        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.

                The sale of WAFC is now the biggest worry and this needs to happen quickly but by who?
                Buying an expensive business where the only income can be selling your assets for the foreseeable future will require both someone totally dedicated and totally loaded.

                  They must be confident to risk 500k

                  I can’t help but think that maybe there is a local benefactor could well contribute. Someone who doesn’t want now to be actively engaged in running the club long term, but who initially pledged he would help in whatever way he could. If only there were someone like this already pulling strings behind the scenes :)

                  They would be confident if our Name was Sheffield Wednesday. They would have a reduced points deduction in our situation.
                  Us in their situation? Well we would have lost 21 points weeks ago.

                    He could get it back for peanuts and sell many assetts and players to streamline the club.
                    It is worrying the shit these crooks have left us in with no income for the foreseeable future.
                    Just staying on until now they would have had players to sell for acceptable fees etc to finance the club.
                    There is something much much more that as gone on than simply giving up on an idea three weeks in. What? who knows? But there is a strong smell of something really dodgy that went on.

                      So the independent panel are as inept as the EFL.
                      Will the same idiots make the decision on our fate too?

                        Brentford and WBA didn’t help us there on that score but us conceding a late goal and Luton scoring a late goal helped us even less.
                        Those two awful performances against Luton too could see us relegated and the Hatters safe but safe only because those idiots pulled the plug with three weeks to go and the ridiculous punishment for going into administration that didn’t give us an advantage. Surely we can win an appeal and the sides who just weren’t good enough over 46 games go down.

                          Cheers Mutty. Was watching news last night and we have NE news in Alston.
                          Donald is certainly digging his heels in for the money he wants to sell Sunderland for. Now it isn’t so long ago he came in and was regarded as a bit of an hero. Its hero to zero in no time. So it looks like another who went in for the glory and prestige but without much substance and :unsure: reliability on the huge season ticket sales and parachute payments. Seems like there’s more shit housing going on with owners than on the pitch. Hoping with the expected fall in season ticket sales your fans don’t end up in the shite like us.

                            So 21 PTS. But wait, they are a big traditional club so it looks like 9 PTS at the most.

                              We will win them both.
                              Then wait and win the points appeal.
                              Koukash will take control.
                              We will keep the spine of the side.
                              Keep our best youngsters.
                              then push for promotion next season.

                                Well put Roy and thas why its so strange theyve done this. Whoever is behind this scam could have sold everything off bit by biht. Players, training ground, club, stadium and academy which would raise so much more than a percentage as a creditor they would get from the administrators.

                                  Warriors are not making any offers. They can’t afford any offers.
                                  Football unfortunately is not a parochial sport/business anymore and requires lots and lots of money, again unfortunately.
                                  Sky and the Premier Greed have totally ruined our sport.
                                  Even Uncle Dave pulled out because of the crazy amounts of money it takes to run a club.
                                  No matter how much a romantic notion of a locally owned club sounds it will take a lot more than Mr Pollard’s wallet to run.
