      I think they are getting stick because the fans are being kept in the dark.They are representing us and are a target for people venting their frustrations.The news yesterday virtually guarantees our relegation and possibly our existence yet still the process carries on at a snails pace.No one is foolish enough to suggest the EFL just pass them but why has it taken them so long ?Meanwhile Lisa Nancy thinks it’s good news as we can now move forward ,is she having a laugh ?If any new bidders had the genuine interests of Wigan Athletic at heart they would have put their bid in months ago .

        Bit harsh Mr Barlow ,I’ve got feelings you know !I take your point but why does everything in business have to be as clear as mud ? It’s infuriating.

          Sorry Egg , I still don’t get it ( must be my age ).I understand the selling of Euxton and the chippy but if Company A and Company B are both bought by the Spanish then Latics new owners will own the stadium.If they own the stadium why do they have to pay rent ? Maybe it’s a point the Spanish have been making !

            What I don’t get is that you are saying Latics don’t actually own the stadium but the administrators insisted any new owner must buy the club and the stadium they were not prepared to separate them.If this is not the case what exactly are they buying ?

              Well they rightly should have to with the pittance of rent they been paying for yrs.

              Both clubs pay the same “pittance of rent”

              I think this is a key point.Latics will own the stadium but are expected to pay the same rent.I don’t get it.

                The problem is the longer this goes on the more it’s going to affect our long term future.Certain local parties might be happy with that outcome and will keep it going for as long as it takes.We need it resolving this week ,no excuses !

                  Very suspicious of any new bidders at this stage.The question I have yet to see a satisfactory answer to is why have they left it so late when someone else has had a bid accepted and exclusivity ? Are they just trying to disrupt the process? If the Spanish bid fails I have a feeling they will disappear without trace.

                    I suppose having the six months you’ve had, following a club owned by a money launderer, seeing it almost go to the wall and almost avoid relegation, seeing it flog all its assets until all there was left is an empty trophy cabinet, a stadium that nobody can attend and Gavin Massey, seeing it bottom of the 3rd division being humbled by Chorley and still with the very real possibility that what remains of the club will be liquidated in the near future, then you are due a bit of pleasure.

                    What a shame though that the only pleasure you can take is from the heartbreak of someone else.

                    You sad fuck.

                    Don’t be so soft.We have been on the receiving end from our Rugby friends on many ,many occasions.Never forget the Warriors fans going ballistic after we lost on penalties to Arsenal in the FA Cup semi final.What goes around comes around .
                    As regards your gloating at our current misfortune ,don’t forget we will be back ,bigger and stronger!
                    I won’t swear back at you ,Latics fans are better than that. :whistle:

                      Apparently the only thing outstanding now is the owners and directors test.’Only’,surely should have been the first thing they looked at.Get the impression the EFL are stringing this out for as long as possible just to make absolutely sure we have no chance of staying up.

                        Just hearing that Kendrick is saying there is still an issue with the lease.I thought substantial progress had been made that’s why the Spanish had submitted their ‘final’ paperwork. I can’t take much more of this.

                          I remember the Football Pink, it had all the results and published soon after the games had
                          finished and see who we had drawn in the FA Cup.

                          I used to queue outside the paper shop waiting for the “pinks “ to arrive. Sad ,but true.

                            Being computer illiterate I am fairly new to this forum lark ( I still miss the football pink on a Saturday night ).However ,this does not make me any less of a Latics fan ,I have been watching them since the 1960s.I just miss the banter at the game and that great feeling after a victory. This administration has really ripped the heart and soul out of our club. We ,as fans ,have to stick together and believe the good times will return….. BELIEVE !

                              All depends how long it’s taken him to persuade his boss.

                              So ,he will be relying on funds being sent by his boss in the Far East ,sounds familiar.

                                According to the interview, they were in and the spanish beat them to the punch

                                The Spanish were late bidders themselves ,but that is understandable.Frampton is a local business man and supposedly a Latics fan.He should have been aware of the situation right from the start.If he was really interested his bid should have been in months ago ,but no ,he waits until someone else gets exclusivity and then claims he has put a bid in but the admin don’t want to know.Really ?

                                  It should be either all clubs can have crowds back or none can.It’s bound to cause arguments.Clubs will claim it’s an unfair advantage ,and rightly so ,if they can’t have crowds in and other clubs can.
