Points deductions is the most Wigan thing ever
As bad as the Premier League it seems. They will let anyone in.Surely the EFL have some culpability in this. The fit and proper tests must be absolutely dog shit.
Reported. For encouraging him to laugh at people losing their jobs.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
Personally I think “they have” is a better way to describe their plightThey are going to go bust aren't they .
Not good
I keep reading this but I don't see what you expect? He isn't a criminal and proved he had the money to finance it when he bought the club. He's also provided proof of money and put money into the club every time he has been asked for over 2 years until today.Surely the EFL have some culpability in this. The fit and proper tests must be absolutely dog shit.
Agree with the first part. People’s livelihoods involved here. The chuckle is for everything after the commaAwful for their supporters, apart from that Wank helmet Danny T
'Thick as fuck' is a difficult thing for the EFL to legislate for, though. This fella had the money to run Wigan successfully, plus a clean slate to build from. However, his football management team chose to spend beyond the club's natural means on players that had little to no sell-on value. Egged on by the fanbase, they got early success. However, while they enjoyed the sowing part, the reaping part appealed a lot less. There's a lesson in there for all football fans tbh. Football is fucked. Prioritise being able to watch your club in a few years over everything else.Wonder where those Wigan fans are that were on here defending this shit earlier in the season.
Criminal that these were allowed to take control of the club. EFL fit and proper is a load of bollocks
Surely they need to sight a business plan etc… I don’t agree with clubs being deducted points for their owners being shit, they should go after the owners themselves. I’m no fan of Wigan like, but stuff like this is happening all too often in football.I keep reading this but I don't see what you expect?

How do you expect the EFL to see into the future and predict what will happen?
What exactly are they meant to check for?
He provided all of that.Surely they need to sight a business plan etc… I don’t agree with clubs being deducted points for their owners being shit, they should go after the owners themselves. I’m no fan of Wigan like, but stuff like this is happening all too often in football.
Loves McLean and hates SAFC does Kendrick, full of praise for McLeans knee slide when they scored at their place, an obnoxious biased journalist who writes in the style of a highly bigoted fan.
Sounds like a complete Charlatan![]()
The Chairman on the past 12 months and future plans
An open letter from the Chairman, Talal Al Hammad, in regard to the last 12 months and future planswiganathletic.com
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
The EFL can't start getting into value-judgements on the quality of the signings that clubs make. That's ultimately what it comes down to for Wigan.Surely they need to sight a business plan etc… I don’t agree with clubs being deducted points for their owners being shit, they should go after the owners themselves.

What a whopper. Who is he anyway?
Pay wages on time for a kick off.He provided all of that.
If he changes his mind 18 months down the line then what do you expect them to do?
Wigan were on the verge of going bust and he provided everything they asked for.
But how can the EFL predict that he will stop paying wages after a year?Pay wages on time for a kick off.
I dunno the answer, but I do know too many of these shady fuckers are taking on clubs and then potentially ripping them away from the communities they’ve served for decades or in some cases over a century.
A Wigan journo that spent a few years trying to create a rivalry and wind up Sunderland fans on twitter. Constant digs at Sunderland especially when they signed Mighty Max Power and Charlie Wyke. He’s a weird individual.What a whopper. Who is he anyway?
