[Archived] Dave Whelan


Recommended Posts

Just watching North West tonight and see that Dave Whelan has bought the struggling JJB organisation back, including putting up his own money to pay back the debts the previous owners ran up. Seems like a good bloke who cares about Wigan and the people that work for JJB, and clearly no fool. Rare. Like Jack though, unlikely to be honoured because he's northern through and through

Indeed. Knighthoods are for ancient drug raddled popstars, queer actors, the occasional retired footballer. Oh and with more than a few arse-licking politicians gofer like Bill Taylor chucked in every year.

I think he has just bought the 53 gyms and 51 adjacent shops and will rename them under the DW brand

And I think he may have wiped the slate clean for JJB`s other shops and they will retain their name
