The kickoff there at 8 o'clock so around the city Liverpool Road might be a bit busier northbound on the M 6 between the Oxford junction 19 towards new dollars junction 20 which of Apache slow traffic around that area to the M 67 looking slow as ever westbound around Denton island and a point failure and in about 2 minutes to journeys on north and around Bolton and the updates let me know if you count the number is 016-129-3649. We use the medium which is just bullshit it's so common to support 6 especially once a night we did a Bolton special on Wednesday and then we woke up this morning to the news that it's all been approved their end in Hong Kong by the international entertainment Corp and they will take over we're going at it we expect officially next Wednesday but for now we have that statement from David Sharp today that says that it's an end of an era for the man currently at the top and we're going to fight it he's going to step down 23 years the will and family have been a part of Wigan Athletic for 995 moving away from Springfield park to the D.W. Stadium several promotions all the way up to the Premier League they spent 8 seasons there they want to F.A. Cup OK couple of allegations but they've had a couple of promotions since then as well and of course when he only won last year and doing very well in the Championship this season one of those statistics one of those credits one of those triumphs of the wailing family that I just read to you just then was that F.A. Cup victory back in 2030 and you can have your say on the memories of the wheeling family our 800 to 18 Double Double 5 nights but let's say a good evening to the man who you can speak to as well on that phone number he will need a F.A.

Radio my Facebook page you can you can say hello to that just like Vanessa from Brazil Good evening to you all the way on the other side of the world. Dave before that cup final Dave Whelan that is these 2 Davids involved David Whelan David Schardt David Whelan is the the ground out and the previous owner we cannot let it David Sheff is the current chairman we should say does. What did he speak to you about that dream before you went out for the cup final day. Yeah I remember in coming to change rooms before the Cup Final and it just said the little bit chilly go by told by his his story and he said you know that's one of the biggest regrets that he's got a never you know fulfilled a dream for himself and you know I'm going now and see one of the toughest there's a lot to lift the cup and I said to him you know you can put that memory to rest now you've taken your own club to the F.A. Cup final and we won it and you can see the beam small in his face and you know how much it meant to him we are trying to get hold of Martinez of course we can the most famous manager that you could say after everything he did including that F.A. Cup victory he'll have strong memories because he was a player at the club as well. Do you what if you are the new owners coming in and what is the number one priority how do they make sure they sort of continue that legacy that family legacy that the shops and Whelan's of have instilled that we're going to let it. Keep as a family club you know we're going to always been known as a soft family club a welcoming club. And the brand of football that they tend to try and play or figure Williams would of done very well and I know you're going to give up the club to any anybody and who knows actually how they the new owners will come in and how they'll treat the club and I'm sure they'll progress the club and I'm putting you know the club even stronger than it is now so let's just give you an idea of what's what's coming up tonight hopefully as I said Roberto Martinez will be it's very shortly Paul Kendrick we can post will speak to him as well this afternoon will speak to you the fans give us a ring I want 102 when I double to double 5 want to hear from you Michael Brown Stephen Warnock all former players Raymond sayas a former manager as well as one of our We're going to let a reporter here at B.B.C. Radio Manchester Paul Roll he'll join his a little bit later on so welcome to the show we're also on Facebook to say hello that gives you comments you know outstanding memories. All of the Whelan family I mentioned Paul Kendrick in the way composed was made saying let's bring him in now even Paul baby Mike I miss him boys also with you tonight on B.B.C. Radio managed to Paul you've been following the story as close as you have you've got the close connections to the club 1st of all give us give us an overview of the day so far Wow it's been incredible I mean this day has been coming for pretty much 13 months since rumors of the whaling family apparently you know being willing to to invite offers for the club it's taken this long to you know people been speculating why has the deal fallen through what they've moved on to the targets. It's just the status happens to say that long of a say would it be in a different continent different time zone you know different language and stuff so it's taken as long as it's taken but obviously we got wind in the last few days that there was going to be this E.G. M. Over in Hong Kong we were told it was going to be a formality and overnight obviously that came to pass 99.9997 percent of the shareholders were in favor something we can say that's you know pretty fast in the case of how came to take over the club and Elvis say today it's just been a whirlwind from the moment the the I.E.C. Guys put it on the on this on the Web site on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange it's just been a blur we're going to take of obviously had a lot of time to prepare for this day they've had interviews ready with David shot David will and then so many emotional scenes you know Facebook posts Twitter posts and it's just been a really interesting day emotional day one that we've we've been ready for for about a year but I think you know when you actually see the words of David Sharp and you see Dave Whelan speaking so it motion really about you know what a horrible day it's going to be to leave it really does have a home for the women family are no longer going to be involved and you know for a lot of weakness you know they will never have seen awake enough to see it without the women family so the end of an era and very much change in the air we've got I mean some voices and I think opening counts and you can speak to the way. 2 when I double