Am I the only one that's seriously peeved with this tosser now?
"Villa not big enough for Martinez"..........excuse me Dave.......this is Roberto Martinez, not Lionel Messi. This coming from a chairman of frigging WIGAN and an ex pro who played for.....wait for it.....Crewe Alexandra and Blackburn Rovers.
I hope we give Whelan as much abuse as possible when Wigan arrive at Villa Park this season, the guy is deluded. The constant put downs of our Football Club, the way that he seems to have the Scouse as the greatest club in the world, calm down mosschops.
I wouldn't want Martinez anyway, any guy who cannot speak for himself but needs a chairman to act as his puppetmaster and speak for him, is not for me.
I hope Wigan go down now, and take Martinez with them, we'll see how many 'big' clubs want him then.
I advocate a boycott of DW Sports, JJB Sports and any other shiston sportwear shop with immediate effect.
-
He's just a gobby old fool.
-
****** that's what he is.A very clever ******.
-
Just read that myself. Who the f..k does that bloke think he is? He needs to remember that Wigan are a rugby league town. What a tosser!
-
He comes across as very ungraceful. I realise he's looking out for his own club, but why the barbs at ours?
-
If you ask anyone in Wigan for their opinion of Dave Whelan then it takes five minutes for the swearing to stop.
-

I've managed to avoid them for 49 years, can't see any reason why i'd suddenly find cheap casual sportswear a good look.
-
Silly old bastard
-
Are we really going to waste a thread on this twat. Rise above it...
-
It feels he's been doing the same crap at the end of every season for years. Dribbling on about how God like Martinez is and only the biggest and shiniest clubs will get him. OH WHELAN, no one wants him, he's shit like Wigan....you enjoy being 18th up til April Dave!

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure Wigan fans have been boycotting their own stadium for at least 6 years or so now.
-
I don't understand the Dave Whelan method.
He clearly has a young manager who's done well to keep a small club like Wigan on limited resources in the Premiership. Now correct me if I'm wrong but if you had someone who could do that in your employ, you'd be well chuffed & wouldn't be telling anyone who'd listen about where he should be working next.
Whelan is acting like a pimp, trying to over inflate the value of his young manager in the vain hope he can cash in on the modicum of success said young manager has brought his small football club when a bigger, better football club comes calling for his services.
Looks like it's all failed though doesn't it chubby?
-
Would love it if Swansea came in for Martinez!
-
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.
-
Pinochio Martinez can stay managing Whelan Athlunatic and playing home games on a rugby pitch if he wants. If he has a top half season this season then he can shout about it, assuming he becomes a real boy by then! Whelan is just a knob with delusions of grandeur.
-
Gentlemen, gentlemen, save your ire for the inevitable reverse in fortune. Then allow yourself a rather nice smile.
-

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

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

That's exactly my point.
-
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.
-
Was half expecting to read he is dead.
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!!
-
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.
-
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.
-
There's no need to respond, as someone said previously Whelan has less credit than his own mobile phone.
-
I'm going to flob on the JJB window next time I go past.
-
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
-
I came on here to put a similar thread on, glad I don't have to bother. Yes, he's getting to me now. The guy is deluded and if Martinez was that good his team wouldn't have been missing for 30 of the 38 games.
He'd make a great substitute manager, bring him on in the last few games of the season.....
-
he's also one of the very few chairmen who has played the game at proffesional level
-
Whelan has had nothing to do with JJB Sports for 5 years now.
-
Just imagine if Martinez did leave and Whelan hired Ian Holloway to replace him. What a double act that would be!!
-
Dave Whelan doesnt have anything to do with JJB Sports now I think, but dont let me stop anybody leaving bodily waste there.
-
The biggest laugh would come from Martinez going to somewhere like Swansea or Norwich!
-
I live approx 5 miles from Wigan and knowing people who work for him and have had dealings with him say he's a bully of the top order. He treats everybody with contempt, no doubt Martinez will find out sooner or later what he is like and he'll probably end up managing Derby or SHA in a year or two.
I know some stories about him but id better not put them on this board. He even treats the Rugby lot like shit which is ok by me (im a St.Helens Season ticket holder), when he took over Orell RU he sold them down the river and the clubhouse mysteriously burnt down one night.
-
I wouldn't want Martinez anyway, any guy who cannot speak for himself but needs a chairman to act as his puppetmaster and speak for him, is not for me.
From what I've heard, Martinez is none to happy with the way Whelan has been constantly mouthing of to the press this last week or so. He'd really rather not have Whelan acting as his mouthpiece at all.

