I agree with @jaw here. Whelan was 81 and had done right by Wigan for what 20+years? He sold to what was by all accounts a reputable business who have hit harder times since then judging by their financial performance. I think they gambled on Wigan getting promoted, that didn't happen and then have tried to fudge it from there

I politely disagree. If you sell your car to someone who uses that car 2 years later as a getaway car in a robbery that doesn’t make you complicit or an accessory to that robbery.
Would it have been different if it was a consortium fronted by, say a Peter Coates from Stoke on Trent?