to do a 5 pull away confounders and we can report so that you are missing was part of the one of the greatest achievements I think it's fair to say in a week in athletics. Be that ultimate legacy they achieve that dream in the F.A. Cup I think it has to be I mean every time you go to the D.W. Stadium now there's a big statue of Mr Whelan out front with the F.A. Cup and you know for those of us who you know perhaps still can't come to terms with the fact that it happened it's living proof that it did and obviously whatever anyone mention the women family it's going to have to be the F.A. Cup of this so many other. Things that we can celebrate I mean we've gone out we're going to a Web site today what was the greatest achievements and we were trying to listen it was like getting promoted to the championship which was fabulous at the time then the next choice was getting promoted to the Premier League which again was fabulous staying in the Premier League for a is winning the F.A. Cup taking Wigan Athletic into Europe and it was kind of all of them individually were fabulous but going on the back of the just unbelievable it's really hard to pick one obviously you'd have to go for the F.A. Cup you know personal play if you know C. Were going to fancy playing you know Boise leading them out against Rubin kids than And still to very given dates just incredible to think that 20 years ago this could have happened then it's something that you know we're all privileged to have witnessed you know obviously Boise you know a central figure in parts of it and it's just it's I don't think it's a day to be sad today I think it's a day for to be happy that it's happened and just the fact that you know we can still we still got the memories still never said that away from us and the names on the cult that will be there forever and just you know from there you know the town with the messages from the town today it's been fantastic thank you Mr Whalen and family and I think that sums it up really is just one of complete gratitude to to a great man and his family members and yeah I got to agree with them when they're reeling from done for the football club it's incredible one of the before for the town and yes could be the F.A. Cup success and the pain in your. Little Wigan as you got to say and then this takes him to the Premier League and he would have 4. Years ago when I played in the lower leagues. You know when we I'm sick of the club he said is going in the Premier League and if we lost him so you know fulfilled a dream of a club in the Premier League as well as the F.A. Cup as well as Europe you've done a fantastic job and his memory will live on forever. Agree about Paul Gazza lately all of a sad I mean it doesn't matter what he speaks you know one of the legends of the club like boys you're just a fan on the straight it's the same message it's you know just signed for being part of it amazed that it happened live on the memories forever and it just sums up we're going to fight so you know the club but it's a town that we are just just fabulous and just. If it takes a day like today to kind of just step back and say actually it's worth thinking about how this actually happened to it you know it's a relatively small lower league club that has enjoyed 2 decades that it has I mean the fans are saying tweeting today that you know we're going to fly to fans and live in the dreams of all the club's fans and you know without being cheesy it's true you know this is. What dreams are made of and it's actually happened to our football club and it's it's absolutely fantastic fantastic ball can you give the winning post thanks very much for your time and enjoy Sunday will be a big here on a big fat while we're on it we're going to get into Leeds like thanks and Paul can you can we can post your news on B.B.C. Radio managed to you can join and say I want 102 want to double to double 5 let's hear from you this evening your memories of the wheeling family and all that they've achieved Wigan Athletic Danny angry on Facebook says this is a great day for the club now let's get them back into the Premier League and I think it's going to be one of the targets of the new owners isn't it give them caved in those Premier League days back Yeah definitely you know families put the foundations then and show a company post and the new unit will come in now and the 1st thing although they won't do is put him back in the Premier League and. The teams doing what the. And hopefully fingers crossed I can accomplish on this not missing in the next year fingers crossed indeed let's speak to Christmas she's a Wigan Athletic funny thing to Chris highlight here are our more I mean how are you excited or sad what was the other writing emotion we can fans today I think it's a bit of both these up and down it's one of those my pharmacy is a football fan with the wind took over 95 and I was 39 and it was when I 1st started saw Scott Stuckey going to games we may want to entice girl it was right you can call your friend that also calls this 20 year journey is coincided with my SO growing up with a football you know. Given to stuff that he couldn't dream about really country well you know what he ever expected we're going to I guess a coke but back in the early days we never got past start the 3rd round we had a couple of. In the eighty's early ninety's a couple of good runs but it was one of those never actually dream that we can win the F.A. Cup So there's those highs but up and downs over the years like Paul country just alluded to the week we lay still the football fans dreams. It's been a bit more interesting and safe staying in the same division for 16 years and not get involved at all Tshabalala really a relegation battle is a little aside on our part with out of sequence and somebody said it was part of the error as well anything you want to say to him or about their own is that maybe you can answer. I don't know and this is Fred said what about the wheelin. Been brilliant as a family for Wigan exchange we saw going to the GO INTO I think it was always a it was all going to happen due to taking a sort of as far as the con Mr Whelan's obviously get a cattle now and it's needed to happen and I suppose it does agree propose a. Sort of a preventive about way because we've seen it with all the cults so she's got their own from those thousands been plain sailing Paul Smith of our foreign owners take over and that's not been great so it was good