Well the same website as you used to show us millwalls wage bill and said Sunderland are underperforming because of our wage bill ( you were wrong. It had Sunderland at half of what millwall pay) has Wigan with a bigger wage bill than Sunderland and you keep telling us Sunderland lose far too much money and it has to be plugged by the owners. So I’m assuming Wigan’s is f***ing massive for their income.

the difference may be that wigan have fewer players..and worse infrastructure...for example..do they have a vategory one academy? SAFC do...it paparently costs £3m a year to run..so lets say..Wigan dont...and use the cash to spend on first team wages instead?
BTW companies house shows Wigans owners put in at least £4.8m last season...safc owners put in much more than that.

Salary Sport reckon your annual wage bill is £6.276m, and ours is £5.998m and 2 of our top 3 earners are now off the books.

Which will most likely be absolute nonsense as we don’t tend to publish unless in annual accounts do we? A bit different with the American sports and their arbitration and reporting methods though.
 
Unsurprising when they signed Wyke for 13k a week. They were getting bodies through the door at a rate of knots last Summer, players seemed keen as mustard to go there that suggested to me they were throwing wages about. Stands to reason if they would be happy to give a League One plodder Wyke silly wages theyd be doing similar with the likes of Power (didnt he turn down Ipswich?) and Whatmough.
It stunk from a mile off last Summer.

Power might well have signed for Wigan for lower wages tbf. Emotional connection to the club and very near his family.

Nice objective post there 😂
 
There's definitely a rabbit away. This doesn't happen to other clubs 'by accident', never mind twice in a row.

Cashfow problem alarm bells.

I'm currently talking to a Wigan fan on twitter saying that I'd be worried if I was them.
This particular fan is not having it and saying that this is an extremely easy thing to do and the reasons given are extremely plausible

The entire point of the administration process (for all companies) is to try to preserve the business (and related jobs) as a going concern wherever possible, either by a creditors' voluntary arrangement (CVA), under which the existing owners pay off a proportion of the amounts owed over an agreed period in return for the rest being written off, or by a sale of assets into a newco with no pre-existing debts. It's supposed to leave a clean slate; the PL/EFL make it more draconian by insisting the, to the extent they remain unpaid by the proceeds of administration, the new owners must ensure that football creditors are repaid in full, and other unsecured creditors receive 35%.


Transfermarkt is possibly the most unreliable site out there in claimed transfer values and wages. If they don't know (as in undisclosed fees), they simply make it up.

I understand that, but I just can’t see how it’s remotely fair that you can simultaneously only owe creditors (other businesses with as much right to solvency as yours) 25/35% of what you agreed to and also start offering daft wages to new players.

I’d say there should be a transfer embargo and wage cap until all debts are paid and you can start in the conference.

Thing is their season went as well as they could have hoped, they will now have Championship money coming in, and they've signed nobody, so what has caused the sudden problems?

Could be that they overspent last season to have the kind of season they did and an increase on wages with promotion clauses and bonuses. I'm in no way saying I know for a fact but it's a logical thought
