show enough of the queens head and you get anything you want

A total non starter unless IL sells out to another ambitious Multi Millionaire prepared to 'go it alone'.



We can all dream though!



Lock it.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_HemmingsTrevor Hemmings[/url was interested in buying the club before Lenegan came into the frame. The rumour was that he pulled out because Whelan wouldn't sell him the stadium in the deal.



He's only worth £1 billion mind

As has already been stated, Latics will not retain their premiership status. It may take 2 years or 5 years or even ten years but it is inevitable. Lowest crowds and cheapest season tickets cannot sustain huge salaries.

Great signings have made them competitive but they always have to sell. One day the signings won't work, there'll be no-one to sell and Whelan will bail out.

Had this discussion ages ago.



IIRC Katrina got a lot of info about it - and the agreement for the building of the stadia is that it would be for 'Multi-Sport Usage'. Thus if Wigan Warriors/Latics moved out the contract terms for the stadium usage would be broken.



Besides, it's simply not realistic for either club to build a new stadium anytime soon.

I don't agree Bilko....the play off fixture was an additional ...unexpected ...unplanned fixture which NO ONE thought would occur (Wire's ineptitude under the adorable James Lowes being the bizarre catalyst behind the whole situation) would have drawn a 15,000 gate at least ....which meant unplanned and unexpected revenue for Dave Whelan...and what does he love more than money?......N'owt !



He cancelled the fixture because the ground was already in a shocking state (thanks to his unwillingness to invest in it properly...since rectified at long last).....and he was on a last warning from Premier League Chiefs who were just bursting to slap him down due to his "runaway gob" and generally inane pronouncements about all manner of things which don't concern him.



The pitch for the football was appalling and he'd been warned if there were anymore complaints from opposing Managers/Chairmen (apparently there's been plenty) then he was facing a points deduction, which could (potentially) at a stroke spell relegation for Latics and Arrividerci to the 30 million quid annual income.......In effect he was reminded that although he thinks he's "Ruthless Billy Tough Nuts" along the highways and byways of Wigan...in the company that Latics are moving in he's a `Boy Scout'l .....that's why the fixture was cancelled....the pitch was sodden...the forecast awful ....although ironically the weather leading up to the weekend wasn't nearly as bad as feared.....but all the talk of not being able to turn the ground around in time was just face saving waffle on his part, he'd been forced in to making himslef look silly..... but he wasn't going to acknowledge that in public.

No I think it was Donna.

Makes interesting reading and makes sense in a way



hhhhhmmmmmmm

I suspect Whelan will have sold Latics before they lose there Premier League status, I have a sneaking suspicion he was very close to securing a deal just before the credit crunch bit.

That sounds like a fairly accurate and comprehensive assessment to me.
