Wigan deducted more points


Weird statement from their chairman like. Especially when saying they are going to double the size of the clubs shop. Hardly seems a priority
 

The inflated wage bill resulted in cash flow issues which meant we could not adhere to the Agreed Decision with the EFL in January. However, everything possible was done to ensure wages were paid. Delays are a common occurrence with overseas transactions, but that is not and cannot be an excuse for late payments.

Still getting the internet banking excuse in there

Be blaming the next payment on the Evergreen stuck in the Suez Canal
 
No, it isn't like. People are going to be losing their jobs over this man.
People lose their jobs every day.

Maybe next time Wigan fans will pipe down and stop going on about the 'rich sheikh'.

I hope it gets even worse and they hit non league.
There can be no doubt that the fit and proper test that is applied on buying the club must have been entirely insufficient- he clearly has zero clue.

He talks of unmanageable wage costs as if he has inherited them, although also noting he started with only three players.
The test can't legislate for stupidity. He has provided every bit of money asked for in his 2 years in charge.

the owners test doesn't have a crystal ball.

So because some fans got over excited by a rich owner, them going bust is all fair game? Weird logic that mind

Like I said. Im not going to laugh at people losing their jobs. You go right ahead, i think it's a bit sad imo mate

I agree with the above - as I said I haven't got this inbuild hatred of Wigan that some do - it is just another club being shafted and the main sufferers are the true fans and the small businesses that cash flow issues will have a knock on effect

I look back over the last couple of years when it appeared we were flirting with financial disaster and just think phew!
 
The absolute nerve of the latest statement

WIGAN ATHLETIC RELEASE THE FOLLOWING IN RESPONSE TO THE EFL’S LATEST CHARGE OUTLINED BELOW...

We are extremely disappointed with this latest decision. The Football Club has been very transparent with the EFL who have had clear visibility of the eight-figure sum to finance the remainder of this season and the whole of next season.

The Club will now consider all options open, including legal action in response to this, and will make no further comment at this time.
 
We got promoted and the over inflated wages we were paying went up again…. He says this like it was a shock to them!!
And then spent more in January to try and stay up, and then changed managers.

Basically saying trying to avoid relegation was more important than staying within the wage limits agreed with the EFL.
