CalmJimmers Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Rubbish for Wigan - unique circumstances with Covid, but football has got to get the financial side of the game sorted. Wouldn't be surprised to see more go into admin, and maybe a few go out of business. Key organisations to culture and communities in real danger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nut Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 If a team goes bust, any points gained against that team would be taken away which would cause even more chaos. Imagine it happening to 2 teams and someone like Leeds or West Brom losing 12 points and dropping out of the autos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonLeon Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 First of many you’d say. I’m expecting a domino effect to happen in the leagues below the Championship once the furlough schemes start to be withdrawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls_fan_since_1983 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Won't be the last club to go into adminstration this season, some clubs in the national league and below could also be facing administration/going under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Wigan have always been poorly supported, even in Premier League. It's a surprise to most of us but shouldn't be really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the EFL have indicated it won’t go against this season it could end up persuading a few to stop treading water earlier than they would’ve had it impacted on this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Just wonder if this is Wigan thinking they can still stop up with a points deduction and it’s a tactically timed administration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think the same thing. Full on tin foil hat situation if they know which other clubs could go into admin and what our efl situation might be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheff74 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The whole sport is a shambles, the amount of money sloshing about at the top whilst clubs further down the pyramid are constantly spinning plates just to stay afloat. Never had strong feelings either way for Wigan, but this is a huge shame and I feel for their supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 As a result of Wigan Athletic confirming they have entered into administration, the Club will be subject to a 12-point deduction and, in accordance with EFL Regulations, the timing of the sporting sanction can only be determined once final league placings in the Championship are determined. If in the event the Club is relegated by virtue of their final position following the conclusion of the Championship season, then the deduction will apply in League One in 2020/21. However, if the Club is not in the relegation places following the final game of season, the sanction will be then be applied to their season 2019/20 total and final league standings amended as appropriate. The EFL is awaiting formal notification from the Administrators and once the League has received this it will commence discussions with the relevant individuals with the aim of achieving a long-term future for the Club.