about the end but I think the time being. Well I like that whole part of the radio show that I use to celebrate the whole year of Mr Wayland ownership but everything that he's done for the club and the town as a whole. And we can as a community couldn't agree more but yeah I'd like start for next week when we take over he does next we'll see and we'll see where we go next Wednesday we are expecting Chris thanks so much he calls on you on your way to work as well these are called A 1000000 to see how his initial reaction for some of either fear are just woken up thankfully on because he's on what Thanks very much because Have your say as well our 800 C. 18 double to Double Fine but speak to a former manager an assistant Nickleby in fact Amazon alone quite well I think Graham borrow even see Graham. Thanks yeah thanks for joining the outset Imus in his ear You are not they are not famous F.A. Cup day as well What's your overriding memories of the of the whaling family. You know when you took over. You know the day to call recently won for them in the Premiership with. Ideas like Michalak and a lot but you did it. In just a couple more years but you know nobody ever I think some people are even Martin and to be honest you're not a person to be laughed at is it certainly is NOT use. When he when he tells you that as a manager when he 1st came and says right I won't probably what did you do you part of that crowd that sort of sneak it in laughed at him not must not really not have a few phone calls from people in football and started well before. I knew it meant business but. You know the politics side of the. Straits where obviously you talk business now I'm not going to say. You know on this I got annoyed a lot of years but a lot younger. Aggressive a. Bit too strong a word but it was in the right manner you know I mean yeah Granges there are 2 sacks Welcome back to in a moment Emerson boys the F.A. Cup winning captain of 2030 Have Your Say couple on Facebook says much respected Dave Whelan and I think now is the overriding thing is it so much respect for the for the way the family says that the massive You can have your say we're on Facebook live on the B.B.C. Radio munched a Facebook page you can also give us a ring our 80218 double to double 5 text is 813 double 3 start the message with the word monk or give us a tweet B.B.C. Sport. Eastern way to Manchester travel updates plenty more we can reactions come on what he saw is sure to be an emotional day for fans players management and the like so injured so you want it doubled suitable 5 if you want your say right now let's down a busy night on the road season at ROBBINS Yeah I was rather hoping I was going to ease off but no we got 2 more problems the westbound M 62 are broken down because between 12 Eccles and 11 for Birchwood causing some of race low traffic one lane blocked it's the outside lane of through this part which means we're going to have to move the breakdown onto the hard shoulder which will cause more disruption and more delays southbound on the M $61.00 this vehicle far has been there for some time still even 2 lanes goes from Chile junction 8 towards 6 for Horry So stop start traffic have your delays around that over an hour probably being added to journeys as a result of that the guys I'm 60 there's lentils there was a deal with an accident between junction 13 for Worsley to 12 for the Echols and gent that again is causing some cases the inside then for this county block they're busy still not clockwise I'm 60 from A to Carrington towards 12 the Eccles interchange the westbound MT 6 is busy as usual so from the hill 4 seasons. And about run towards Bowden expect long delays there at the northbound I'm 6 busy still from last for 19 it was near where I was junction 22 on the M 67 that 2 still quite heavy westbound towards Denton Island later on at the A.J. Bell stadium so sharp taking on service and so a number of people making their way there no doubt so little brought in the M 6 will be heavier than usual and the updates get in touch if you can 181-612-9364 extension 9 it's a new way of listening B.B.C.

Would be a monstrous discipleship with my money right through till 10 o'clock tonight don't room forget it's 7 o'clock we are splitting on digital radio and online you'll have a dead good show with the guys well from 7 o'clock we will continue what is usually the weekend preview on B.B.C. Radio Manchester we usually do that sport at 6 obviously with the good news coming through today that David Sharp's to step down and as the Wigan chairman with the new owners coming in the international Entertainment Corporation we will be carrying a weekend preview after 7 o'clock and then building up to Bolton away at Aston Villa Jack did in an. Interesting tonight from Villa Park Martin on Twitter says I've been watching the club he said we cannot let it since the mid 1980 S. Seen as almost the league and almost go broke so one day Dave Whelan bought the club it was a relief winning the then 3rd Division title gave us a sense that something was happening never thought it would end with the F.A. Cup. We're going to speak to Michael Brown who police didn't want very. Very shortly on B.B.C. Radio Manchester Emerson one way. To use that to describe Dave Whelan was was aggressive not in terms of I guess physical aggression but in terms of ease passion to want the club to do well that when you sat down with him when you signed later on when he brought new players in you had those conversations was was that something that perhaps came across. A person in those way once it demands a high high level standards and expect you to perform to the standards whether it's the football players or stuff around him you know I would say vote the rule of fair cost much more hard work but everybody knew that you need to stay in line of them so I was one was made I'm a good business person and you know a great chairman. Absolutely former teammates they want to know I'm not quite a few times and directly against them by now is a good plan or let the club was also in a fantastic player for the Cup Well especially now even steven you know I mean I am all right many thanks for joining us thanks for coming on last minute appreciate as well right we can athletic Dave Whelan David Schardt see what do those sort of 3 characters mean. I mean that's like a memoir really not so. Good but David Schardt wrote macabre come a it was an interesting can because you got so you. Got to