believe me.
But what would happen if he walked away from Wigan Athletic tomorrow, and demanded the return of the money he has loaned them.
It would be another Portsmouth.
I think it’s a case of better the devil you know.
Do you think Whelan would sell the Latics tomorrow if he could get his money back?
To be fair whelan has always said that we owe money but arent in debt, ie he has pledged to write off the debts, but I am sure some of our journalists will be able to clarify.
It does pay to be in debt for the tax breaks.
But this is the reason why the war chest is closed and we have to take risks on players. At least we saved £2m this year on Marlon going….
Do you think Whelan regrets `Bigging Up` Roberto???
Do you seriously think that such a serial wallflower like Whelan would shy away from sacking Martinez if he wanted too, let alone throwing a few negative comments at him in the press?
Martinez clearly has the support of Whelan – for whatever reason – and if you’re all sat waiting for him to be sacked I think it’s a while off coming yet.
Calm before the storm. I think Whelan will sack Martinez and will do it this season. He would sooner have £40 million for staying up than a fraction for relegation.
IS that not good? Slag Whelan off all they like, he is the reason for the success we have had. He has always done the right thing even if he does talk to much.
