Rizlar Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Growing up it was always Blackburn, the red shite and Blackpool but since moving to Wigan cant stand them that could also be because I go and watch Wigan rugby team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of others i dont like Blackburn Burnley Middlesbrough Tranmere Leeds West Ham,. But i don't really ever give the likes of Bury or Wigan a 2nd thought when it comes to rivalry. TBH, i didn't even realize till very recently that Bury hated us. And i must have been 15-16 before i know Wigan had a football club. Before I decided to take a career break, I worked near Wolverhampton for a good few years, generally they are actually Ok, very similar to us supporting their local team, but with a weird depressing accent. Their bitter rivals are West Brom. They still get wound up by the mention of John McGinlay, good for banter. To cap it off my daughter's boyfriend is a Wolves fan, handed down from his dad. He was most impressed when without telling him we took him to the Albert in Horwich when McGinlay junior had it, and introduced him 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice Wigan are down but sat watching sky sports news watching them get relegated due to admin is nowhere near on a par with a 40 year old stump keeping us up in the last minute! Too right. Wibraham day was a 9 out of 10 in my supporting history, probably just topped by the play off finals days that we won. Wigan's relegation is a 4 or 5 out of 10, and we havent had many 4 or 5 out of 10 days in the last couple of years, aside from the Wycombe "we still exist" game obviously. Beating Tranmere was a nice feeling at the time, and the 0-0 v Cov was emotional, but both a bit meaningless in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously what happens to another club doesn't come close to that, yes I got a bit forgetful in my excitement. And winning at WBA in the match after Wilbraham day was up there too.

Lt. Aldo Raine Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I think the point is that our club's history is determined by what it does itself, not by a local "rival" getting relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own though. I'd like to agree, but listening to the commentary of our last game, Burton away, when we scored twice I tried to engender some enthusiasm and interest but I just couldnt. Nobody can generate that "YES" feeling to order, I felt nothing that night even though on paper it was a good result and performance. I got more excitement out of Charlton's late equaliser the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure something will leak in the next 24 hours, the potential new owner needs to sign today at 12-30, if it’s signed or otherwise would of thought Krasner will need to disclose it pretty soon even if he doesn’t give the name of the buyer.

My understanding was 31st July was the meaningful day. We are way adrift of anything Concrete here. Interestingly the appeal is 31st July as well I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s not signed then I’d expect they’ll revisit the “other” offers. Edited July 23, 2020 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted July 23, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2020 From yesterdays bbc report Quote There is still a possibility the Latics could receive an additional 15-point deduction next season and a transfer embargo for up to two years. The punishments will only apply if new club owners are in default of any agreement in relation to secured creditor claims. what does sentence 2 mean And why are they not already under embargo Did we get ours for someting other than going into admin?

Gonk Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Football rules not legal rules. Secured creditors have a minimum percentage threshold to be repaid by the new owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted July 23, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2020 Okey coke, so if one of this first lot proceed its unlikely that they get -15 Why were we placed under the trnsfer embargo, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 2 hours ago, Rudy said: No fucking way this is getting overturned The rules specify going in to admin before the four Thursday in March rather than a certain point of the season. Obviously they didn’t envisage the season extending in to July but if they get one of those lawyers who are experts at loopholes with speeding tickets etc and they might be on to summat.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 23, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Either way, they are fucked. Even if they win an appeal and stop up (don't see it happening) they are going to have to trim their wage bill by at least £1m/month before they can think about replacing them players they sold. No new owners are going to come in and bank roll them with the losses they are making now. Best case scenario for them, they win the appeal, stay up and have to replace people like Moore with Magennis and Morsy with Oztumer etc. Edited July 23, 2020 by Biggish Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