Dave Whelan
David Whelan (born Oop Norf in Yorkshire on 24 November, bloody ages ago), is a former professional footballer with Blackburn Rovers, a gobshite, and the current owner of Wigan "not so" Athletic football club. Additionally, he owns the JJB dosswear chain (football shirt prices non-negotiable) and the Pooles Pies Stadium where Wigan play. He is regarded as Wigan's only Expert of British Footballing Law, well in his own eyes at least.
Whelan was a member of Blackburn Rovers' 1960 FA cup final team, which lost heavily 0-3 to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Whelan himself did not complete the match, breaking a leg during the first half. Whelan's injury is one of a catalogue of serious injuries suffered by players in the 1950-60 era and was known as the Wembley hoodoo.
After retiring as a footballer, Whelan sought to attain some qualifications to compete on the saturated job market with. He trained at Wigan Polytechnic for 5 years to attain his degree in bias, to which he is stated to be very proud of. It was while studying there that Whelan met his future partner Mark "the ******" Lawrenson who was also a washed up footballer at the time and was studying for his qualification in inaccurate predictions.
Wigan Athletic
He bought Wigan Athletic in 1995 when they were an unfashionable Division Three side. Since then the club has made huge progress and are, nowadays, an equally unfashionable Premiership side. This rise began with the Division Three title in 1997, Division Two title in 2003 and promotion to the Premiership as Championship runners-up in 2005. He has appointed six managers during his time at Wigan: John Deehan (1995-98), Jeremy Bentham (1998-2000), Bruce Forsyth (2000-01), Steve Irwin (March-May 2001), Paul Jewell (2001-2007), Chris Hutchings (About a fortnight) and Crying Old Geordie Woman (2008-). Thanks to Whelan's resources, Wigan, who were tipped to be relegated from the Premier League in their first season, managed to stay up, and claimed a high league position, They also got to their first Cup final in 2006 when they reached the League Cup Final.
in the 2006-2007 season, Wigan Athletic were exposed for the Championship team they really are after losing 3-0 to West Ham United. In an attempt to shift the blame from his own team, Whelan appeared in numerous interviews threatening legal action against West Ham United because they beat them. In other statements he went on to references to having complete faith in Paul Jewell as Wigan manager and more, stating "if he can command a team anything like he can command my whip, he's the right man for the job". The next day Jewell was sacked. Upon questioning on his motives for this, Whelan claimed he had never liked the "miserable fat ******".
Trivia
Whelan's business JJB was originally known as BJ but upon learning what the acronym actually meant, rebranded immediately in order to save face. Due to licensing issues the stadium kept the original name. Many people still regard the business as BJ, however, and rivals Mike Ashley Shit Sports Inc as purveyor of rubbish chavvie apparel for man, woman and bastard offspring. owns DW sports fitness which employs mcnuggets

I hope we give Whelan as much abuse as possible when Wigan arrive at Villa Park this season
I really cannot support your call for abuse.
However, I do think football club chairman who complain when they get called Fat Gobby Delusional Bullying Northern Bastards are a little bit out of order and should just get on with it.

A long period of silence is required from Mr Whelan.
-
God you lot are precious. So what if Whelan wants to shoot his mouth off. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
-
There's nothing precious about calling a twat a twat.
-
I don't really care what he has to say. Those who do care can rest assured that sooner or later Wigan will be relegated and he won't be raving about Martinez then. Nor will Martinez be interesting the likes of us or Racist FC. I'd bet good money the time will come next season.

