From what I understand, Whelan is suffering from a serious medical problem which is not the same as going "potty" as you seemed to think.

I may be critical of him over his ownership of the Stadium, but I have also have respect for anyone suffering from a serious medical problem.

So you accept he sold the club due to said condition and not because he got bored? Or will you shift the goal posts again?

Do you accept that he started process of selling the club after the 2013 season by selling the better players on dearer contracts to lower the wage bill and make the financies of the club look more atrractive to potential buyers.

Nothing to do with getting bored, more to do with club losing money in the Premiership and getting rid like he did with his Supermarket and JJB businesses when he could see the writing was on the wall as more recent events have proved.

So is IL getting ready to sell us by balancing the books amd making sure we don't lose money?

I would also imagine Latics lost most of their best players after 2013 because they got relegated, didn't come back up and then got relegated again.

If he wanted to take money from them why did he spend the parachute money as opposed to pocketing it?

It fell because the well known person who was remaining in the background but investing most of the money withdrew his backing after the administrators had accepted the spanish consortium offer which resulted in the football authorities not accepting the sale as they were then left in the position of not having enough money to complete the purchase.

What criticism this administration company has received has been jusitified with the way they have handled or should I say mis-handled the sale.

If I don't understand something well enough to comment, then you definitely don't

I know someone who operates in the same circles as Krasner and that last statement on Friday has his fingers all over it. It was embarrassing, especially the use of the term "Fake News" (capitalised which tells you the person who wrote it is a huge backside).

"He absolutely loves the limelight and has by far the biggest ego of anyone I have every known" are the nicest things my friend mentioned. I would have to ban myself if I wrote the rest.

Wasn't he involved at Leeds as well years ago (the football club I mean)? I'm pretty sure that didn't go well as they lurched from one farce to another in admin.

Not good for us, with no staff working there how are we supposed to play in front of a crowd even if we get the covid go-ahead ? Would the admins allow IL to bring his own match day staff in ? https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/footba ... il-3154512
