Are you suggesting he's a crook?Dave Whelan only sold the club not so long ago,I bet he buys it back on the cheap
Absolutely especially in fa Cup ectMore and more smaller clubs likely will go into administration and just faill away. Which quite frankly is a travesty to the game.
We need small clubs in the game as these clubs are the ones that keep this game somewhat local and for the people.
This is not a "We've no money were skint" this is fraud. You need to read abit more into what has actually gone on at the club. owners have embezzled large quantities of money and placed a large bet on Wigan Athletic going down. When they saw they would more than likely stay up 8pts safe they contacted Administrators to activate the 12 points deduction.
Why would he even mention it if, there wasn't some kind of remote truth in it ?.
It'd have to be an obscene amount of money just to warrant them dropping out of the Championship. Then add the value it'd knock off the club. Makes little sense.
the ownership of wigan is hella sketchy.
it's been passed around shell organisations with links to the same man, then suddenly someone spunks 48 million on them only to place them into administration - and the relegation zone - a week later with 6 games remaining. no-one can contact the new owner or even confirm if he exists.
You speak from a passion am I right in thinking your a Wigan fan?Exactly so what evidence did the EFL see and accept from the new owner and what "stringent" checks did they do ?. Fans have done simple internet checks and dug up all kinds of dodgey dealings so how did this info manage to bypass the EFL ?.
I mean, the funds they had to reveal were funds that would run the club for this season and next ?.
Without checks on this guy it could possibly be drug money ? gambling money , money laundering ?, who knows were it's come from.
What I cant understand is, an unknown character steps up, spends 10's of millions on a football club while were in the middle of a pandemic with no income coming in from the club.
I wouldnt like to be the EFL, they are the so called cops to police the worth and credibility of any potential buyers, especially after previous clubs like Birmingham went through (just to name one).
But, the club had Joe Royle and his son and Jonathon Jackson in charge but apparently knew nothing about it all, how convenient.
This is fraud not a club going bump administrators have hinted the same
