Would have been nice to have been a simple Wigan Athletic purchase but face it nothing is ever quite what it seems in the crazy world of football finance.
It’s really not complicated. Various parts are owned by different companies so that if one fails the rest don’t fall. So if the fooiball club were to go broke (which thanks to sound financial management at the moment seems unlikely) then the stadium and the training facilities are not at risk of having to be sold to service any debt.
