If the proposed purchase includes the ground, that could make life interesting for them with the league rule about having fixture priority. That's quite hard to insist on if the club you share with are a bigger name and share ownership of the ground.
Seems like when you are on the brink everyone works a lot harder to get things done.
No idea when Mr Danson made his original offer but it took Sandgaard over 5 months to agree a deal.....seems like Wigan took 5 days.
I would imagine that one England-based person buying everything up in one go would be a much easier and quicker process than a consortium of multiple nationalities buying part of a club and negotiating with a third party over terms regarding the rest.
The (former) Wigan owners probably just wanted to get rid too instead of trying to maximise the price a la Sandgaard.

It's not all that surprising honestly.
Add in that he’s already a major stakeholder of another local sports club, founder & CEO of an AIM Listed company and also The New Statesman. Had the backing of local MP and the Mayor. Easy one for the EFL to get out of the way, once he’d also lodged the funds required.
Wigan away in September is on the international weekend. Looking to plan ahead. I reckon we might have 2 international players in camara and Thomas. I know we need 3 players to potentially be called off but could Wigan also have some players going away. How late will they tell us about rearranging.

Normally 2 weeks before the International game in question.

Sorry, that was a Ted/tad awful.