Whelan saying Villa arnt a big club does not bother me one bit, i cant even begin to tell you how totaly unafected i am with how big Dave Whelan thinks we are, same goes for whatever Holloway said.
and yes i like them both.
but i tell you what does piss me of more than than they ever could,
its someone like Alex Fergusson who strolls into Villa Park says lovely things about the club how we are a 'big club' and 'always a difficut game' 'not taking the resut for granted' yet thats exactly what he does,
piss all over us and goes away with a guaranteed 3 points, says a few condesending things as he exits and waits to do it all again the following season.
and thats what i call bellitling, not anything Dave Whelan can or does say.

Fair points
-
There is also no point in getting all fist shaky about something someone has said in the press. He may be a Twat. Does it really matter? Do we need a whole thread so that angry little men can throw around insults at another angry little man?
Am I wrong to find it a tad pathetic?
-

I'd rather he shot a pistol in his mouth...

You do realise that I tell Chris Martin all of the bad things you say about him.
He says it makes him cry, so he bottles the tears and sends them to an African village. So in effect you are helping an African farmer to grow crops for his family.

This thread is for people to moan about how much of a ****** Dave Whelan is, because he doesn't mind rubbishing our team in the press. If you don't like it, don't read it, its as simple as that.

as i've said before i'm not so simple minded enough to get my knickers in a twist about anything Dave Whelan has to say about us.
i dont mind the bloke, thats true enough
but the thread says Dave Whelan, doesnt give rules and regulations as to what we should be saying on it.
dont get me mixed up with the sheep mentality mate, i'l always post honestly whether you like it or not.
i was only responding to your post about me the last time, if you dont like my response dont post about me.
as you said, simple as that

OooooOOOOoooooh! I've got my own opinions thanks, no need to get personal.
The fact is that lots of people think he's a twat and want to express it, if you want to call everyone who holds that opinion a 'sheep' and 'simple minded', then crack on. Your suggestion on another thread that the multi-millionaire Dave Whelan is somehow an underdog is laughable by the way.

i think your letting Whelan upset you more than you should mate.
yes he probably is a bit of a twat, so why bother whith what he says
Wigan are underdogs in footballing terms which is what we were discussing
-
Just heard his quote about Martinez not going to Liverpool because of maybe having to work under a sporting director..

I don't care what he says that much really, I just don't know why he has to comment on the Villa at all. Also, I have very firm opinions on the capabilities of Martinez, leading me to think that Whelan is either a) on a wind up (and if so, fair play to him), or b) living in a fantasy world.
Also, you seemed to be supporting Whelan in your other comment, rather than Wigan itself, which is why I brought it up. I don't want to argue with you over Dave fucking Whelan, I think he's a silly old tool, you don't, fair enough.

I'm not up to date on the Liverpool saga, wasn't Louis Van Gaal going to be sports director or something?
-
Whelan is apparently traveling to Nevada, Area 51 to negotiate with an alien football team for Martinez.
He is far to good for any team on this planet!! Bollocks!

