I might be OK with danson so long has he does not leg the rugby fans hang their rugby rags from South stand
Turn the stadium into a rugby museum put in cherry and Shute seats
Or.name the stadium after testing parkStarting to soften your tone now? Give it a couple of months and you’ll be that glad to have a club, you’ll be sat on a red seat at the New Central Park Stadium with a Warriors Club Crest carved into it.
How long would you work for nothing ?
If I was safe in the knowledge that I was at the front of any creditor queue for money, quite a while. And when there are assets like the stadium and the training ground and even the DW statue, then any one of those could be sold and my salary would be covered.
That said, I dont see a host of clubs beating the door down to sign either of those, even on £500 a week.
Fine. As I said on the other site, if it happens anyone with that attitude should leave and make sure the door doesn’t slap their arse on the way out. And never come back.
And for clarification – that also includes any Latics haters from the red side.
Oi Judas, you turned your back on us years ago but still hanging around like a bad smell!
Still here. You seem to be quiet though Ste – no office blocks or statues to go and shout at?
Were close to the point were any player not been paid can have their contracts terminated.
This will mean any player we could command a fee for can leave for nothing. This guy has completely catastrophically destroyed this club.
Not only the points but basically we won’t have 1 player left not a soul. At this rate we’ll go past the 30 day transfer embargo so next season we will only be able to sign free agents and loans.What an absolute turd of a guy
Wyke & Magennis are going nowhere CW. They know that whatever happens, their grossly oversize pay will be settled, ether by current owners, new owners or by an admin firesale when they are at the front of the queue.

gents, its time to stop thinking about biting the hand that might feed you. Danson or Leneghan are a far better option than fizzy pop mon, or these shysters currently holding the keys to the castle.
At least with local owners and the support of the local MP, you have half a chance of coming out of this still a football league team.
We missed our first wages payement way before last October more like March 2022 so it happened when we were right up there knocking on the promotion door, this is what happens when you get it oh so wrong financially.
I think the truth will come out soon enough as to who did the spending and which people took huge payments out the club bonuses etc by bringing in players in all honesty we didn’t need.
I can categorically tell you that, this is a much bigger mess than last time. For months the bills have been piling up behind the door to the point their now not been paid and havent been for a while.
Administration won’t hang on while we drip feed them money from the sale of assests because we don’t have anywhere near the assests we had last time and unlike last time were the bills stopped been paid over night, these bills stopped been paid over months.
If Begbies come knocking that’s it it’s game over for us that’s unless someone steps up with millions and that’s just to clear the debts nevermind bring in players.
Someone needs to step up to the plate and show their money, as someone previously mentioned how’s about Whelan giving Sharp the money and bring Jackson back ?. Let’s face it, DW not getting any younger and you can’t take it with you.
Out of all the sh1t we’ve been through I honestly fear for us. With little assests to sell just to keep the club running and what players we do have will be allowed to leave free anyway (non payment of wages) then there’s nothing to sell bar the stadiumUp steps Lenagan and Danson to finish us off
That would be a sad sad day for the clubA great post until you drag Leneghan & Danson into it, implying that they have any role in this.
Its 100% down to Wigan Athletic. From Whelan selling to money launderers to the current owners and their bullshit to some of the fans who whip up this anti-rugby tripe and have egged Talal the liar on, massaging his and Brannigan’s ego’s. The best thing for you now is for a local guy with short arms and deep-ish pockets to buy the club, then run it tightly, sack off Wyke, Power, McLean & co and play kids. With the support you have, there is no way on earth you should be going bust, unless you fail to cut your cloth accordingly. Similarly, 8-10,000 wont see you survive financially in the Championship. Spend some time in the lower league sorting your shit out and come back stronger when you are in a position to do so.
Surely its got to be better than some 20 year old who has no money and his most successful business is flogging cans of pop at the school tuck shop.
FFS – you really couldnt make it up!
If you had around 50 years to live and the next 12 months would be the last chance you have of earning enough money to secure the next 5 years of your life would you walk away from the wage?
Season Ticket funds account for approx £1.5m, however only a fraction of that will have been handed over at this point due to the instalment plan. They might have £150k if they are lucky.
We are not asking them to plough endless amounts of money in ,just live within our means and gradually progress.
You could count the number of the 92 football league clubs that live within their means on one hand, and probably have fingers to spare. As long as stupid wages are paid relative to income at the turnstiles, sponsorships and any other revenue streams, then you have a failed business model. However, unless stupid wages are paid, then you end up with lesser quality players and tumble down the football pyramid.
In terms of local owners, they have been conspicious by their absence for the past 7 or 8 years, since Whelan decided to sell up, but only to someone with the best interests of Wigan Athletic at heart. I know you dont want to hear it, but he started this process by flogging the club to someone that didnt meet his stated criteria. You’d have been in a better place financially with the Whelan family still owning it and playing L2 football.
The softest and most gullible fans in the UK are now moaning on a forum about points deductions, we should have been kicking off months ago regarding how the club has been run.
No chance at Wigan Athletic lets just sit back, moan on a forum and hope things get better, these lot we have in charge know we are a bunch of wankers and we will believe anything.
If you love the club get off your arse and do something, not buying a season ticket won’t help!Any other clubs fans would have been protesting, no not us, shit scared of us going in to admin again (which is going to happen anyway) and/or be so so grateful to the owners for bailing us out, Fuck em!
Pray enlighten me as to what you personally are doing, apart from saying something needs to be done? I offered to vote for you if you were brave enough to put your name forward for the Vital nomination, with a seat at the top table on offer – hell, you’d have even been able to ban me as your first act, yet still you declined, instead preferring to try and provoke a reaction over Sunderland losing in the play-offs (y’know, that competition for successful sides).
Man up – or shut up.
