Dave Whelan features in a book by the late Mike Gregory entitled 'Biting Back'.
I suggest you read the book before welcoming any involvement from Dave Whelan.

I've heard that DW is very upset about the rugger chaps cutting up his beloved footy pitch and that he is buying Wakey so that he can move Wigan RL here.
I've also heard that it was the Man City owners who are interested.Well I may as well talk gibberish because everyone else is and also knowing DG very well I would say there's not an hope in hell.
