Spent over the odds for years as a PL Club. Wonder if they will get 10 point deduction. Which would put them joint bottom

Sadly it will probably allow Hull to escape relegation!

Administration is supposed to a 12 point deduction. In normal circumstances there’s a cut off date in April that determines whether deduction is taken during current season or the following season.

I hope they throw the book at Wigan. Only a few days ago they were extending player loans and giving out new contracts to players.

8 points clear of relegation and in great form I think they are tactically trying to take a 12 point hit this season confident that they will finish clear enough of the bottom 3 to avoid relegation despite the deduction.

I’ve said it before... administration should equal demotion. And if the club finish in the relegation zone they drop 2 divisions.

BBC reports that there will be a 12 points deduction.

Applies this season if they can stay up.  If relegated, then 12 points deducted next season.

I remember going there for their first home game in the Football League Wednesday 18th August 1978 and we stuffed them 3-0.

No pressure on the Wigan players to make sure they’re 12 points clear of relegation then . A few tasty bonus payments must’ve been promised . They’re going in my accas till the end of the season .

Very good point, along with those that Golly has made.

Looks like they've played, or tried to play, the system.

Rumour, which Rick Parry (EFL Chairman) has been filmed discussing with a Wigan fan, that Wigan owners placed a massive bet in Philippines on them being relegated before placing the club in administration and triggering 12 point penalty.

Joke club. Remember when they took something like 79 fans to Spurs on a Saturday for a Prem game?

Highly unlikely. With the stringent background searches the EFL do to ensure that people who own clubs are fit and proper, then there’s no way these type of people would have been able to buy a championship club.

Oh, hold on.............🙂

What are the EFL supposed to do? They can’t predict the future. What’s to stop any owner deciding to stop funding their club? The owners at Wigan have been model owners right up to the point where they pulled the plug.

They could stop allowing owners to ruin clubs by overspending in the hope that they reach the promised land of the premier league, then pulling the plug when it doesn't look achievable. Run clubs within their means or kick them out. I doubt many clubs would gamble the way they do if the club would become virtually worthless without success.

I totally disagree with the idea of running clubs within their means. Owners should be free to fund clubs if they like. Running clubs within their means just hands a monopoly to the biggest clubs. Look at the Bundesliga where there are only 3 privately owners clubs (RB Leipzig, Wolfsburg & Hoffenheim). Bayern win the league every season and buy all the best players. Even the 2nd biggest club (Dortmund) lose their best players to Bayern.

What shouldn’t be allowed is owners loaning money to clubs. Any cash injected should be donation or share capital purchase only. And owners should be stopped from selling club assets (stadiums, training grounds etc...) to themselves or their businesses.

And if a club wants to spend beyond their forecasted turnover they should have to deposit the money for the overspend with the EFL at the start of the season so owners can’t just pull the plug mid-season.

This is not a case of long term mismanagement. It looks like an international multi-million pound scandal. The far east owners somehow sold the club to another company that they also own, with a loan at a crippling interest rate of 20%. As mentioned, big rumours that putting the club into administration within a week of buying it is to relegate them and win a huge bet.

Can't help noticing that all these struggling clubs are in the North West:
Bolton, Bury, Macclesfield, Wigan.
Just coincidence?

It's  well dodgy.  4 weeks after ownership was transferred to another arm of the same owners they go into administration. It's a new record for the shortest time that a new owner has bankrupted club.

How on earth is this possible, or legal?

The perfect answer for all this would be to put JSF in charge of vetting potential buyers. No fornicator would get past the turtle-neck jumper tyre kicking test.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

Because the Russian Billionaires prefer the South Coast, don't think Wigan Pier is big enough to fit a super yacht.
