Isn't that still in dispute? That link someone posted the other day suggested they may have as little as 5m to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I’m not sure to be honest, not that close to it Just didn’t feel like they will be announcing an impending liquidation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e2e4 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 i still think the "its one person" is a good bet as the story about newleaderfund wanting to put them in admin straight away (what was it , 28 days ?) is too , erm 'convienient' (?) as thats how it worked out .. like summat out of italian football.

snowball Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 So this Thursday and then Tuesday update is Twatter bollocks after all so no news is good news. This Ganaye bloke who's got them all in a lather doesnt sound up to much- too many fingers in too many pies! and one of them Barnsley who they now hate almost as much as us..Apart from Lenagan the rugby mon (who probably just wants the ground) no sign of anyone else. The cistern is filling. Tick fooking tock.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye doyle Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I don't think it's wishful thinking on my part but their situation is reminiscent of Bury's. We always had FV waiting in the wings determined to get a deal over the line, whilst other consortiums sniffed around. Wigan just have people sniffing around at this late stage and chancers turning up late in the day just like happened at Bury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awandering Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I wonder if the EFL will give them a week or two into the season before issuing the 14 day notice Bury and us got last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s effectively the total wage cap for the whole of L1 for a player who has never even played a minute of PL football. Crazy or what but if his wages are that high does it mean he’s gone for a knock down fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was only 7 months ago he was away To inter for 10m. Things like this warm my cockles 😁 but him getting 50k A week is as you point out everything That is wrong with top level football nowadays.

Constantly out of position his pace got him out of it at our level but will get torn apart in PL unless he has improved beyond all recognition.

CJG Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 This reads very bad for Wigan. This American would rather sort the Charlton ownership mess than take Wigan on. Sandgaard also spoke to the administrators at Wigan about potentially buying the Latics. The two parties had two lots of communication before Sandgaard eventually walked away, even though he accepts Wigan would have been a far easier deal to do. "It had all been cleaned up," he said. "But I find much more potential in Charlton." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53837348 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
