haha brilliant!

his grandson and uni graduate wants to open a chippy



come on Ian, buy latics and then sink em...

he'll have to go a long way to be as good as these www.whelansfishandchips.co.uk/

he'll have to go a long way to be as good as these www.whelansfishandchips.co.uk/

a fish and chip "restaurant"? whats wrong with the "chippery". it'll never work!!!

the chippery used to be awesome, havent been in for years tho



bring back millgate chippy!!!

The chippery is nowhere near as good as it was in the late 80s when I used to go there from the tech, and the portions have shrunk hugely

Whelan's putting his heart and sole into this project.

I think you're skating around the real issue

Could well turn out to be the plaice to go.

Wouldnt take a brain sturgeon to run the latics!

Sounds a little fishy.

You're right....

It's a load of pollocks.

Lenagan in the frame to buy Wigan Athletic? Who'd a thunk it?



I don't want to say I told you so... but....



Anyway, I hope this story doesn't turn out to be pollocks and that IL brings both Wigan clubs and the stadium under common ownership.

I wonder what they're making of this on Cockneymuppet.com?

Beat me to it!

I have mentioned it.

Just been on and see you've had a couple of responses already!

Not too sure why he wants to build a fish and chip shop in a place that big. Saying that, I've never been, how big is it?

Yeah it'll make money but surely a sports bar with a couple of fast food outlets would go down even better.

Thought the same too , it is a big building inside , it would have been a better option to have like you say a sport bar that does food .

Guess time will tell

Lenegan would be stupid to buy them, they are a sinking ship. If they go down, they will go down again and will be worth nothing at all, and I for one, cannot wait!!!!!!!!

depends what it would cost him. how much does a championship side go for these days?

Lenagan isn't allowed to be involved with the Latics, and given his stated aims for Oxford United (buying their ground back etc) won't be a credible buyer for a long time.

If IL does buy them (even through a third party a la Murdoch / Bates) it would be because it would benefit him financially . Same as Whelan sold his share in JJB for around £170 million just before it went tits up .These people are not in the situation they are in by being stupid .

Isn't in Lenagans son who is involved with Oxford United?

Listed as a current director along with his (2) sons and Jim Rosenthal...

Depends on who it is! Wigan Athletic are small time, whether they admit it or not, they are not worth half as much as teams like Sheffield United, Coventry, Leeds..........
