The American takeover pair Randy Frankel and Michael Kalt are in talks about the shock switch of 'home' as they try to get a deal done to rescue the club from administration Wigan's potential new owners want to leave the DW Stadium  Credit: PA:press Association The change of address from Wigan's old DW Stadium ground would need approval by the EFL. But it is already used by Manchester United in the WSL as well as Leigh in the rugby world. This surprise idea has also been run past supporters groups and the local authorities and is now part of their plans for the future. The group, advised and fronted by Frenchman Gauthier Ganaye, are unwilling to pay the £3 million asking price for the current stadium. They have offered £500,001 for the football club and training ground. But that was rejected by the administrators. The admins are demanding the £3 million sum for the stadium to be paid too. That figure covers their fees along with the creditors and legal costs. Wigan rugby chief Ian Lenagan has been trying to buy the ground and become landlord rather than tenant and that is still in negotiation. However the French-American team are unhappy with the rental terms he wants. And they turned to Leigh's modern and compact ground as an alternative  Edited September 8, 2020 by Benny The Ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Bock Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Can’t see them actually moving to Leigh but having the option is obviously handy when it comes to rent negotiations on the DW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant either - something does not ring true about these american billionaires Stage set for Lenaghan ( Rugby club ) to  play good cop and buy the stadium and do a deal with Jacksons local consortium - assuming Jackson has cobbled the necessary monies together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye doyle Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 1 hour ago, paulhanley said: Hard to follow all the comings and goings with this around work and family etc. What's the consensus then? On a scale of 1 to 10 how much in the mire are these cunts? (10 being the deepest of deep shit) I suppose at the outset you'd say with any club it's 50/50. However the only buyer in town doesn't want the stadium and the admins need to sell it to finance their wages. Given that the season starts on Saturday time is the enemy as well. I'll go for 7.

snowball Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 If these Yanks can take Tampa Bay Rays to Canada they might just be contemplating taking Wigan all the way to Leigh.

Horwich left Grundy Hill for Leigh and I’m fairly sure became Leigh Railway Mechanics Institute which given Leigh’s lack of rail infrastructure I always found ironic.