Heavily rumoured, but I think they could have installed Roberts Mugabe as a sporting director and, if he had been offered it, Martinez would still have taken the job. I might be wrong though - he might want to stay at Wigan his whole career.
-
He's a gobshite, just like Redknapp. Match made in heaven if you ask me. They could sign Barton and complete the set.
Noisy.
-
Dave Whelan is a poor man's Doug Ellis.
-
Very good Lee. And very right.
-
Whelan just cant help himself, just onto Martinez I was thinking earlier that it dosent say much for him that he keeps turning down jobs to stay at the mighty Wigan, it smacks of a lack of backbone that he wont test himself at clubs with higher expectations, I will have a little chuckle if he and Dave end up in the championship at the end of next season.
-
Meh. He's trying to maximise the value of his 'talent' at our expense. Stuff like this doesn't bother me as he'd kill to swap club stature with ours.
File it away along with Holloway's comments.
-
It does matter what Whelan says. SKY for one is happy to give airtime to him to say it; it can and does add to negative perceptions of our club. It does do us harm.
Whelan is doing Martinez no favours at all. By his own mouth it was Martinez who approached Villa this time round, only to be told 'no thanks'. As far as I know the only thing that has changed since our initial (private) approach last season is that ~Whelan has used contact between the clubs to big-up himself, Wigan and Martinez at Villa's expense. The 'no thanks' was not surprisng.
I'd agree with the poster who said his most likely next job is going to be at somewhere like Smethwick. His time for an eye catching move may well have passed.
-
If Whelan is a poor man's Doug, maybe we should send them Doug as a special favour to educate Whelan as to proper etiquette,[and how doug won the war, established the package holiday trade, saved Good Hope hospital, won the European cup, etcetc]. Perhaps the threat of Doug may shut windbag up.
-
If they worked together, I reckon Whelan and Harry Rubberface would paint the town red by trying to outdo each other with quotes!!
On a serious note, I'd like Villa to clarify the situation at the press conference regarding Martinez, hopefully to shut Whelan up. That said, Villa are unlikely to stoop to that level. Sometimes I wish they'd be more open with the press and stick up for themselves against the media whore like Dave Whelan.
-
Be nice to see him cry next year when Wigan go down.
-
Be nice to see him cry next year when Wigan go down.
I genuinely hope they do. His time will run out no doubts. I also wonder if Whelan is putting in the new indoor pitch etc because Martinez loved Bodymoor Heath?
-
Fuck me he's talking on Sky about Wigan's assistant manager now.
-
Listening to him on talksport. It sounded like Liverpool didn't offer Martinez the job and Villa only sounded out his agent. In effect Martinez is staying putt, cus he had no alternative. Whelan's just happy he's staying. I get the feeling Martinez will regret saying no to Villa, when offered the job last season. Can't see Wigan hanging around in the prem for long.
Whelan's views do not cause me any strife. He's just looking after his club.

I trust our folk at the top to do things "properly" which they have got stick for but also deserve credit.
The official club statement from AV last year made the situation very clear and was confirmed by Martinez himself a while later. At the time Wanker Whelan used it to big up himself, Roberto and Wigan by bending the truth. The press and public bought it and believed it. Still do.
For what it's worth Pat Murphy said that Martinez had contacted us, but we had moved our search on. Then big Dave says that Roberto has decided to stay at Wigan. What he hasn't admitted to is WHY!
Murphy also stated that Villa had approached Norwich through the proper channels but told Lambert he couldn't talk to us, hence his resignation, and them "turning it down".
I continue to have faith in our management, but as the Mrs keeps telling me "I know f**k all" ;-)
-
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.
Your idea of good PR is Villa saying, "Dave's a twat, we're a massive club" ?
Don't argue with a twat. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
-
Whelan's views do not cause me any strife. He's just looking after his club.
That's fine but why does he drag us into it?
So Martinez is too good for us but not good enough for Liverpool - this doesn't leave him with many options?

Whelan just said Martinez didn't go to Liverpool. Commented about how he thought Villa are a good team. It's just his opinion that when Martinez leaves it will be to one of Europes great teams. I doubt it, but you can't blame him for hyping his manager.
The interviewer dragged Villa into it.
-
Brendan Rodgers gets the Liverpool job with a guarantee they will not be appointing a DOF above him. Paul Lambert considers Villa a big enough club to leave Norwich for. Somehow Roberto remains at ickle Wigan despite practically every other job in the PL being vacant. From what I've read he realised he'd talked himself out of the Liverpool job and started begging (sorry, got his advisors to sound out) Villa. Or in Daveland-
Liverpool were not the right club for Roberto in the circumstances.
Villa are a big club, but not big enough for Roberto.
Roberto will leave Wigan, but onlywhen the time is right and only for one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
Going by what Dave says I'm guessing Brendan and Paul will feel really stupid this time next year when Roberto is managing Bayern, Inter, AC, Barcelona, Madrid, Man United, or Chelsea.

