Burndens Bogs Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Last day of business before the deadline is tomorrow. Like us and Bury they’ll more than likely get an extension, then no doubt a turd in shining armour will ride in to save them at the last minute.

Whitesince63 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I can see the club surviving in some form but it seems clear that the US outfit isn’t keen on buying all the assets, especially the ground which is something of a millstone around Wigan’s neck. The rugby boys seem to want the stadium which might leave Latics playing their home games elsewhere, possibly in Leigh, until they can sort out a smaller more suitable permanent home. Shorn of all the expense of the DW and their expensive players they could become stable again within a few years and rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisj Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 As per admins club WILL NOT be sold by 31st August I assume that there will be an extension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The petty side of me wants them playing games 20 miles from home like Cov. perhaps PNE will take them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUREADY2ROLL Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 GERALD KRASNER Talking to the fans now, I must be honest, if none of the bids come to fruition, we have to think about whether the club has a future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUREADY2ROLL Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Knowing that your going to lose about 4 million after a 5 million initial outlay then only a madman or a Wigan fan who has money to burn would buy the club. Where is Bassini? Or you buy the club then continue to sell the players to cover the initial outlay then sell the ground - might make some money in the short term Edited August 27, 2020 by RUREADY2ROLL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger_Dubuis Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 One of their first team attacking players Jamal Lowe sold to Swansea City today.We are getting there but i still think they could field the best midfield in the third tier and Garner is clearly a decent striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny The Ball Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Would like to hear what the EFLs position is - without a buyer near to completion still dont see how they will allow them to play the League cup match next weekend or their opening League games without evidence they can complete the season - the fact they have money to get them to the end of september seems totally irrelevant at this moment.
