Ok fair fucks they won the league an’ all that, but tonight i had to endure a midnight train full of the turds on a train from Manc to Wigan with loads of feral scruffs singing “Bolton get battered” blah fucking blah.

They can enjoy their day in the sun, but we’re on our way back and our paths will no doubt cross again.

Karma.

Rock bottom is League 2 or beyond with little chance of anything upwardly mobile beyond the kind of League 1 stretches Morecambe have just had. That's when the turd has flushed - not before.

Nah. The Marianna Trench is NW Counties Div. 2.

I’d prefer non league for those twats, I’ll feel content them.

is that like the catalina wine mixer?

On SSN telling Wigan fans how much he loves them and the club and proving it by getting out a shirt with his name on  

And then proving he's serious on local news by getting out important documents then dropping them all in the wind

Moneys “in” players paid tomorrow apparently. If it’s in pay em today. 
 

also only 15 days until they’re due this month wages. No revenue to use and all players released at the end of June also get paid until the end of July (if not already signed elsewhere) 

they’ll be in admin before the fixtures come out 

Yet they still think they can pick up the best of the freebies and loans, fucking deluded doesn't even begin to describe these loonies.

Yep that’s definitely sounding grim, next wages due soon, zero income over summer, admin beckons

Extended their early bird season ticket offer twice - now to the end of the month, no doubt to raise some ready cash.

Unsurprisingly people are sitting on their hands to see how it all plays out.

Heard they've only sold 25% of season tickets compared to last season 

So that's 250 sold.Tinpot fuckers

Whilst I hope these fuckers suffer the unkindest of demises you might want to revisit some of the stuff posted on here when we were in the shit 😊

Pretty sure none were asking for us to sign the likes of Nick Powell, do they not realise these days players like getting paid on time.

Simply unsustainable. I genuinely find it astounding they couldn’t have envisaged this possibility that it would cost loads to run. I don’t think anyone else will take them on in their current guise unless it’s a fan like we had.

Spunked all their money getting into the Championship, then get immediately relegated and now have to budget more sensibly for a second crack at League 1

WIGAN ATHLETIC CAN PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING UPDATE IN REGARD TO WAGES AND THE FUNDING OF THE FOOTBALL CLUB. 

All remaining playing and non-playing staff have now been paid.

The ownership group, Phoenix 2021 Limited, has committed a substantial seven figure sum to Wigan Athletic to secure the immediate future of the Club. The EFL has visibility of this amount.

Phoenix 2021 Limited under the ownership of Mr Abdulrahman Al-Jasmi and Wigan Athletic FC Chairman Talal Al Hammad insist they are fully committed to the Club.

Chairman, Talal Al Hammad, has released the following statement:

I firstly want to apologise again to all staff, players, fans and wider stakeholders for the stress this delay has caused.

As an ownership group we have invested well in excess of £20m since we came on board in 2021. Clearly mistakes have been made and this investment has not been spent in the right areas meaning finances this season have been difficult to sustain.

This latest payment will ensure our wage obligations are secured until we finalise a sustainable budget for next season. There will also shortly be announcements made regarding board and staff re-structures which will help us deliver this.

I finally again want to reassure all Wigan Athletic staff, players and fans that Mr. Al Jasmi and I are fully committed to the Club with Manager Shaun Maloney at the helm.

The Club will make no further comment at this stage.