try and get the quote back in her championship and take control of her own case is not your secret such a young person. So quickly was way beyond his years but obviously you probably are they will still help him out or what they did to the town of wakin and the size of the club and the fans that they all shared a credit a family to think this is the right new feeling in athletics was something that was that was needed to help push the club back to the Premier League and a motor on from there. I think when you look at the money out of the chapter States to get you out with that jumping ship it to the Premiership you've got are very very deep pockets Sadly that's the way that way good will have to try to climb has to offer the bigger contracts because besides the fan base compared to what some bases Well yeah it probably is the right thing to do for them because it's probably the hard without those years to come by because we're going to predominantly be town so you think of that I think it's the right thing to do it will have to cope and stop that level of ambition again Dave Whelan and David Schardt they don't address that not they set out to achieve they go into the Premiership they want an F.A. Cup which would be on the wildest dream so I think it's mission accomplished but I'm I think it is and I think they've done a cracking job so we've got to form we can play with Stephen Warnock and I miss him boys let's bring in a 3rd and say good evening to Michael Brown I mean my everything Are you OK well very well may thank you right we're going to see you then this is the question we're asking tonight your memories of Wigan Athletic on that up 23 year ownership of David Whelan and David Sharp on B.B.C. Radio Manchester. Well. You know I remember interest in way again and again censure a great group of players a great squad and it was enough to make a major comeback in the no rationale really knew much about the type of role that they already talk until you actually join the club is extremely Huns on the walls and you know if you want to be still involved we're going to Fletcher is amazing the Chabon and you just look how we how you developed all the areas around and he put them on the map we've got the football in state you know that finished 8th in the Premiership made a medley was a top flight to amazing Chaman I just remember the day that Ben Watson glance in had it's a win the F.A. Cup and probably was the icing on the cake for them for all these aspects difficulty crowd wise to obviously with the rookie talent to keep it going but a maiden achievement we are very very sad but we're going to let's certainly Well let's bring in Emerson Boysen who was the F.A. Cup captain the mention from what Brownie was saying Emson deftly of the They've they've put a club in on a map and he's going to go out on a high you know for the government last year and and the newness will come in the Caucus Foundation then hopefully they can progress the club to hopefully one day back in the Premier League. Bernie Stephen you're going to know. I would I would agree with you know you'd always a box but we got the results of that when you know the cost of this and I know you say at the farm base but they managed to 20000 close and barely a chain managers because the riches of the championship now you know a little bit more difficult. Day we are not single day I'm getting old and I was of a difficult. And it's probably the right time now I think David Sharp would say 10 minutes a young chairman and probably be the 1st to tell you now. Your ideas and. Financial backing into the quote I'm so you Michael Brown thanks so much for your time on B.B.C. Radio Manchester Stephen Moore Not once when we've got you just for a little bit longer on so it's a sense I wonder why we can would have been without Dave Whalen possibly done a trauma a burial possibly even a Stockport as well I think this is got to be commended doesn't it they haven't got the money off of them let's look at the modern day 68 months to Sydney Manchester United Liverpool etc but they pushed above their weight for so long because they were so well financially managed by the owners yet they were they out of vision. Acquirement set out to achieve what they wanted the day when they did it what it needed to take a little bit deeper into the pocket. Because they have the quote heart they did it I think if you had people in a business sense and they were thinking business wise it doesn't make sense to be doing but when you have got that in your heart and you might not decision criminal probe a different point but one thing I'll say about the quote as well from my job. But knew I would has called for a perfect infrastructure ever since the ground the training ground for. Issue. I think is just that you are used to the cloak just that little bit more of financial clout. Or ballplayers but the manager is in charge at the moment in a fantastic job so. There's an agreement in place I.E. Keeps his job and make me keep order call Cook Yeah as far as we understand it will remain in charge of Wigan Athletic and no changes as they want to defend the thanks very much for your time on sport at 6. Pleasure I'm no doubt will speak Stephen again soon for my last 6 and Barry Mawn of course. Emerson F.A. Cup 2013 who was your manager. Trying again so what you Michel Martin is still speak yeah now employed in the cherry games with a trace of goals Terry games every year didn't play last year to come up and support still so plays very well. Not player that's a good evening. For an intense How are you very well might like to join this. You in Wigan Athletic. One of the more famous characteristic come from from the wailing and perhaps the most high since they not only as a player but also as the manager what you achieved that winning the F.A. Cup in 2013 working under the Whelan's What was that like. Well I think it's always difficult it's one of those situations that is difficult to explain in words on I make it just as I think they will and he's. Probably was the reason why we don't I think achieve what we want to achieve and I would say is just someone they have an incredible vision we know everything that he was gone he was done properly and he was very contagious I think M.S.N. Can tell you when he was coming to training on everyone was excited he was homeless seeing someone that he could get inspired for that we can now have the what a player a view what a number it just wanted to spend a