Wigan deducted more points


Factually correct of course and I’d love for us to have won a major trophy within recent years. Their sole decent trophy in their history wont count for much if/when they do a Bury mind you.
That FA Cup win arguably cost them their Premiership status in 2013. If you're hocked up to the eyeballs, silverware sometimes comes with a lot of risk.

No it didn’t. We had plenty defensive injuries that year that cost us. Look at the team that won the game, central midfielders playing as wingbacks.

Yup. But how many of those injuries might have been avoided without additional cup matches? And how did you do at Arsenal a couple of days after the final? All ifs and buts I'll grant you, but thats why I said, 'arguably'.

Hardly any to be fair, we had some shocking long term injuries. That’s one of the few seasons from memory the FA Cup final wasn’t after the last league game. Still wouldn’t swap it though.
 
I'm not worried about what Wigan or any other team achieved in the past. The future is where its at and I'm totally relaxed about ours. Dropping into League 1 would be devastating.

No it wouldn’t. We’ve been there enough. Dropping out of the Football League would be though but again, we’ve spent more time out of it too.
 
I think with the state of play, if the owners can’t fund the club, those players will be off like a shot for what they can get. You can’t hold an owner to ransom if they don’t care about paying wages on time. We might not have pulled up a trees as a team but there’s a lot of players in our squad who would do well amongst other squads elsewhere.
You do know all football debts have to be paid so even if they are not paid, when nee owners come in they will owe the players every penny.
 

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
