Re: Wigan
A new bidder emerges but has some unusual requests - a questioning thread - and a very good one too

Re: Wigan
this is a decent read on the drawn out administration - which is deserving of being questioned in it's own right

The administrators statement seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Re: Wigan
they are culpable in the drawn out nature of this exercise and of continually making moves to reduce the value of what is on sale, including after setting a price with those the were talking too, they have also taken an awful lot of money off fans groups whilst dragging this out. All that before you start looking at the rates being charged and the bonus when the sale goes throughNonayforever wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 7:24 pmWhy do you say " trying too hard to justify their actions " ?

Re: Wigan
to emphasise my point. they have devalued the club so much that at some point (if this carries on their fees are going to exceed the price they are looking to sell the club for, they could theoretically become the clubs biggest creditors

Re: Wigan
In this particular case, are the administration fees being added to the sale price, or are the fees being paid for on a weekly / monthly basis by monies received from player sales ?Chester Perry wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 2:06 pmto emphasise my point. they have devalued the club so much that at some point (if this carries on their fees are going to exceed the price they are looking to sell the club for, they could theoretically become the clubs biggest creditors

Re: Wigan
I understand some fees are being paid at irregular intervals, there is then the bonus should a sale go through, The fees of course have to be paid in full unlike the current effort to get 25p in the £ for other creditorsNonayforever wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 10:15 pmIn this particular case, are the administration fees being added to the sale price, or are the fees being paid for on a weekly / monthly basis by monies received from player sales ?

Re: Wigan
A new consortium being put together to buy the club, includes a former Chairman - is that Whelan's grandson?

that report came out just hours after this much more depressing and grounded view from the administrator

Re: Wigan
it is on the MMT thread but fits just as well here
@AndyhHolt with a very interesting perspective on the EFL rules around administration this morning - there is a lot to consider here as it looks like Wigan may complete a whole season under administration and there is a possibility that could run into a second season or they end up playing another team in administration

Re: Wigan
Interesting piece in todays Observer about the Wigan, including praise for the EFL by the manager even with all the sanctions that have been imposed, astounding how quickly an owner with integrity can clear debts and get off on the right foot with everyone in the game and community - the embargoes mean they should not overstretch, but what the new owner has done should help restore faith and that crucial ingredient for football - hope
