Quote: ROBINSON "It's worth Lenegan buying Latics just to get ownership of the stadium.

I don't care what anyone says, any soccer club that turns over naff all in gate receipts, struggles to attract sponsorship, relies on Sky money and is staring relegation in the face is worth................f@@k all.

Lenegan is astute, Whelan is bored of his plaything and wants rid. He knows it's over. Watch this space.'"


Any club in the premier league could have zero gate receipts and they would still be worth millions. You might not like Latics but if you think they are worth fook all then your clearly mistaken.

They rely on sky money but nearly every sport that is on sky is exactly the same.

Thats the major sticking point, their value will drop dramatically should they get relegated. Thats when IL might get a good deal if Whelan gets desperate to get shut of them because nobody will want to buy them at all then.

Latics haters/bashers also need to bear in mind that if Latics do get relegated and IL buys them that theres a good chance he will get them back up if he does a good a job as he has done with us.

Quote: Wigan28/Leeds18 Andy "How do you work that one out?
Because if Lenegan owns both then he is more than likely going to favour the team he bought first. Hes probably weighing up whether he would be required to screw us over and would he be happy to? Because sometimes Whelan has kicked us out because the FA kicked off not just because hes a tight bum.

Absolute fantastic thinking there. It's that kind of lateral thinking that's going to make this country great again.

So "we" own Oxford united then - superb.

No chance. He will favour whatever suits both parties best. If that means our fixtures moving like usual then it will happen.

Anybody who thinks that if IL buys Latics we will just walk all over them will be in for a massive shock if he does actually buy them.

But it would be better to have the football club's owner in our tent p-ssing out, rather than outside p-ssing in all over us.

You've not read what I wrote, have you?

It will take a miracle for them to still be in the Premier League next season.