bit of time with a team. Of 30 very special story what happened not without that but something that I don't think we'll see it again very very difficult when I came over 95 years ago in 95 and 9095 we were pretty Spanish class coming over on the Bosman ruling and he was so charming and so believable with the Saudi It told us in the face moment in July 95 that he wanted to get we're going to get I think into the Premier League you wanted to get on your ground you wanted to challenge for honest and I'm not going when you're eyeing the old Division 3 and plan begins at spring for thought That sounds a nice speech and a nice body but then when you see what happened with these 20 years reign of 23 now it's quiet incredible that's a reason why we all involved in football to believe in those stories Anderson is Roberto said Never bet so but we did in just a moment he said that the players use that so they get excited almost when the wheel instead of Dave Whelan David Schardt was that was not the case was that how well respected they were Yeah definitely you know when they said he they will in the shop this fall but they will main one when you come in you will indeed might make sure you bring her up to soften you know each of you guys. As a training ground in respect to need to perform he's always got a story to say he's always got something current you with tells you by his own stories his own experience and the biggest thing in the east of the SAY WAS makes you enjoy it you know you go out there doing something you love and makes you enjoy it and then turn around and regret what you what you're doing and you know I think he appeals everybody that ever just want to play for him every want to try the hardest and they should do anyway but he had actually been you know stay in the Premier League for so many years and down to the manager as well but also down to the chairman's he's inspired us to to make sure we keep that we're going to play into that in the Premier League when you will not F.A. Cup Maybe the night of the F.A. Cup victory may be the night after obviously that I would imagine there would have been a bit a chairman manager time what was what was that like what was the conversation how was the after that after you to achieve that for his club. Well there were always very enjoyable conversations because I don't think you get the opportunity as a manager to up a chairman that you played the game and it was in a way so one body could measure the moment very well when you felt that the club in the manager and the players needed a little bit of a. Inspiring message he had doubts when he had to be the father figure you have down when you have to be the demanding we know that is needed in any one football team he could be that so then your so come along with the way that he managed a football club but I would say that I believe everything it was. A really warm human being that he made you feel very much part of his vision and when you're looking at these he just stories that he had. I remember the night after. The F.A. Cup he was almost. A sense of OK that's that's the reason I was involved in this story of a will and is incredible from Plan of breaking his leg and I think of finally went black and then we were walking out though he was leading the team out with a screw up play in the F.A. Cup Final against a champions of England I've got I've got time so he's almost if felt I was a final closure I remember after the game it was almost he felt relieved after all those years to be able to get that happy feeling he had to be taken to hospital when he broke his leg and in those times you didn't ask the information that you have now and he had his football kit with him and he got up in the morning after they said Judy and he asked what was a result and they told him well like the rovers lost the final You lost their final to winning the F.A. Cup final was a bit of closure real satisfaction for the town of We again and you mean what the fans would experience that night but then straight away we were talking about the next game because really it was a quite unique moment in a vehicle my. Not for us because we're going to pick up a final with 3 games to go in the league and we as we always did in the last 34 games we were fighting grouchy the lame to be standing in there in a comic so we had always a nice balance a sense of achievement. Relieved. Us truly happy but then we was focused on trying to perform against Arsenal in the next game yeah. You have such a close connection with the fans you self as a place where you means a lot so you. Do you. Down So Dave Whelan philosophy why you are loved by the club and why you love the club so much. Polities it is because he made this understandable we honestly I think was the number is easy now to see foreign players coming to the British game and set to lean into the leaks than some foreign place settling to the football clubs and that time in 95 it was really difficult to see those sort of cases we arrived in Wigan and we felt we can as a straight away I'm one of the pieces Seaver was received in Bonn and the face league game away at Jenning and saying Jesus is always going to and that was a feeling a feeling that we we said we leave Friday in the town of love we can do what I will to learn the way English you know we are not synonyms get in the thoughts of what the club was and what their club wanted to be and others are really nice human story and when you experience something like this a stage with you forever and medicine will tell you when you want to weaken you understand that you're part of that cope and that family for the rest of the all of your life and that's what probably brings a little bit of a such a feeling for the Sunday because it is an ending of Anita But I think a small celebration and satisfaction on a story that there needs to be stay in there inspiring people to come and just before I let you go. David just spoken we're going to hear from him in just a minute on this very subject but in the ninety's he was only a very young kid and he walked out as a mascot Wiggin and he walked out with you Do you remember walking out with David. I do. Remember that because it was David that Matthew. We always had that almost that opportunity to play football like it's now our i'm mixed extremely proud of what he's achieved as a chairman I don't think they've reached shop he's been given the credit that he deserves it took the football club in a very difficult