They have loved our demise now the boot is on the other foot; HA HA HA

Edited February 17, 20215 yr by Casino

Thing about this supporters club cash..once it's gone its gone. Are they going to raise the same cash two and three times over? Might buy them two or three months. Nothing more. They still need to find someone generous who is willing to buy a tinpot football club in a rugby town. Complete with supporters who have higher expectations than their pre and post peg-leg history suggest is realistic. 

My heart bleeds. 

If they ain’t got the funds to finish the season and can’t provide proof they’ll go pot

The FL shouldn’t have let them start especially when they aren’t able to gain a revenue

If say they went next month and couldn't continue to the end of this season, what will happen to the points that 2 clubs have already taken from them?

Will they be void or will they give all other s yet to play them an extra 3 points?

Results expunged, just like their previous incarnation who went after 8 games.

I wonder if history will repeat with statistical exactitude. Eight games. It'd be cruel. It'd be most welcome. 

I see the Bahrain group is now being spoke about on the Wiggin forum 😄 should get their hopes up for a week or so

It’d be great to see the words, “Wigan records expunged” when describing their last season in the EFL.

Memory failing - they actually lasted 12 league games.

The tics are leaving the cooling corpse

Think Covid is saving them at moment from a deadline or pressure from EFL. With so many clubs on a financial cliff edge no way they want to be seen pushing any one over the edge. EFL hoping admins will make it easy for them but as long as no fans stuff goes on cant see EFL pulling the handle (or pushing the button if you're posh) and flushing the turd yet.

True. On the other hand if they have to expunge double figures worth of fixtures that'll be awkward too. My money is on the glorious moment arriving towards the end of October/start of Nov. Wouldn't Nov 5 be a good date. Chuck em on the flames. 

Have you got the bunce to clear the debts?

Yes

Have you got the bunce to operate for two years 

No.

Right well fuck off then.

Last time around Wigan's last match was 24th October. This time hey ae due to host Plymouth on that date.

Save Argyle on the petrol money and pot them just before. Seems sensible enough to me.

I think admin might pull the plug before EFL. 

How long can admin keep this going though with no income? Surely it can only be a matter of time before they are forced to pull the plug if no buyer is confirmed who will pick up the tab? Wigan can’t even sell season tickets so surely funds must dry up soon.

Let's just say a deal is made right at the death. Will it have to go through the EFL and the fit and proper test? Or will that be part of the deal?

They should never have been allowed to start the season.

If Peter Sutcliffe and Adolf Hitler came up with the money they would pass EFL tests.

Innnnnnnnnn one

I can't believe the amount on here who are celebrating another team's demise. It could easily have been us. Accusing Wigan of being small time and irrelevant whilst we are currently bottom of L2. Glass houses and all that.

You see, when it was us, they were cunts.
