This could be us if a minority get their way and push DC out. As above it’s clearly an asset stripping exercise ala Bury & Bolton. How the EFL keep letting people do this to their member clubs is a complete dereliction of duty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Got to something going on. Taken over June 4th, and now this happens, COVID-19 has been in full flow for three months before the club was bought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was clearly hurting a lot at the last fans forum. Pointed to the fact a minority kept harassing his family online and in person, and that would eventually drive him out of the club if it didn’t stop. He wasn’t happy atall with the treatment his family were getting and he’s obviously not gunna choose Wednesday over the happiness of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer will fall on a few of the league one and two clubs definitely. Hopefully the Efl help the clubs instead of going for the throat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shez owl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 They way Wigan have been playing they could get out of it quite easily esp with goal diff. Take hit now is the right way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grandad Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 EFL confirm deduction will apply next season if Wigan are relegated This season if they finish outside relegation places So if they finish 12 points or more clear of relegation they'll stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grandad Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 There is also the right of appeal from Wigan on points deduction - which means that if the EFL accept Covid-19 as being a contributory factor its possible Wigan will avoid a points deduction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFL not fit for purpose, feel for the Wigan fans as pointed out this smells fishy with a recent takeover. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 How much responsibility should the previous owner have for selling it onto these people? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Horse Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 39 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: 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. Reminds me of the medieval witch trials from Monty Python. 'We will set you on fire. If you survive then you're a witch and we'll kill you a different way. If you burn to death, then you were right and you were not a witch.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
