Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Dave Whelan te patunga o tētahi hapa whakamā i roto i āna tuhipānui whakamutunga hei tumuaki o Wigan. I tukuna e te kaipakihi 78-tau te mana o te karapu e whakawehi ana ki te heke ki tana mokopuna i tenei wiki i muri i nga tau 20 i te wira. Engari i roto i tana korero whakamutunga ki nga kaiwhaiwhai, i timata ia ma te manaaki i nga kaitautoko me nga kaimahi o Cardiff City - i te wa e takaro ana a Wigan ki a Leeds! Ka wehe atu a Dave Whelan i te papa i muri i tana korero ki te mano i tana kēmu whakamutunga hei tumuaki o Wigan Athletic. Ko David Sharpe te tumuaki hou o Wigan Athletic whai muri i tana tupuna a Dave. Ko Cardiff te karapu whakamutunga o te rangatira o Wigan a Malky Mackay - i peia ia e ratou i te Tihema 2013. A kei te tirotirohia te tangata Scotland e te Rōpū Whutupaoro i waenga i nga whakapae mo te tuku i nga karere kuputuhi whakahāwea, whakahāwea, whakahāwea hoki i a ia e whakahaere ana i Cardiff. I tīmata a Whelan i tana hōtaka mā te kī: 'Kia pōwhiri mai ki te DW Stadium mō tā mātou tukinga kāinga tuarua i roto i ngā rā e rima. 'I tēnei pō ka pōwhiri mātou ki a Cardiff City me ō rātou kaiwhaiwhai i haere mai i Te Tonga o Wales mō tētahi atu whakataetae nui o te Sky Bet Football League Championship.' I mua noa iho i te tīmatanga, ka eke a Whelan ki te papa ki te tuku i tētahi kōrero whakamutunga ki ngā kaiwhaiwhai i a ia anō. I whakawhiwhia a Whelan ki te whakamoemiti a nga kaitautoko o te kaainga, katahi ka haere ia ki te pokapū-pokapū me te hopuoro i roto i te ringa. He āhua ātaahua a Whelan i mua i tana tomokanga ki te papa - ā, i roto i tana hōtaka e kī ana i pōwhiri ia ki a Cardiff. 'Mauruuru koe mo nga mea katoa,' ka mea ia. 'Mo nga tau 20 kua hipa, he tino tautoko koutou. 'Kei te maumahara katoa tātou i te wā i tākaro tuatahi ai mātou ki Springfield Park, ā, i hokona e au te karapu, ā, ko tā mātou tuatoru mai i te pito o raro o te wehenga tuawhā. 'Mā tō koutou tautoko, me ngā kaitākaro me ngā kaimahi katoa, ka hangaia e mātou tēnei taiwhanga, ā, ka whawhai mātou ki runga ki te Pirimia Rōpū. E waru ngā tau whakahirahira i te Pirimia, ā, e rua tau ki muri i whakahokia mai ai e mātou te FA Cup ki Wigan. I tenei wa, ka tiimata te roopu nui mai i Leeds ki te tarai i a Whelan. Engari i whakautu ia...
