Ok so all we need to do is find someone who will tip up millions go get us to the top flight and buys us a stadium.

Once steady he then converts (sic 'writes off') that money he's spent into shares.

Good luck with that one.

1. You need a Dave Whelan and £70m to do what Wigan Atheletic have done. Since the early 90's he has been the white knight you said they didn't have/need. You don't get into the premier league on crowds of 6000 without a huge influx of cash. If Dave Whelan hit bad times as Arthur Thomas did, then they'd have ended up in the mire too.

2. Without a Dave Whelan providing that £70m platform the good business practise you championed as an example for us is irrelevant because without the £70m it would not have happened in the first place.

3. We do need a stadium to do what he has done because of the secondary spend income. Look at their corporate and commercial income and revenues. He is in control of that, we aren't. That helps him and his business model more than we could ever wish.

4. If Wigan hadn't sold 20odd million quids worth of players they would have made another loss.

We can go on all day about it. Well, we cant because I've better things to do than spend all day on here. Whilst there are many good achievements made by them, following their business model isn't one of them.

Well here`s hoping the Latics get relegated and Bolton win both games against them next year.

It was like when we won the cup in 71.
They deserved it as we also did.
They look like going down now nothing but a miracle win at Aresenal Tuesday can save them, can't see it happening beating a top 5 team twice in 3 days is impossible almost!

No if buts maybes or aunties uncles about it. There's nowt wrong with admitting it doesn't work. We've all done it.

Whelan has done well for Wigan but he's had to spend 15 years tipping up. We can't do that.

I think we all agree on that mate.

Well done Wigan, thoroughly deserved victory in a good game.

Nice to see a 'unfashionable' club that has risen through the leagues rewarded.

If they don`t get at a least a point at the Emirates they`re down.

A win is now neccessary at Arsenal
