Dave Whelan

[Nev]

Gentlemen, gentlemen, save your ire for the inevitable reverse in fortune. Then allow yourself a rather nice smile.

[Risso]

If you ask anyone in Wigan for their opinion of Dave Whelan then it takes five minutes for the swearing to stop.

Indeed.  The man is a ******.  He wheedled his way into ownership of the rugby league team, just so that he could sell their old ground to Tesco and make a fortune.  He basically ruined Orrell rugby club, and there are umpteen stories of him fucking people over on the way to a few quid.  He likes to portray himself as Mr Wigan, but most people in the town can't stand him.

[N'ZMAV]

Fuck Dave Whelan. I'm not giving him any time of my day.

[Risso]

He's like Doug with a bigger ego. At least Doug had what he thought were the best interests of the Villa at heart. Whelan is a supreme self-egotist who ends up looking like a polished turd. Shiny but still a turd from the footballing hotbed that is Wigan.

Best ignored.

He's nothing like Doug.  Doug had a big ego, but is essentially a decent old boy.

That's exactly my point.

[PaulTheVillan]

Was half expecting to read he is dead.

I wonder if Martinez will rue the day he turned down better opportunities for the 2nd close season running to stay at Wigan. If he wants to get out, he should go. He seems to be believe everything that Whelen says about him managing Champions League chasing clubs.

[Ron Manager]

Dead happy I should think.

Now if Doug had still been Chairman he would have given our friend Mr Whelan a verbal savaging in the papers that Whelan would never fully recover from. Doug would have patronised him to the ninth degree...and more!!

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I'm going to curl one off in JJB Sports at lunchtime.



I suppose its only fair that I give McDonalds a break from my dirty protest.

[Villafirst]

You notice that there's never a counter quote from VP to DW? The PR and communication is dire except when they're desperate for season ticket sales.

[PaulWinch again]

There's no need to respond, as someone said previously Whelan has less credit than his own mobile phone.

[N'ZMAV]

I'm going to flob on the JJB window next time I go past.

[The Man With A Stick]

I thought he might have died too, oh well.

Haven't been a fan since I had a part-time summer job at his grubby sports shop chain, earning the princely sum of £1.50 an hour!  Slave labour flat cap twat.  I only lasted a couple of days there, which was almost enough to pay for a night out.

Yeah I used to work in JJB when I was 16, bloody nightmare.

Yep - he has turned into a renta-quote wanker
