Being reported it’s an English based consortium hope it’s Bassini.

So they are actually being bought out which means they will probably have some degree of stability and investment after all and will probably avoid further points deductions?

Yeh but that’s the worst case scenario.😄

By the time they are supposedly bought out surely they would have triggered more efl deadlines as the current owners ain't gonna pay a penny to anyone if and it's a big if there are buyers

Hope its fucking Bassini 

That’s the same as the BBC news but from the club; it can’t go through until EFL approves

a prospective new buyer - subject to EFL approval.

The prospective new owners have committed to resolving all outstanding liabilities at the earliest opportunity.

 

Prospective (twice), subject to approval, and earliest opportunity. A lot of caveats there.  Even if there really is a serious bidder.

[RUREADY2ROLL]

Just flush them before the fixtures are announced and promote teams to cover

 

BUT - would you want Wigan starting on minus 8 or more points or let Stockport in through the back door

Matt Southall?

Think he was similarly backed by a foreign war chest that never materialised and they ended up doing a quick sale

They’d just run with 23 teams and only relegate three next May

So far their owner who has lied consistently has announced a new mystery owner. 
 

There has been no rumours of any intent to sell so seems very unlikely that if these bidders exist that they will have done full due diligence on the club. Equally as the bidders are unknown no checks on them in terms of suitability or if they have the money. 
If you were an optimistic Wigan fan you have to then think if they have agreed to buy was this pre or post point deductions as the club value will have dropped. 
No idea how much the club will be worth but the buyers also need to stump up for the rest of the wages and the EFL bond in next day or so and even if they do surely more points gone ? 
 

So assuming everything falls into place and some random group is prepared to put millions into Wigan to hopefully survive in League 1 and they pass all regulatory checks in double quick time and then have the required millions to immediately pump into the club, they are still in an up hill battle to get through next season competitively. 
 

There again if the liar is once again lying they are still even deeper in. All that has changed is that their owner has made a claim. If it is not true they are actually worse off as the clock is ticking and this will be a distraction. The EFL won't be over sympathetic as last week they were being threatened with legal action based on a totally different scenario. 
If a sale was pending surely a chat with EFL, proof they are serious bidders and it avoids some of the issues ? 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

There are a number of very hopeful posts here!

Reminiscent of when we were in the shit- and that dragged on for months.

Forget about them until such time as there is anything proper happening.

Might stop any undue disappointment, and a little bonus later on. 

[MickyD]

It’s the hope that kills you.

[Zulu]

I’ve just read the BBC article on the sale to their new owners. There’s a lot of quotation marks in there. 😊

I think I can still hear “tick tock”.

What do you mean - he is already there giving his first training session to what’s left of the first team (three of them)

Being reported it’s Sarbjot Johal is the so called new owner the present owners are trying to sell the club to ? 
 

Thought he was after Morecambe ?

Oh this gets better,   bassini 2.   Was only a couple of months ago he was sat in morecambes directors box with his morecambe coat on.

[Dr. Feelgood]

Superb. He's failed to get EFL approval to buy Morecambe for the past 6+ months, so switches to Wiggin.

Hahahaha

Maybe no-one will notice.

[Rizlar]

It gets better he failed the EFL checks for Morecambe and apart from some drinks company he as a share in he refuses to state where is money is coming from worse than Bassini this clown.

Great! I was hopeful the mystery buyer was too good to be true. 

[kevsta69]

Kendrick has confirmed this is the mystery buyer.

Begs the question if he couldn’t get it over the line at Morecambe with the EFL why give him further publicity. 

Cue further meltdown from the Wigan fans. 

[W.cramp]

Picturing the scene ,  your a wiggin fan sat at home with bwfc already swirling round your head rent free knowing bwfc are already laughing their cocks off and then this happens.    This really could not get better.
