Get pledging and save this club in what is its darkest ever hour , far worse than 1983 !!!
Cannot understand a defeatist attitude at a time like this be my message is to all those temporary Jonny come lately hand clasping w@@@@rs that plagued our club for few years during ten premier league days !!!
Where the feck are you lot now you effing bar stewards??!!!!!

I fear the worst , hope I’m wrong .

when the points deduction was confirmed my short term bitterness and anger was very quickly replaced with fear.
Not fear of losing players and status but actual survival as without any owner we very likely won’t be able to start next season.
However I am always a glass half full person and I think with the announcement of the long overdue salary cap and assets available I would be extremely surprised if the buyer isn’t found.
Just have to be positive and look forward to a different future that if we survive is likely to resemble what we used to be , a lower division club alternating between leagues 1 and 2.
Not what everyone wants to hear but at least we would have a club to support and let’s never forget the fact that many friendships have been built up over the years due to Latics and it would be awful to lose that.

Agree ,First job is get a new owner in pronto then try and get the best prices for all the sellable players.
Now the dust is settling After the very unfair relegation that for me is the priority although also worrying is the lockdown tightening and no crowds being admitted which ultimately means a huge drop in revenue.
At least the 12 points deduction is gone and if all of the above are satisfied at least we start with a clean slate and lower running costs.
The bigger picture of football is a frightening one though and I think football will be littered with 12 point deductions next season once the furlough scheme ends.
Terrible times but an underdog , backs to the wall tag has always suited this great club and despite the bad times ahead hopefully we will still have a club to follow even if it is a lower division model.
And finally shame on the 10,000 tossers of this town who bought the kit when we hit the premier league and deserted us when we departed.
You know who you are and spare a thought and think about your local football club next time you wash your PCP 10p millionaire car with the 2005-6 replica kit !!!!!!

Somebody once said when we made it into the big time that the story would have made a far fetched Hollywood film.
What has happened since is beyond even that remark and some but one thing gives me hope and it’s that backs to the wall underdogs tag that we have always had and still have about our club.
It’s arguably what makes the club so likeable up and down the country and has done for decades.
Nobody with any sense of mind would spend half a million quid defending a points deduction I’d there wasn’t any hope of winning the case especially at a club in administration.
Reading the Barnsley twitter feeds over the past few days suggests that the euphoria from last week is now swiftly turning to apprehension.
Believe!!

If ever there was heavy rubble before we hit the mountain summit that was it last night.
Our eternal bogey sides very cynical Dulham and their aerobics and acrobatic show fooled the inept officials at crucial moments and the bad luck of the past month was summed up in one game.
Let’s hope justice is done next week and a precedent set for any future corrupt owners and also the EFL to check them more stringently.
Just have to believe and hope the case goes our way next week.

We played like we did earlier in the season today with the customary late goal against but it could have been even worse especially with the ref keeping the clock ticking far longer than he should have done in my view.

If we go down but survive as a club at least we start with a clean slate next year.
I just hope that Barnsley can pull a rabbit out of the hat today as I dearly hope Luton fail.
That said I am a always glass half full and just have a very string feeling that we will survive on Wednesday.

Arguably the greatest ever Latics performance since we entered the football league.
So much pressure and such a brilliant display that took the breath away.
Could well be safe come Sunday afternoon if we win at Charlton and other results go our way.
