August 1, 20206 yr They can have the 50p I found in the garden yesterday, it's from 1980 and not legal tender any more

August 1, 20206 yr Even without the -12 Wigan are toast now. If they stop the deduction they are still in a financial whirlpool without a wealthy new owner ... and we know from our own experience that they don't grow on trees and especially when there's a vast financial black hole to fill just to help the club survive. I make no apologies. Popcorn is out. Compelling viewing.
August 1, 20206 yr I remember being pleased for them winning promotion the same time we did in 97. Fuck em
August 1, 20206 yr Indeed it is good viewing. It was a cuntz trick to put them in this situation in the first place. They have little, if anything, going in their favour.

It has the potential to turn into a proper soap opera Rather than a quick Liquidation , which to be honest I would not wish on any club , this has some entertainment value Ideal scenario - 12 point deduction is applied and they are relegated Someone scrapes together just enough money to save them from immediate Liquidation , but not enough to either buy the ground which is sold to Wigan RL who put in a better offer , and not enough money to pay the non football creditors 25p in the pound which would mean they start next season with a further 15 point deduction End of next season we get promoted , they get relegated and we never play them again .
August 1, 20206 yr I prefer the quicker route, liquidated and they start again in the north west counties league.

I'd not bat an eyelid at a quick liquidation ... but I'd settle for your other scenarios. The overall point (provided they survive) is that without a sugar daddy Bolton Wanderers are always going to be getting the better of Wigan Athletic. There's already been enjoyment. They never saw any of this coming and thought they were in for a prolonged period of lording it over us. Now their rather slow brains are having to adjust to a new reality. By the way .... if they do end up relegated there's every chance of a cup match against them next season. A season which may well start for them with a scratch squad.

August 2, 20206 yr Nixon saying admin want to slash payroll down to £6m. It’s around £19m at it’s highest a couple of weeks ago. The turd has only just hit the water. A lot of way to sink yet

A lot of way to sink yet At that level of wages in league one they will maybe break even at a push once the tv money drops and ticket money etc. they really are fucked. what was our wage bill when we went into admin? in fact what was it when sweaty took over probably a better comparable ?