moment yet to promotions you had to make verdicts of calls. Deep down I'm a bit sad that he's not going to be part of the of the next we're going to slightly but I think he's got a lot to offer someone so young that he's been all his life almost understanding what we're going to lead to get is and what we got out of me is a shame that he's not going to be involved going forward but I'm extremely proud of being a young boy like we we had running around the spring football coming then into the new stadium and then seeing him being a chairman on achieving promotions and then putting the football now in a very good position in the Championship with young players as appointing are a really difficult. Set of a start and then a fantastic manager like BOLKUS is it's become cool you know that I think so I hope everyone celebrates the work that they were chapters done and in the last 2 difficult seasons I'm sure they will revert to modernize the more we can play at home we can manage it thank you very much it's on sports a 16 we really appreciate it. Hopefully hopefully we speak. Soon as well former Wigan player from a good manager I said then in the ninety's but when I was a player the current Wigan chairman David Schardt was a mascot for the club and this is what shop makes of those memories. You know the G.O.P. Doing it it's brutal. Those boots go pretty. Clearly when they go home and I. Mean a lot to me when I was going to even. Know this the ball from the game of the March for. Not sad it's every kid's dream David and if you're listening tonight what a great job you don't know how you're appreciating all this support and wealth the support is coming in for you on B.B.C. Radio managed to after the trouble speak to pull away from family and more from poor. As well and you also from our week in reporter Paul Rowley and Shawn Levy we can find he's also going to come in and speak to us as well about his memories right after the latest travel. The radioman just our travel update so let's get the latest on the roads and isn't it Robin Well we still have this broken down vehicle on the westbound I'm $62.00 from Junction 12 towards the Birchwood junction 11 that's where it is one lane is blocks or traffic use that still we're told in the outside lane so it's going to cause a bit of disruption for some time yet I would imagine the southbound M 612 lanes closed the deal with the vehicle fire between junction 8 for Charlie toward 6 for Horridge stop start traffic around there so do expect delays to say there are severe delays lanes $1.00 and $2.00 remain closed the deal with that clockwise M. 16 accident leaving from Wesley junction 13 towards 12 for the Echols and again causing queues it's the inside line for that still rush hour delays in the clockwise I'm $62.00 in Canton junction 8 towards the Eccles and change junction and 12 and also West one of the in $56.00 looking heavy from the helpful season John about 6 towards boat. At the junction 7 northbound on the M 6 still busy 2 from lim Gyptian 20 towards Haydock junction 23 the usual slow traffic around Dawson Street the Mancunian Way and region road because of the work going on around there and a points for about 10 minutes to journeys if you're heading around the block an area on the trains later on of course. So shocked taking on Saracens kick off at 8 o'clock and the updates get in touch if you count 116-112-9364 extension 9 Richard says. This week's edition of my show features Tom recalling the rule originally only ever released as LP tracks came out of great all coming from the right is telling the production that it did spill in Detroit was quite astounding with so many sensational sides only ever making it. Before being popularize years later by D.J.'s here in the United Kingdom reaching into Motown to go go tonight and it's a great soundtrack to your weekend B.B.C. Radio Manchester. Radio Manchester. With my money right through till 7 o'clock 10 o'clock on B.B.C. Radio much to 95 point one F.M. From 7 on digital radio and online and the guy as well as here with the dead good shows tonight what's been on T.V. On a Friday night this week likely come up as well I miss him boys F.A. Cup winning captain is also with your calls I don't want to it's double to double 5 so we shall start with just that and we shall put Paul Middleton we can found through. Even Mike even though you say in the pool. Michael Billington. Was in the same. Side I went. But I'm just. Saying what's happened since and you. Couldn't have been more wrong. From being. A lowly Cloke we only lowly lowly expelled you know that. They certainly did then it was your understanding that we always have this debate don't we whether it's prime whether it's getting to the Premier League whether it's the winning the F.A. Cup What is the greatest achievement we have done. Definitely will not think that they will live a March that moment in my life time when we want to call on the school last minute anyway a member in the final whistle when I'm around my wife and I said So you know a lot yeah I said yes a lot of a small. Thing and opinion shared by many awaken from maybe maybe some of the we can play as well yeah definitely looking back and now I'm winning the F.A. Cup as it's incredible at the time you don't you don't you want to mention or or you have tons of think Abiud But you know if he want to stay in the Premier League the for best for the club to come back in your career you always want to win something can to win the F.A. Cup and you know some magical moment and that's what the fans and people were really for so fully you are you excited or you sad what's what's the overriding emotion right now. I want excitement right on up I've got questions about the new owners or not they will tell you I mean we've seen take Always before steps in the Far East that haven't gone well so there are probably some trepidation but I'm very very sad that we don't want to be involved I mean obviously the decades tenure was going to come to an end at some point the fact that we would lose in David Chapman lucky day because feels like one of those you don't just see it like a champ and know the from the really feels like one of those saying when I mean Boise was I thought we did a charity war you know he had to flee was in need of Childress goal and that policy was that in David Sharp of that you see as often you don't get out at many clubs you don't know that connection I have to say it's a real shame that it's