Maybe this has something to do with Martinez and the three amigos. Can't see why yer average Spaniard would want anything to do with em.

It is therefore intriguing that the words "Spanish based" are being used. As opposed to solely "Spanish". 

Still chances of this going wrong. It was an age between preferred bidder and deal signed for us (although there were reasons). And of course they could easily be yet another bunch of fly by nights. Maybe this isn't their moment to have a very close brush with mortality. Maybe this is their Ken Anderson moment. El Tanktop.

I'm absolutely fuming with every one of you for getting my hopes up.

Surely Stuart Holden's lot aren't having a sniff? 😳

For administrators I suppose its easier to sell a football club when the previous owners have written off all the money owed to them rather than  a club where previous owners are wanting to be paid £17 million.....

I'm still scratching my head on who would want to buy WAFC. The town is a rugby town. Fanbase is laughable. Football is, at best, the 4th most popular thing to do in the town behind RL, pie eating and sucking mint balls.

 

Having said that. It has not come as a shock that some deluded Knight on a charger has arrived and seems more than happy to piss money up against a wall.

Not a problem for you. Safe and sound as you are as the self proclaimed "greatest club in the world" with those dear old Glazer Brothers filling your trophy cabinet year in year out to prove the point.

Not particularly given they’ve got rid of their big earners and still have a more than reasonable squad for that league. 

Still time for it to go tits up but it wouldn’t seem likely. 

I look at it as they have gone from a team capable of challenging for promotion to premier league that almost survived relegation despite the 12 point penalty, to a struggling League One outfit and whos supporters now know what we went thru. So yes damaged a lot since July 1st.

Now we will see what happens but as saint cheese tells us we need to concentrate on ourselves and hope we are not too far off playing in the same league in the very near future

[Matt Lofthouse]

Gutted. Really wanted these to go pop. 

[Mantra]

Boo.

[birch-chorley]

They won away at Pompey at the weekend didn’t they? 

I’d say they’ve got a better chance of getting promoted than we have based on the respective starts to the season 

Best case scenario we play them in League 1 next season, they ain’t going down

i still see the locals revolting

 

rather 'tic than spic

Really could do with a journalist finding out and plastering it all over the Internet and blowing the anonymity, before the deal is signed.

I fear the worst.Wigan are a lucky club, they have attracted people who have bankrolled them up the leagues for 25 years.Knowing their luck, Martinez will be involved and it'll be a similar set up to those Iberians at Wolves who have paid for them a mid table PL side

Aye, I reckon his maggot has drowned.

Just imagine if whoever the owners are they fail the ‘fit and proper’ test the EFL have in place.

Newcastle would be the closest example I reckon when the Saudi deal collapsed.

Fair enough, I tend to avoid Wolves now they aren't an under acheiving laughing stock.I thought they were being bankrolled from Portugal

[birch-chorley]

You’d think so with all the Portuguese players
