I’m afraid this could be the final nail in the coffin for Wigan Athletic.
We need to find a new owner yesterday with mega deep bottomless pockets. We have no money, no crowd, no match day money, no manager, playerss leaving daily, TV funding slashed, players fire saled and clauses to allow them to leave cheap or free. Players been sold for nothing.
A new owner? Jesus !! , as a business you would have to have your head seeing to to take us on. I fear for our future truly fear. We need someone in asap or we will for sure be the new BuryWhilst our income has been massively slashed, so will our outgoings (I’m presuming that players have relegation salary cuts) both on and off the field. There isn’t anywhere close to the same amount of staff needed to run a L1 club and whilst there are no fans at games there is hardly a need for any staff.
Wages will be much lower for the players and I doubt we will see any big names come in. We may still see a few players leave though which will up the income and some of the young lads that get their chance may put themselves in the window enough for a mid-season move.
The big question will be whether the new owners can find enough money to build a squad that is capable of getting out of L1 in a year or two where they can start to make money from their investment.
All ifs and buts of course but so is any business. If you’re buying a football club then you already know you won’t be making too much money off the back of it.
If Lenegan buys the club, i will never step foot in that stadium again!
Get it bought Pollard lad.
Peterbro owner on twitter saying appeal won Wigan stay up Barnsley down thank your QC. And
Not just a rumour eitherI’d have a word with your source. Sounds like he’s been on the same stuff Bullitt drinks.

For that alone, I’d happily stick a few quid into IL’s purchase fund.
I’m so sick. Done with football, have been for a while really apart from Latics. I hate the corruption and injustice, and all the top clubs, and most of the non top clubs.
Of course next game we have I’ll be back at it kicking every ball and trying to plot how we’re gonna come back and kick everybody’s ass!
F@c£ the efl
In reality we would have little chance of surviving in the championship next season which would put us in league 1 season 2021-2022.
Fingers crossed we will get a new owner thats ambitious soon and look immediately for promotion back to the championship you never know.With a transfer embargo on top of everything we’ll be waiting a while before we’re in a position to mount any promotion challenge unfortunately. No matter what division we are in.
You’d be watching rugby only if he buys it. He wants the ground not the club, we’d be with Bury
In which case if Koukash buys it (a St Helens fan), he should put the Cuckoo’s rent up as his first job.
I’m with Bullit; Lenagan doesn’t appeal to me at all, and I might just vote with my feet because I cannot see anything in it other than Lenagan’s self interest. I remain to be convinced !

F@c£ the eflMy feelings exactly Edwards. I stopped watching the restart after the cringeworthy crap they were coming out with such as zoom calls of fans watching on TV and fake noises. It was all catered for the full kit wearing TV fans and I would imagine most match going fans saw it for the farce that it was.
Once our administration kicked in though it meant something and I pretty much kicked every ball we kicked for the rest of the season. My heart rate (sat down on the couch) during that Fulham game was 120bpm at its lowest. I think I would have probably keeled over if we had nicked it late on.
I never once thought we would win this appeal and the cynic in me looks at some of the decisions in those last two games when survival was in our hands and wonders just “if” because I have never trusted the powers that be because as a club we just don’t fit into their narrative. Northern, small, no fans, weren’t in the top flight in 1980.
If the worst does happen and we are unable to find a buyer then that will probably be me done with the sport until we find a phoenix club.
Feels a bit like the end of the world tonight, but the administrator has talked about some potential buyers may prefer a start in league one, don’t buy that myself! Well we now have to wait and see what the ownership negotiations bring and what revenue they can likely expect. The next few months with no Match day revenues will kill some clubs, let’s hope ours isn’t one of them. Just looking at the maths though someone needs a big wedge of cash to buy it, pay the football creditors and run the club without match day revenues for an undefined period. An awful lot of cash.

I remain to be convinced !I’m more concerned about Koukash sticking to the FFP rules and not spitting his dummy out when he can’t buy success as he did at Salford

We only get the embargo if we don’t pay our creditors when we exit administration
It’s simple, unless someone comes in in the next few weeks and buys the club were joining Bury AFC.
Dont forget we have no match day income so how admin will go wild selling. And my question is, how do we pay everyone while were in League One ?Soon we’ll be playing Bury and Bolton in the North West Administration League.
At least it won’t be corrupt will it?
Yes it probably will!We have to fight back and ram our success down the elf’s throat!