Fuck me he's talking on Sky about Wigan's assistant manager now.
"Graeme Jones is too big for a club like Swansea, one day he'll be approached by one of the true Welsh giants, like Bala Town or Airbus UK Broughton, and when that happens I won't stand in his way."
-
he will be chuffed to bits he is being talked about on 2 threads on another clubs forum
-
Yeah, I can imagine getting a round of fucks for the amusement of some fans on a football forum is quite the accolade.
And please, can the "he's not worth it" party just piss off. We can spare a few insults for a nauseating old tosser if we want to.
It doesn't reflect on you and your time is your own. And you're not anything special, individual or noble if you dont wish to join in.
Cheers.

Dave Whelan has invested a lot of money into his home town club and is just protecting their interests. I can't believe some people are trying to make him out to be a publicity/attention seeker.

Yes, OK, you're right
-
If they worked together, I reckon Whelan and Harry Rubberface would paint the town red by trying to outdo each other with quotes!!
On a serious note, I'd like Villa to clarify the situation at the press conference regarding Martinez, hopefully to shut Whelan up. That said, Villa are unlikely to stoop to that level. Sometimes I wish they'd be more open with the press and stick up for themselves against the media whore like Dave Whelan.
I'm sure that the (hoped-for impending) Villa press release will say that the only offer they made has been to Lambert.
Martinez seems to have been considered for one or two jobs during this close season: he appears not to have been offered a move-opportunity and is thus probably staying with his Grand-daddy for another season.
As several have said, he may well find staving off relegation more difficult next season, particularly if the likes of McCarthy, MacArthur and Moses get poached over the summer.
-
As I was leaving the house SSN just said Whelan says Norwich are wrong not to accept resignation of Lambet with that my boot flew towards the TV, Keep your fucking nose out grandad
-
He's just desperate for Lambert to be confirmed at the Villa and Rodgers to be confirmed at 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' - that way he'll keep the world's greatest ever Manager since Paul Jewel.
If either falls through, I'd expect Martinez to again throw himself at the feet of both Clubs faster than you can say senile old bastard.
-
I've been reading and writing to finnish football forum, and there's quite a difference on reaction with Villaforums (This and VT) and with the finnish forum toward Whelan and Martinez...lot of the people there seems to be liking Whelan for some reason because he's "outspoken" and happy that Martinez is staying "out of loyalty".
Edit: Liverpool fans never change though; finnish Liverpool fans are as deranged and delusional as the UK ones.

I don't believe he is staying 'out of loyalty' though. I think both 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' and the Villa deemed he wasn't what either were looking for - Whelan can spin it all he likes but there's a a big difference.

Nah, well, I think quite some Villafans are actually glad that he's staying in Wigan but happy for different reasons than finnish forum people :P
-
So Liverpool have confirmed that Rodgers was the only person offered the job, confirming what we already knew that Whelan is a complete and utter bullshitter
-
He is still banging on about Martinez not being happy with the working conditions at Liverpool, therefore still suggesting he was offered the job. I would imagine he will try to make out we offered him the job too. The bottom line is he has kept his manager. It would be nice if he got on with things and stopped talking about other clubs.
-
He's making Martinez look like one of those dipshit sixth-formers you see every summer in the Daily Mail, who got three A's at A-Level from some private school in Surrey but still got rejected by Cambridge University.
And you look at the picture of him with his pushy parents, looking all cross holding his A-Level cerificates, and you realise why he got turned down.
-
He used to do his SSN interviews by phone, now they appear to come from his place in Barbados. They probably just leave the cameras permanently set up there to save hassle.
-
A very irritating man who very much likes the sound of his own voice. He also seems to know what other people are thinking, he needs to learn that sometimes it's better to keep quiet. Empty vessels and all that.
-
I wish they would use his full name Allabout Dave Whelan.Because every interview is all about Dave Whelan.
Shame really, not sure why he is so desperate for self poblicity.
-
been out all day
never mind about dave whelan and his drama queen
whats about pl has he signed
-
He broadcasts from Underdog Atoll.
-
Its still playing on his mind
What?
The fact that he he should have cut out the centre that led to Wolves first goal in the 1960 Cup Final
Not quick enough Dave, probably talking to someone!
Mind you i had forgotten The Doog played centre forward for them that day.
-
The Bindippers get on my thru'pennies, but fair play to their MD for bitchslapping the little scrote!

