Have been deducted 8 points, so will begin next season in League One on -8.

There is another 2 paydays before next season starts so plenty of time for that to change yet.

No doubt they'll be signing Championship quality players they can't afford in that division again at some point in the not too distant future though.

And yet it still feels like they'll have enough £££ to put together a promotion challenging squad somehow.....

I feel sorry for the fans and team. The players, and staff, have not been paid whilst the fans have paid good money to support the club.

The points deduction hits the very heart of the club, the fans and the team. It is the owner who should be punished with a personal fine on him, as it is he who has failed to pay the wages. If this happened then, not only him but all club owners could be held to account,


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

If so, you have to ask the players why they’d chance a move there with the issues with payments.

Mercenaries are defined as someone who works merely for wages, not much wage paying going on at Wigan!

Lump sums paid up front guaranteeing a few months pay with the promise of weekly or monthly paypackets, no doubt. By then the players have signed a contract and are required to play for the duration, whether the wages are paid or not
