Whelan has proved that a rich benefactor can take a two-bit nothing club from the bottom rung to the top tier of english football.
Unfortunately, it takes either a seriously rich benefactor (which he isnt), or a massive increase in revenue via ticket sales & merchandise (which clearly isnt going to happen) to stay there and become a regular top half side. Unfortunately for you, thats where the brick wall is. Whelan isnt a billionaire and these days, a club with only 12000 supporters needs a billionaire pumping in £50-100m per season to realise that dream.

Next home game I will throw my season ticket at Whelan and I hope he chokes on it, he aint taking the ++++ out me anymore. A premiership club run more like a non league club. Transfer deadline and despite being so painfully obvious the signings we need, we dont just not get any we let two go.
Close on £50million in players sold and we end up with Rodallega up front with King and Scotland for cover.
And the stupid old clown wonders why attendances are dwindling, well it dwindles one more after the next home match. Until that greedy selfish git is gone, I stay away. :xWhy not just stick it in the post (without a stamp) and save yourself the hassle of going to the ground.
There’s not a cat in hell’s chance that you’d go down as a joke. That is exclusively reserved for Derby. (Thankyou Mr Jewell!!!).
However I disagree about your comparison to Bolton & Blackburn. When they went down they had a true fan base in excess of 15,000, whereas your fanbase would collapse if you were relegated.
Fortunately, despite you being a selling club, there are plenty worse sides this season, so it would take something catastrophic to happen if you went down this year.
Highest paid director Brenda Spencer, amount not declaredI thought the chairman and the directors would take a dividend not a salary, and if there was a loss, how can she draw money from a loss-making organisation?
And how much money has she pumped into the club?

Why are your crowds so WAFC? Simple. Hardly anyone gives a toss about the Latics, and those that do are rapidly waking up and smelling the coffee.
You may survive in the Premiership – actually as a Wiganer I really hope you do, but you will never flourish. The best you can hope for is mid-table obscurity, and that is never going to have the crowds flocking in. You sell players at a profit, which may seem good business but it stinks of a lack of ambition. Take Cattermole for example – he signed for a club who finished below you last season, and have not finished higher than you since both clubs were promoted in 2004/05, yet they ooze ambition.
Next up at home – West Ham, then Chelsea & Man City. Thank goodness they all have a big away following to keep the crowd level above 15K, however come 7 November, unless uncle Dave comes up with 5000 freebies, we could be looking at a sub-11K attendance when Fulham roll into town.
In all fairness, the ‘fans’ who pick their games wouldn’t have looked at the fixture list and said “wolves at home, not gonna miss that one.”It’s not a big draw, at home to Wolves.
We’ll more than likely see around 23k on Saturday although alot of them will be just going cos it’s Utd and some will be born and bred wiganers who call themselves Utd fans. The kind of people who make me angry and feel sick!
People who go to the football on a budget (tight kangaroo) will pick their games and i’m fairly sure none of them would choose Wolves, more along the lines of Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, etc.
I guess they must be choosing one of the latter three this year then.
I totally agree but I wasnt the one that started this gloating thread. I think its very very sad and embarrassing. Have a word with the OP and get him to remove it and then we can all get back to hating each other! :D
There is an icon for reporting stuff, its the red icon!!!!!!!!!!Which I did, and received a pm from you acknowledging it.
Then the reference to paedophile was left there for another 2 days, despite repeated requests to have the thread removed. Although you replaced the word “paedophile” in the original post, it remained throughout the thread. If this was an error on your part then man up and admit that you didnt pull the thread when you should have done.
And has the perpetrator been banned? (I would say calling a respected member of the Wigan Community a Paedophile is far worse than a couple of trolls). Or is he going to receive a welcome at the DW similar to the one al-Meghawi got on his return to Libya?
Well, if YOU had pulled the thread when asked to, then it wouldnt have gone so far. Do your fecking job as a moderator.
By the way, Mr Hayton at WAFC wasnt overly impressed by your so-called supporters calling a highly-respected member of the Wigan community a paedophile either.
Bolton got 20k on against Sunderland and they had the whole stand behind the goal (around 7k – 2 tiers). I know there were a few empty seats but if you say there were around 6k there from Sunderland that leaves 14k from Bolton.The crowd was 22,200, and the visitors end holds approx 5500 so there were just short of 17K Bolton fans.
19,500 anything lower would be a bad turn out, The kids are off school so that cant be an excuse, on the subject, portsmouth only had a turnout of 17,500 but nothing mentioned on motd or any were else, If that would have been us we would have had the usual comments,16661.
