Deatils of the new owners/lenders to Football Ventures starting to emerge on Companies House website this morning..

The model appears to be up to half a dozen people putting money in.  It feels more stable to me than being in hock to one person.  If one drops out it should be easier to find another one willing to put in a few million rather than buying a whole club.

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.

It could be the new owners want to run the club sustainably but on the other hand I prefer your theory!

I have many others. ALL of which are unhelpful to Wigan.

The Bahrain folk will wait for their decent kids to mature, sell them, take the money and bugger off

Child trafficking basically 

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.

...or Paul Cook is signing his old players

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.

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.

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.

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?

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".

So unless there were subsequent decisions then they can't pay fees.

 

 ... of course Nixon could be blowing out of his arse.

I think it depends on whether all debts have been paid in full.

Weren't we still under those restrictions after fv had done their bit?

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.

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

Convinced the bloke who has taken over isn’t going to end well. His behaviour seems very odd for a guy of  his credence

Does come across very cocky on social media talking about how much money they've got but he's American I think so probably explains it

Genuinely wealthy people rarely talk about how much money they have..🤷‍♂️

See Villa‘s Dr Tony as a prime example. Won’t end well, guaranteed
