      A rather Cook like set up, performance and impending away result.

      The same Paul Cook that had us finish 18th and 13th in the championship?

      Set up. One up top, best attacking midfield option playing as a central defender. Performance. No shots on target, insipid individual displays, no service for the lonely striker. Result. An away defeat. Now have we or have we not seen very much the same in the two seasons prior to this?
      Hope we can save the best until January.

          That’s the first name on everyone’s lips Derek.

            New site is not a patch on the old one and this is reflected in the numbers of fans/supporters using it.
            Been a bad mistake all-round.
            Its shit.

              I wonder what would happen if it was the “other” team what was in our predicament?

              We all know what would happen. They would stand up and be associated with them. Like Whelan did when he saved them and gave them a place to play at on cheap rent after they had squandered their Tesco money on paying off debt that bought their success in their glory years.
              Papers,radio and TV would have been full of the tear inducing bilge too.

                Yeung probably only ever owned us on paper. A name just put up there by Choi.
                Choi just finding a way out and a way out with some of the money he has invested and this will be known by various authorities who are getting to the bottom of his scam.

                  Don’t wish to put the mockers on things but have you read the latest statement from the administrators, they say no offer has been made but are in talks with a bidder.

                  The parasites will drag this out for as long as they can on £500 per hour.
                  Almost on Pilkington, Fox, McLeod and Roberts money on that. They’ll have done more hours though.

                    Shame we have no mega rich fans or supporters prepared to take us over. Even if it meant starting with a bare bones crap squad and without 427 hangers on in tracksuits with laptops and bottles of fluids. A back to basics, upset the applecart Latics like we always loved. Less posers with socks halfway down their legs and dozens of squad players never getting a game.

                      If anyone was still in any doubt how bad the situation now is, paragraph 1 of the Administrators’ statement spells it out.
                      If a deal isn’t signed by 31st August they are shutting us down.
                      Short of winning the Euro lottery on Friday not sure what we can do about it.
                      We really are about fecked. Pollard may be our last hope

                      Shutting us down? Yet only a couple of days ago these lot were talking about starting the season in administration and indeed four friendlies have been organised. So they said.

                        He must be struggling keeping the Eggs afloat so can’t really see him being serious about a football club too and a stadium plus other facilities to maintain.
                        Worst thing wrong with it would be the way the press would report it with all their biased and uninformed rhetoric.

                            Wasnt it under similar circumstances he left Portsmouth due to a change of ownership?

                            I think he left because we offered him more money.

                              Peterborough owner has been very supportive of Latics and the treatment by the EFL.

                                Bolton were in administration in 2 different seasons and close season so why are we being afforded no time whatsoever. What is the problem with us. Do we really deserve this treatment. I am scared shitless.

                                I am afraid we are Wigan mate.
                                We are not Sheff Weds or Derby or QPR or Leeds or Southampton or even Bolton.
                                We were never wanted in their club, never welcomed in their club.
                                The EFL and the FA stink as much as the Greed League and their Sky paymasters.
                                Rotten to the core the lot of them.
                                If we get through this they are sure going to know about it. They should know better than to get Latics fans backs up!
                                We will never let anything be forgotten. Nothing will ever be in the past.

                                  They went into administration in May 2019. I can’t find how much they owed but they did owe £1.2m to HMRC who tried to issue a winding up order to them several times.
                                  AFAIA they have yet to be punished for failing to fulfill their fixtures, something which our administrators said would see is kicked out of the Football League.
                                  I’m really not confident of the appeal and think that the circumstances could actually work against us. The owners claimed covid was the reason which I presume under force majeure would be pretty tough to argue against, but the fact they bought us during covid and all the crap that has come out since means we will struggle to argue that. If the club is going in the intentions of blaming the sale on the efl and this supposed bet then I can’t see us winning that either.
                                  Gerald Krasner said last week that he is speaking to Au Yeung before Friday and I think a lot will depend on what he says there.
