If Dave Whelan cared so much about the future of Wigan Athletic, he would never not have sold the club, but did so because he could see that the club was going downwards both financially and in attendances and he had achieved what he wanted to achieve in winning the FA Cup.
I will be very surprised if he makes any attempt to re-purchase the club as it will mean a lot of major investment to get the club to maintain its future presence in the top two divisions as proved by the demise of neighbours Bolton Wanderers who are a bigger club than the Latics.
What supporters of Warriors Warriors and Wigan Council should be more concerned about is the future of the DW Stadium.
