Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan admits he's seeking a new buyer.

The Guardian says Whelan is known to be looking for a buyer for Wigan Athletic who can take the club on and, when he says "I'm pushing 75", it is clear he has an eye on his retirement plans.

Whelan's family are owners of the four-star St Brelade's Bay Hotel in Jersey, which has undergone a £10m refurbishment that has recently been completed.
