:conf: It's been a very worrying week for me ! I don't understand our club anymore.31 year old Bryan Fletcher...as already mentioned, there are more than one.I have just been directed to a link on the Manchester Evening News web site entitled 'Reds paln move for Fletcher', it seems he is going to Salford ???I thought you wanted rid of him, along with Lindsay, betts and most of the current squad? Make your mind up!But part of the report goes on to say "Meanwhile, wigan owner Dave Whelan has recieved approaches from 3 people representing consortiums believed to be keen on becoming involved with the Warriors, if the towns soccer team makes it to the Premiership.
Whelan who owns the Warriors and Wigan Athletic insists there is nothing on the cards 'AT THIS STAGE, WITH THE LATICS STILL CHALLENGING FOR AUTOMATIC PROMOTION' He has made it clear that he will never neglect the Warriors and their Chairman Maurice Lindsay".at the JJB. Irrespective of who owns the club, we have a 100 yr lease. We have a little time to plan for what happens after that runs out.
Hold on to your hats people, looks like the under investment could be part of a larger picture !!!!!
We deserve to know what the future holds for this club, if DW sells out to a consortium, where will we play ? This is just one of the many questions which will need addressing.If you believe that everything reported on the internet is a "fact", no wonder you have trouble understanding the concept.I know certain people will want to have a go at me again, but this is not IMO this is facr as reported by the MEN today !!!!!
:conf: :conf: :conf: :conf:
Wigan RL don't have a lease on the JJB, Wigan Athletic don't have a lease on the JJB, Whelco, DW's holding company hold the lease and as such controll the stadium as a whole,.The stadium company is now in it's 6th year therefore, any agreements with the Lottery grant people is now null and void, as I believe it only stood for the first 5 years !
This is the main point I am trying to make. Premiership football was reported to be worth £35 million a year to Bolton the last time they got promoted, the same size stadium at the time to the JJB, this is big money, and as such I was just drawing attention to the statement DW had made ie "not at THIS stage"
I hope my fears are unfounded, but I have this awfull feeling !!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers !
