      I know all about when Gage came on board,he was an accountant using his professional expertise to help us.How that proves that someone with the millions you’re wanting would invest in us I’m not sure.

      Anyway this is as much use as banging my head against a brick wall.Of course your right,Whelan is making a massive profit out of us and is quite happy to see all our transfer fees into his bank account.I guess you lot have never heard of the going concern test that’s going to be brought in soon.

      Never let facts get in the way of a good story though eh?

        Its pretty obvious that you’ve got a problem with Whelan but this is fast becoming the ramblings of an obsessive.

        Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion but your letting your hatred of all things Whelan cloud your judgement. Im probably wasting my time even bothering to reply to that post but for my own interest i will.

        1) “The Great Business Man” – you’re obviously being sarky, i might not like the man but he’s done far more than I, or dare i say you have ever done in a business sense.

        2) Wigan Athletic in the Premiership are a great investment – to who exactly?? Im not being funny but if you were to rank the 20 Premier League teams in order of preference for a takeover I think we’d be at the bottom of the list. If big clubs like Everton cant attract investment what sort of chance have we got??

        3) A guaranteed £40m income? – you do realise that this income which is then spent on running the club?? The vast majority (89% last year) goes on paying the wages and then remainder goes towards transfers, agents fees, training ground, admin salaries etc. You dont seriously think DW banks a check for £40m every August do you and thinks, “there we go, another £40m for me”.

        4) If we’d kept the team together we would have made the top 6 – seriously that is absolute fantasy land, not a chance. Exactly who of Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton & Villa would we have finished above??? We were at best a higher mid table side last year, the fact we had a good run immediately pre January somehow convinced people we were European contenders

        As for all the other posts, its just more of the same. The only thing thats a “laughing stock” about the club are the hysterical posters on here who react to things as though the world has ended. Im just glad we didnt have the internet when i was watching Kenny Swain’s team, the place would have gone off the scale.

        Rant over, its made me feel better anyway!!
