Dave Whelan features in a book by the late Mike Gregory entitled 'Biting Back'.
I suggest you read the book before welcoming any involvement from Dave Whelan.

I agree, I have no respect for the guy at all.

being only 21 i have no idea what is in this book or what has been said... perhaps you could fill me in

Correct, he's a snake IMO.

I've heard that DW is very upset about the rugger chaps cutting up his beloved footy pitch and that he is buying Wakey so that he can move Wigan RL here.
I've also heard that it was the Man City owners who are interested.Well I may as well talk gibberish because everyone else is and also knowing DG very well I would say there's not an hope in hell.

Bin Laden has denied he is interested in buying us. He doesn't want to damage his reputation!

It would be good to have more than one interested party (although to be honest I would settle for one with a decent business brain and some cash).

The only slight worry is that the people deciding who to hand over the reins are the same people who have presided over various cock-ups in the past.

I am hoping they take some external advice on this issue (only not from Teds Solicitor)

Would that give us a BoD who [ucould[/u organise a **** up in a brewery?

I've watched Trinity since 1975 and seen them lurch fromm financial crisis to financial crisis - I don't care who takes over as long as they stabilise the club & let us move on & prosper

Hope your right Dave Whelen would be a cracking owner.

Yeah right course he would (not!)

Yeah because hes done a real terrible job at Wigan football. Dont talk rubbish you clown he will be great a damm sight better then TED !!!!

im lost for words.

I'm with you there Mopsey. Now we know where they all went to when the Royds closed down.

Theres only one clown on here you need to look in the mirror

I am not shooting the messenger as like you say its what you have heard.

BUT ITS UTTER PONY, Whelan has no interest in RL he proved that at Wigan over the years he was there. He has only one interest and that is the footy club.

HE SHOWED HIS TRUE COLOURS WHEN HE MADE WIGAN PLAY (I THINK IT WAS A SEMI FINAL PLAY OFF) AT WIDNES BECAUSE IT WOULD MARK THE PITCH FOR THE FOOTY TEAM. AS A RUGBY FAN THAT WAS THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED IN RELATION TO HIM. IT ALSO SHOWS WHAT POWER WIGAN HAVE AT THE DW STADIUM...DIDLY SQUAT.

NO WAY JOSE

Must be rubbish. No-one had made an offer for my shares yet!

only one i heard about was the guy behind yorkcourt. dont know his name tho.

cant see any truth in the dave whelan thing at all

Can't somebody tap Parky up? He must be worth a few quid now!

I'd be surprised by interest from any major player in the absence of planning permission for NM, but get that and you beggars may well be choosers for once.

This has been mentioned before, however, any investor would be able to buy the club cheeper now than after planning permission has been granted so somebody may be willing to take a risk.

Just heard the guy who owns Pro Star is in for the club.

Could we put up with them collers again

Heard the Queen is interested or at least Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs

No he has given it away. He signed it over to the football club, and signed a long lease for the rugby club. He said its because he is getting a bit old for it all. So I would find it difficult to believe he is planning to come back into the sport.
