Your comment is incorrect as when the Latic's were in the championship, Whelan was buying players which other clubs could not afford. In fact at the time, Oldham Athletic was doing better then the latic's for most of the season. However, by the end of the season they ended up in mid table as a result of having to sell their best players to ease a bad financial situation.

Having said the above, you only have to look at many of the clubs in the Premiership, where the new owners don't care what they spend in order to buy success.

The problem for Whelan is that he is no longer one of the richest men in the Premiership like he was when the Latic's did well in getting promoted.
