Could of been worse, at least there's no chance of Mark Hughes taking over!

I do feel for the fans but tbh I hope the chairman rots in hell

He broke his leg you know

Pity it wasnt his neck. I dont usually print my dislike of people on here, live and let live but in his case I make a definate exception.

What has he done that would deserve 'rotting in hell'?

Will post later winston but I follow other sports than football. Check Orrell Rugby union on Wiki the wheelan years and let me know of any sports fan who would have done that.

Okay, will do - cheers.

Whelan the person is a loathsome figure. Whelan the chairman has done a fantastic job for Wigan Athletic.

And for Wigan Warriors it seems. Unfortuneately not so much for Orrell. Mind warriors got a nice new training ground on the cheap

Why loathsome? Same reasons as above?

I generally dislike the man because he has a huge silly mouth on him.

Whelan not Phelan.

Interesting read. I'd like to hear Whelan's version of events though.

That and his bigoted views.

Care to elaborate on the bigoted views?

I read our Rene was being linked to the job as well, hopefully he doesn't leave United though.

Trying to find some direct quotes.

Cheers - just interested... have seen a few people say they don't like him, but never really understood why.

Well, to say you can find anything on the internet, I'm having a bit of a hard time finding some of the things I know he said.

Most of the search pages were filled with what he said during the Suarez/Evra incident which, whilst stupid and mildly bigoted, aren't too offensive.

He sh it all over the rugby when Wigan got premier league, all the egg chasers I work with were happy Wigan got relagated.

Wheelan is a class 1 gob sheyite.

Whelan is despicable and while he is a part if the club I will wish them nothing but misery.

To be fair, if Wigan did get Phelan, he would likely be getting a lot of advice off Sir Alex.

Whelan is one of the biggest hypocrites there is in football, I have a real dislike of these as well. I'll try and dig some links out for you Winston.

I genuinely don't care for Wigan or whelan

Craparge support both home and away.. Glad they are down.

And where to begin with Whelan... Is it the fact that he mentions he broke his leg more times then saying hello yes. Also that he said Martinez was one of the top managers in Europe?! Is he having a laugh?! He's won 25% of his games with Wigan and flatters to deceive

Just watching the euro u21's is Shhhhhhhteve convinced he's foreign now?!

Leave him alone.
Dave Whelan is far too modest and self effacing to say it himself, but his cup final was tragically ended when a dirty Wolves player deliberately broke his leg.
Not a lot of people know that!

He hasn't broken his leg has he? Well why didn't he say?

I can't believe he kept that to himself...
