Wigan financial woes - up for sale again? p40

A lot has happened in the last few years, so difficult to remember everything that’s been said about our club, but I remember him saying that League 1 is better off for him. To him we were a farm for international players to come over on the cheap then sell for profit, as we all know that didn’t work out. But he’s a stubborn person and continued believing his plan was the way forward.Cafc43v3r said:
Did he? We were loosing about £10 million in league 1 and breaking even this season. Good luck flogging a league 1 player for £10 plus every year.stoneroses19 said:
Roland wanted us in League 1, as it was cheaper for him to run the club and keep selling on our best youth players.stevexreeve said:
Surely we'd have just been relegated!

They could. They’d just need their 72 members to vote for that rule change.MuttleyCAFC said:What the EFL could do is to automatically relegate a team which is sold without the sale being cleared by them.

The members will not approve them as it’s not in their interest to put limits on who they can sell their club to.Only an external regulator with powers to impose rules can make these changes.6 -
This 1000% why would the members, actually the owners, make it almost impossible to off load the club when they have had enough?SomervilleAddick said:

Agreed. It’s not difficult is it. Whatever the minimum term for running costs should also be the minimum term for ownership. This would stop the flipping for a quick buck.Redrobo said:If owners had to put up a bond of some kind - say six months running costs, it would give clubs some level of protection.0 -
There already IS a Football Ombudsman

The fact that none of you calling for one knew that, shows how effective he is. The actual bloke himself argues for a proper independent regulator with power, and that he himself should have the gig. The football activist people agree with the first part of his proposition....2 -
Bit unfair mate. He’s a Spurs fan. He anchored the West Ham Olympic Stadium documentary and got some pretty vile abuse on social from the East London pond life, not to mention indirectly from John Whittingdale who was then DCMS and always a Johnson fanboy.cabbles said:
I know Dan Roan is the BBC Sports editor/lead journo, but he’s not the best to have covering football matters imo. Everything about him screams Rugby Union, living in Fleet and participating in iron man competitions.golfaddick said:

Has nothing to do with regulation of ownership though does he? Its about complaints regarding tickets, sales of goods, banning orders and such like.PragueAddick said:There already IS a Football Ombudsman

Wigan midfielder Jensen Weir is expected to complete a £500,000 move to Brighton, which will ensure the Latics are able to pay their players' wages until the end of the season.

How is that possible. The transfer window is closed & isnt going to open before the end of the season & probably not opening until sometime in August. Might pay Augusts wages but not before then.clive said:Wigan midfielder Jensen Weir is expected to complete a £500,000 move to Brighton, which will ensure the Latics are able to pay their players' wages until the end of the season.

Presumably like when we signed Hermann from Ipswich? Couldn’t play for us until the following season, but we’d bought him before the window.golfaddick said:

You can agree a deal to sign a player so that he officially joins on the first day the window opens.golfaddick said:

They have got history of this, the last center half Brighton signed from Wigan's dad was long time classy area manager (for a major supermarket) Dave Burn.Lincsaddick said:

Sounds more like Brighton want to help them out. Why I dont know, but paying £500k for a player with just 1 league game under his belt sounds a bit strange to me.Lincsaddick said:

Then I suppose £500k to a Premiership team is just a drop in the ocean. I hope Wigan get a good sell-on fee.0 -
I doubt that they're being completely altruistic, I imagine the player is highly rated and valued at much more than £500k. A regular for England U18s so he has some talentgolfaddick said:

As mentioned above, the kids dad is David Weir. Weir is on the staff at Brighton so i'd guess he had a word.golfaddick said:

Like you say 500k is nothing for a premier league club, Brighton's top players probably earn that in a couple of months. The kid must have some talent to a) make his Wigan debut at 15 and b) be a regular for England schoolboys.0 -

£500k is peanuts to a Premier League club. It is a punt for Brighton with little risk and the possibility of greater reward.0

And a financial lifeline for Wigan right now. They can pay their players and staff at the end of the month.MuttleyCAFC said:£500k is peanuts to a Premier League club. It is a punt for Brighton with little risk and the possibility of greater reward.

The sun reckons Wigan needs to offload players to raise £5 million for bills due next month; and to reduce a £19 million payroll. Next month’s bills include payments to Barnsley, Everton and Birmingham. Makes you wonder what happens how much those clubs are expecting and if Barnsley and Birmingham don’t receive their money what impact it will have on them0

So do we know that Wigan are definitely getting a 12 point deduction? Or are they still appealing?0
