Baker boy:
''when we where in the championship, many clubs spent far more than latics did. dave whelan,s and his manager,s, guile and good business sense got us to the prem.we got up on a shoestring.''
I'll grant you the ''good business sense'', because, more's the pity, its only about making money to some; but
in fact the season or so before promotion to the Prem , Whelan was paying 182% of the club's income on players' wages . Some shoestring.
