Benny The Ball 194 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The "Flushing of the turd" analogy used by many on this thread seems to have been picked up by Lisa Nandy given the latest headline in the Wigan news We need to 'unblock' this Wigan Athletic mess now, urges Lisa Nandy https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/football/we-need-unblock-wigan-athletic-mess-now-urges-lisa-nandy-3055608 The sun is also reporting that the Wigan Spanish takeover has stalled https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/13361010/wigan-takeover-stalls-efl-cristo/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Feelgood 52 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 "Lisa Nandy" and "Turd" in the same sentence. It's happened before & doubtless will again. Her solution to all this is to make it a "people's club", run by the fans, for the fans. Well, those may make interesting headlines, but they're bullshit. It's guarenteed to make whatever survives a basket case and they'd be lucky to stay alive in the Conference. (Which, don't get me wrong, would be a good thing ... if they have to survive at all).

paulhanley 587 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Its a long hard bleak winter ahead in Wigan. The prospect of being marooned at the bottom of League one matched only by the fact that the Spanish saviours whose appearance made them do nasty things in to their Lonsdales have proved not quite to be the real deal. The whole thing was always built on quicksand. Broken-leg funded the lot from the late 90s. Once he'd gone they needed someone similar and the one they thought they'd found proved not to give a fuck about Wigan once push came to shove. The whole set up is hot air, piss and wind. This is the epitome of a tinpot football club and the plunge back to that reality has been a very pleasant distraction in this difficult year of 2020. When the financial and ownership trouble hit us what was left in the end was a proper football club with a fanbase and a pedigree of tier 1 and 2 football. We attracted responsible owners who wanted to build on that foundation with a sustainable and sensible plan. What's left at Wigan? Non-league foundations and lower league scrapings. Rotten, tinpot, nothingness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The admins did say something about 'getting through to Dec 31st' maybe trying to pressure the EFL to approve the takeover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
