It was the Portuguese agent that caused the mix up

It's because Fosun have (or at least did at one point) a stake in Jorge Mendes's agency

Thought it was Chinese money for the dog heads 

Chinese owners and a heavily involved Portguese agent innit?

Anyway, all irrelevant with regards to the (spas)Tics.  Nobody is going to be chucking hundreds of £millions their way.

Wigan have become world beaters am reading this. Put the knife down lads!

We can hope!!

So now we know who is behind this deal - There is a bit about him here 

https://diariodeavisos.elespanol.com/2019/10/quien-es-jose-miguel-garrido/

He is clearly not doing it because of any deep rooted affection for the club ....

José Miguel Garrido Cristo is a 54-year-old entrepreneur from Madrid and the nephew of the animal trainer Ángel Cristo. He is dedicated to buying companies whose financial situation is not the most adequate and if he cannot refloat them, he liquidates them.

Tell me its this fella

Wouldn’t fill be with confidence if I were a Wigan fan.

Me neither 

Makes you appreciate how lucky we were that our admin happened when it did and that we had a fan in Michael James waiting in the wings 

Looks like their 'pie'pe dream is now a nightmare

Hope he feeds em to his uncles lions! 

Paella night on hold i reckon

“few articles out there. Seems seriously dodgy and it's not as if he is the only interested party. We are not that desperate to jump in bed with another owner that isn't right for Wigan Athletic.”

Is this guy for real? Not saying they should just jump from the frying pan like we did with Ken (if possible), but how on earth are they not desperate?

Sounding promising this.

Well now. What a delightful development.

This seems to be following a similar track to our problems. Lots of problems and then along comes the saviour. But the saviour proves not to be a very nice person. 

Wigan it now appears are at the "El Chairman's notes" and the "El tank top" stage of proceedings. 

With any luck they will never reach the Michael James/Shazza stage.

It's an any port in a storm attitude over on Wigginways.

Given that it’s 3 months since they went into admin, this dodgy Spaniard is the only person to match the asking price - beggars can't be choosers.

Hasta La Vista - maybe.