not going to be yeah thank you Paul thanks for the call tonight on B.B.C. Radio much is still plenty to get through and Sean if he can speak to him in just a moment he's not sound perhaps David you know because he's well loved as we heard from poll that that he that he won't have. A strong hold on the company more of a role within the old if we can apply to things. Off think it's and I respect them for myself because a big loss you know shows his ability came out of you know off so when they did they were willing to step down they were shocked took over and out of a very very difficult time for the club and stabilized and such a young age as well such a young age Jeremy shows his maturity and you know you got to come back into the Championship Yes they can say yes they go really good at the end but the fight I imagine getting back into that into the jump ship again you know you see so many other clubs are full in the way in and gone you know in a bad way and he bounces they brought the club Pittman the right direction appoint a fantastic manager and he's really put a club in a good foundation for the new year new owners come on you know. It doesn't get to other overshadow but it's the Says he's actually done in a in a short space of time and I would talk quite a lot about they were willing but of so you've got make sure you know we've talked about they were shopping the same store breakfast shop if you like hello to you thank you for all you've done and I think I'm sure that is an overriding thought of we can find ourselves going to get to show on live see in a moment to speak to rhyme a tiny this in just a moment while the former Wigan manager of course on his memory system by right be with us from 7 o'clock tonight will also be live at Villa Park Bolton our White Villa for much commentary from $745.00 tonight Bolton against Aston Villa then Jack did and now again and you come to team with the news Jack didn't even jack out yeah very good evening to me in Boise 5 changes for Bolton Wanderers receiving goals valid joints will soon die even prefers incomes week to tail a little book like and newness Bolton began with Johnny King Kong get right back to look at life by week to hopes that long just in front of the bike or you know Buckley the white operate is also too much of the really old and Doug Wilson taught for the Wanderers Jocko in 2013 when the final whistle of blocking you run straight on that page you spoke to the likes of Graham Barrow a couple of players I think you got could be wrong there as well one of them pats. But one of them was Emma sim Boyce your memories of Dave Whalen that we're going to pick on David Sharp as well or you know what I've heard a lot everybody's got to sets and I get a big difficult to argue with any of it everybody will love the old personal favorites in terms of achievement I don't think you can argue with the fact that when at Wembley against Manchester City would be an always will remain a never say be forgotten day in the history of we're going to let it go you know what we're going to have done from a Muslim boys it kept everybody else is the only dream alive that proved it's possible you could never stamp on people's dreams and they've done it by retaining their identity show many clubs now nationally and will play of last there I football you know identity we're going to have never ever done that their roots and their identity and it is a 30 sail in a very short space of time it's a modern day bowling miracle that we're going to let you give it you. Do it and you know I feel a lot down to the will of family and how they want the cup to be run and more and surely they've they've told a new audit were not told the new owners but they put in the air anyway how they won the cup to continue you know by them in and they would keep progress and we got with you from 7 o'clock didn't. Report so it was also covered wagon over the years under the shop ownership as well jock helping you with the build up from 7 o'clock on B.B.C. Radio away and Aston Villa tonight right Paul Rowley all we can report on standby he's undoubtedly got a wealth of stats to give us about the whaling sharp ownership we shall get to them in a minute but he has been argued on for some time that's a good even. A great many formal way good manager of course under the wheel and so and of an era for than today as David Sharp steps away from the club to take over expected to be fully completed next Wednesday what are your outstanding memories of that ownership. I think you know be an ember of it with the club it up particular time when you go back at my 1st pilot mileage and the club is really really struggling you know financially unless they're willing to let me in 1905. Game promotional event 2 years from the 4th Division to the said division and then gradually to build you know the build up of a team of a good squad of players you know the likes of A Little Cayman. Salmon House came into the club suit a bar we're. All good players in county is probably one of the best guidance to take. And the Premier League. I think. We can find certainly not in a long and finest bring in shown you'd agree with that I'd agree completely it's an important point the right makes that the will and family have always had money in currents and the reason why the sullen is that the pope has encouraged football in terms but back at the time they gave the the financial backing Scotland signed these plays the likes of Underland loan SIMON How was 1st raised mansion which was a fantastic forward line for the division that we were playing them at the time but it wasn't necessarily millions that we were going out spend but we were spending the money right and that's the thing that the Whelan's have always done they've always given the club its back and the may not spend. Massive amounts of money like a lot of clubs but the backing was always there for the managers. Last question so yeah. We heard Graeme Barrow saying that they had sort of an aggression towards him but not a passionate aggression in a way that he wanted the call to do well but when Graeme was in charge when the takeover happened from Dave Whelan he said there was an element they really wanted to be in the Premier League within 5 years time it's taken over when when you took over as manager what was that conversation like. Well I think it was you know I think the intention. Of once and you know is to get promotions you know and I mean we made the playoffs