I liked that as well. On this, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, I think.
-
It says something that in a year Martinez has gone from turning down the opportunity to talk to Villa to actively seeking the chance to talk to them. He is as pissed off with Whelan as the rest of the planet and realises it is actually reflecting on him. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at Swansea just to get away from the bloke.
-
Mind you Swansea couldn't persuade Wigan's assistant manager to come and work for them, let alone Martinez, unless they're planning to surprise us all and move as a package.
-
The man is royal cock of the Porn twins level. Talking bollocks is just something he does now. Nothing out of the ordinary in any way. If actually shut his arse and gave his mouth a chance he might say something decent. The sooner they go down the better for all concerned.

Stick up for Dave Whelan time I think. He did build a nice new ground for his club rather than move from big city to big city begging for a council house.

More for Rugby League,the football is a sideshow in Wigan.
-
As I recently said on another thread from my ITK friend of Martinez.
Last year, Marinez said "Yes" to AVFC, only for Whelan to ask for ludicrous compensation. Randy refused use to Martinez being relatively new in proportion to the compo asked for.
And from there the story was borne of his "turning us down".
All thanks to Whelan.
-
and in the end, Martinez is stuck at Wigan, and we got arguably a better manager for free.
-
Tiresome attention seeker like Ellis, and close friend of dementing windbag Stuart Hall - nothing more we need to know about him, let's move on

T.B.H you are right,as the kids say.

give me 10 Dave Whelans over 1 Ian Ayre, absolute corporate tossbasket of the highest order
everything thats wrong with football can be found in Ian Ayre, not in Whelan,
he has a big gob granted but is a true football man
just shows how much has changed in the modern game when we are praising wankers like of Ian Ayre over ex proffesionals who bleed for there club

He also made a fortune selling the old Springfield Park to a housing developer, and the old Rugby League ground Central Park to Tesco. He isn't a football man as John E suggests, he's a Dave Whelan man. And a more horrible human being you could not wish to meet.
-
I think john e is actually in love with the old gobshite. It's getting quite worrying now.
Is there a psychological disorder, a bit like Stockholm Syndrome I suppose, where you feel a strong bond with somebody who drags your name (or that of your club) through the mud?

so i've decided not to like him anymore

He's out to squeeze as much profit as he can for his club. I don't blame him for that, really, it's his job, after all.
He is a ******, mind, I'd agree with that.

Yes, he's doing is the best he can for his club....just like any other chairman in the prem or any league for that matter. The only difference being that other chairmen don't conduct their business transactions via the media. Maybe they should, at least then nobody would give a flying one about him or what is going on at Wigan.
-
Every club on the planet wants Roberto Martinez as manager but he will only go to one of Europe's biggest clubs. Every club in the PL wants Wigan's best players but they will only go for the right price and only to a Champions League club. These are the 'facts' Dave Whelan keeps repeating year after year.

Cheeky bastard! If I had his dosh I wouldn't donate a single penny to any political party. They're all a bunch of self-serving arseholes.
-
£4 million for Moses?? And thats not enough?
He's such a fucking bore, its so tiresome seeing him say the same old shite.
-
Whelan should appoint Redknapp when Martinez leaves to manage Barcelona. They could both travel in Saggy's Range Rover, and both do interviews with the window wound down.

A match truly made in 'SSN' hell!!!! I can imagine Rupert Murdoch sitting on his throne, hoofed feet tapping in excitement saying 'make it so' to his minions.
-
Why donate to a political party?
DW gives £1.3 million pounds to the self-servatives who then announce a tax-cut for the super-rich.
Spot the coincidence.
-
Well unfortunately we have to make it lucrative for the super rich to be here, otherwise they invest/spend elsewhere.
Dave Whelan is still a bellend though.
-
Shame we can't make it lucrative for the people who do the actual work as well!

Aye, no arguments there.

Not true, what he actually said was "When Roberto leaves this club it will not be for any position lower than Governor of The Bank Of England". But he did confirm Barclays had asked to speak to him. As have Lloyds TSB, HSBC and The Royal Bank Of Scotland.

To put it as a simple mathematical equation:
