Wigan Athletic PUNISHED AGAIN !!

Well the rotten EFL have punished Wigan Athletic yet again with further pionts reductions . The fine is for yet another failing to pay wages on time after all the promises from the owner ( MY ARSE ) This guy
mr abdulrahman al jasmi IS JUST BLOODY BAD NEWS FOR THE TOWN OF WIGAN ,IT'S PLAYER'S & SUPPORTERS' & STAFF THE SOONE HE GOES THE BETTER ROTTEN G*T ,G.B.

Golden Bear

The problem is that with the cost of maintaining the Stadium, what new owner or owners will want to spend their money on owning both the Latic's and the Stadium when they can see the financial problems?

Problems which has existed since Whelan sold the Latic's and Stadium for a profit and retired to Barbados!

I appreciate all you say Owd Codger , but i don't agree fully .I mean this guy is supposed to have shed loads of money and if you recall he PROMISED he would not miss another payment ,yet again he has gone back on his word .Al the oos and iis dont make a tinkers toss the facts are he broke his pledge not for it to be late . Now up to press they start next season 8 points behind ,but what people do not realise if it keeps happening they will be shown the door by the EFL !!!
Admittedly under Whelan he never did anything like this but if you recall when they got into the Premier they did receive a lot of money .
For me there is only one way out of this debacle and that is for the
club to be put on the open market and sold to someone who cares ,and please don't sell to those STINKING ARABS ETC THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT AGAINST LOWER CLUBS ONE ONLY HAS TO SEE WHAT SOUTHAMTON ARE TO GET FOR DROPPING OUT OF THE PREM SOME £40 MILLION POUNDS SAME WILL BE FOR EITHER LEEDS & LEICESTER IF IT STAYS THAT WAY IT'S JUST NOT ON !!!!! ????/GB.

I am sure Wigan will have got parachute payments when they were relegated from the Premier League.

"STINKING ARABS" typical GB comment. Say no more
Major sponsor pulls out of Wigan Athletic partnership due to 'trust and confidence' concerns
"Following much deliberation, and despite the most recent club announcement, it is with regret and sadness that we confirm our decision to end our long standing commercial association with Wigan Athletic," said a 3PL spokesman.

"As a result we have terminated our official partnership with Phoenix 2021 Limited.

"Following the well-publicised difficulties in prior seasons, we rightly sought and received reassurance from senior figures at the club ahead of the 2022/23 season.

"This led to a renewed optimism in committing our continued support of the famed 3PL Wigan Athletic Academy, who once again have done an amazing job in such difficult circumstances.

"In further extending our association, we had high hopes of a bright and stable future for the football club.

"Regretfully the off-field headlines have taken centre stage in recent months, and subsequent events have fallen below our minimum standards.


"Trust and confidence are essential ingredients to lasting relations and on closer reflection we feel that our business values are no longer aligned.

"The ongoing uncertainty and instability surrounding the club would make ongoing sponsorship increasingly challenging, leading us to withdraw our support indefinitely as we take a temporary break from sponsorship.

"We wish to duly recognise the continued endeavours and respectful resilience of all those associated with the club including the fans, the staff, the suppliers and the wider footballing community.

"You truly embody the very principles of our club motto: 'Progress with Unity'.


"As a business with deep ties to the town and our football club, we remain hopeful of a brighter future and a fresh start in whatever guise that may be, where the focus is back on the pitch and not off the pitch.

"Finally we would like to place on record our thanks to Phoenix 2021 Limited for the opportunity to be officially associated with Wigan Athletic Football Club.

"The company will be making no further comment at this stage."

The Latics will always be in the same mess as long as they alone own the stadium.

Nearby Bolton Wanderers do not have the same problem as their stadium, is owned by a trust which should be the case in Wigan!