when I was you know and I think the expectancy telex John Benson taken off. You know he was expected them but he didn't get it on fortunately you know that was the intention of the chairman. No promotion of making sure. Their chosen the stuff from the toes. That's how we go. Forward a manager thank you very much for your time on B.B.C. Radio watch the rays are under 23 games this afternoon deliver the scans in for Bristol City these days if you're wondering where. We're going to manage it right the man with the stats it's been a 23 year long running for the wheel and sharp family so there's plenty of starts and a pull Rolly on B.B.C. Radio Meister we can report. Evening might have gone at just you can put it into stats you can put it in your own words is all we can find you followed him since the very basic Cheshire League days we're going to exact what water from a overall perspective 1st of all what what has this ownership done for we're going to. It's been an amazing journey let's not forget when Dave Whelan arrived in 1995 the been in the bottom for the Football League the previous season there was still a Springfield Parky playing in front of 1600 fans it was a pretty ramshackle place within a decade that the Chiefs 3 promotions reached the Premier League let's not forget that have 40 isn't only club 25 years in the lower divisions they finished 10th in their 1st season in the Premier League then the Carling Cup final overall 8 seasons in the top flight culminating in the F.A. Cup in 2013 even since then Mike it's been a bit of a roller coaster admittedly but 3 relegations 2 title winning promotions the championship playoffs and as a Cup semifinal a quarter fun as well they beat mantissa. 3 times in 5 years and for good measure Mike they played in Europe I tell you it will make a great movie one. Only one as all we can find what you want to see next May thanks for a low start by the way you didn't fail to deliver when I built you're going to. Well I think the thing is they have left a legacy they have got an infrastructure in place now for the new owners there are no debts everything is paid for the D W stadium the training ground the academy the team is mid table in the Championship which are still thing is way above playing well above its weight at the foundations a solid but you can see why the will and family of Sean's just been saying want to move on the club loses $7000000.00 pounds a year it no longer gets parachute payments from the Premier League Yes there are uncertainties and anxieties for fans it's understandable that but if you want to move to that next stage and that next stage means going back into the Premier League clearly it will need extra investment let's hope the new owners can deliver . We're going to fight a reporter thanks very much for your time short and sweet from Paul tonight Ron so many calls text comments tweets from just Monday says Boise were to love hearts popular never forgotten in the beginning I'm sure Shawn will agree with David Greene with Martin as obvious as once a tick always sick and missing boys is also a common that's come into it as well as a fake It was the biggest moment in the 30 years of sporting Latics I think a lot would agree with the only interesting techno name unfortunately 13 double 3 Start message with the World Bank says F.A. Cup greatest achievement question mark remember from the relegation zone of League 2 to the Premier League in 10 years after the current bottom club of league Michael Steel Town and their supporters if they can even imagine now that is an incredible achievement no name on the textbook thank you very much that's a great point you're missing confirmed it's a fantastic point my 1st March was when we got relegated back to Division 4 as it was one league. And that was a couple years before Dave Whelan took over so. In my June the ride that we've been on the months of the sodomy was a massive part of that for nearly 10 years it's. It just doesn't doesn't begin to be able to be described because it's so much has happened in the 23 years you talk about people's whole lifetimes surround in the football club. I've lived everything football is complete We've done it all apart you could die a happy man yeah apart from getting through to the knockout stages of the Europa League but that's probably the only bit of change spoke about pride and it's in spoke about pride as well let's hear from the man himself then the man who's moved things on at Wigan Athletic David Sharp talking about his pride at the club how it is the main the main word. Is my ground of the moment the vision I just carried on what you asked of me to do but by the book when. The club was struggling financially and to come on a sweeping statement like you the only thing that really made me equal football stadiums but that was a nose a very bold statement and I help and. You know anything come out in a similar could now when you look at usually to this is the equivalent of luck in your book Count your various beat us that's what it was time to take with you nothing all the way for to the family so when you go to get in through the years it's phenomenal and we can look. Up and be a man to the girl because see should be about it's all about him. Up the Mrs. Job but it's not with the job it's the whole business it's my life it is so everything I love is coming into work every day to see the stuff that is different people on the stage in different people joining around and it's going to be you know it's going to be a strange time of it what is time to move on you. Know nothing could last forever as this. We can just look at it and smile which is great phrase don't be sad that it's over be happy that it's happened nothing is what they say I want to add on this come and put it so you both whilst you're more on Facebook we gave was a club to be proud of the years atop the Proud of how to remember it was good positive things to say about. You know May the dream continue. You talk about the legacy Dave Whelan took a provincial football club a lower league football club in a supposedly rugby time which is nonsense by the right response point I. Guess the saving and they compete with the big boys they compete with Manchester United Arsenal Chelsea Tottenham Liverpool and Manchester City and I did a concert and they did it continuously for a decade but stave Whelan's like a saint and that's David charts like a fantastic short lived thank you very much for your time on B.B.C.
