Then noticed that they actually got taken over for £40m in April. Looks like they’ve got significant investment behind them. 700m apparently! https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/ipswich-town/funds-behind-itfc-takeover-revealed-7890950 Looks like Ipswich mean business this season. Lee Evans is a good player AND a second player in two days to jump ship from the Wigan 'revival'. Maybe the players know something about the new ownership model that their fans don't. Quote

Site Supporter MickyD Posted June 5, 2021 Site Supporter Posted June 5, 2021 Regarding Lee Evans, a Tractor Boy asked yesterday whether any Wigan fan could let him know what kind of player he was. One of first responses was along the lines of, “He’s very good but I don’t know why you’re asking, he’s not going anywhere.” I am loving the realisation that Wigan surviving the drop to L2 didn’t mean they are keeping their squad intact.

1969 Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 How lucky are we to have owners like fv.Looks like sheff weds owner's are doing to them what the Andersons did for us. Quote
nantwichwhite Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 On the basis of the signings since January it looks like we are investing and spending, eighteenth months ago I could have never imagined this. It is like a breath of fresh air. I wonder why this changed in January after some of the cheap signings Phoenix made. This is an observation not a complaint by the way. Quote

Yep. Not paying players, the players aren't in the mood to put up with that and the PFA is in but some ex players, owed money, are pushing the legal route. They're in danger of more points deductions. Fans in despair and fearing ghe worst, some even saying "bring it on, it's inevitable and we need rid of the owner even if it costs us". It's all sounding horribly familiar. Quote

According to tricky Nixon wiggin have made a 400k bid to MK Don's for one of their players. Are they not subject to an embargo? Quote

Are they not subject to an embargo? Should be. This was on their club news page on July 2020. "Just to clarify The transfer embargo means Wigan can only sign players on free transfers or loans for the next two years with a limit of 20 players in the squad". Quote
Dr. Feelgood Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 So unless there were subsequent decisions then they can't pay fees. ... of course Nixon could be blowing out of his arse. Quote

It's probably to do with the terms of our debt repayment. As of January this year we had yet to meet our obligations to the unsecured creditors but were working towards paying what we owe within the agreed timescales (according to Andrew Gartside). I assume Wigan aren't in that position. Quote

One of the thickest on Latics Speyk (and that is some competition) reckoned Johnstone could only have come here "because we didnt want him" . Also said Evans was a "Rolls Royce" player in Lge 1 before in next breath saying glad hes gone we can do better. Deluded nobs but i really hope these arabs dont throw money about or if they do they soon realise like the last lot they are wasting their money and leave them in shit again. Anyway admins did a good job of gutting them hopefully they suffer again and right soon Quote
