David Whelan,
Said that he sold the club in “perfect” condition and that he does not understand how the side have ended up in administration.
The 83-year-old also confirmed that he is keen to assist
and will “stick his nose in”.
He added:
“I thought they were going to invest in the club and keep it going,
invest money and try to get them back in the Premier League,
and now this…
I just cannot understand what they’ve done.
It’s just so sudden.
“When I sold the club it was in a good condition, perfect.
“I’ll have to stick my nose in a little and have a look at what’s going on,
and see if I can find out what’s caused it.
I’ll have to try,
Because the people of Wigan will be in absolute shock, as I am.
“Wigan is Wigan.
I built the stadium and it’s named after me, the DW Stadium,
so I’m going to have to see if I can help in any way shape or form.
“Wigan going out of business,
it’s something you cannot comprehend.
I won’t let that happen.
The town of Wigan cannot let that happen.”
