Some of Whelans comments get better & better.
I’m not aware of him making any comments recently. These are all being resurrected from the past (and frankly I’m getting VERY bored with all of these posts now – the word “obsessed” springs to mind) so the quoted sentence is rather a strange one.
It’s now time he was removedUnless I’m very much mistaken you can’t “remove” someone who owns something.
It’s HIS club – the only way he relinquishes that fact is if someone else buys it off him at a price he’s willing to accept.
Maybe some of the posters on here would wish to do that themselves??
Yeah. My kids went back to school today too.
Mind you, they are both teachers.
So this e-mail is REALLY late for me.
Its poll time folks !Whelan… FOR or AGAINST ? ( what he is doing now, not what he has done in past )
One word answers only as we are going round in circles here !
… and the results of this poll are going to do/show/prove what precisely?
About as relevant as voting who should be evicted from Big Brother :roll:

State they’re in Wigan Athletic are where they are, in the JJB Stadium and in the Premier League, solely due to the patronage of local market trader made good, Dave Whelan. Interest free loans from his holding company were increased to £35.6m, and Wigan were given another unsecured loan of £7.5m assumed to have come from Whelan. Barclays Bank maintained their funding at £23m because of Whelan’s backing. The accounts make it clear that Wigan, who expect to continue to make losses, would not be solvent without Whelan’s financial backing.
There cant be many debts because we dont spend any bloody money

“Michael’s a player who has shown he can perform at this level,”
Like when exactly??
Potential liability – used to shut my eyes every time he went charging in to a tackle – no problem in seeing him go.
