Wigan Athletic deducted 3 points (P33)

[manimanc]

They have lost the appeal. I can't see a long line of buyers eager to buy them either.

Would have been an outrage if Barnsley went down instead of Wigan as the tykes got themselves out of the dogfight.

Er.. they hadn't. Barnsley finished third from bottom 10 points behind Wigan. The 12 point deduction then put Wigan in the bottom three.

No love for Wigan what so ever but think the 12 points deduction is a bit harsh under covid and how it’s Totally wiped out Match day income for the leagues. Possible they could have survived on pie sales alone with fans in the ground.
Looks to be a bit more too it then just loss if match day income with bad management, but in the days where government are throwing money about left right and centre to combat the financial aspect of Covid its a shame the league couldn’t have suspended the point deductions for any team falling into administration for this year and maybe next . I’m surprised it’s only Wigan tbh and think maybe one or two others may just have hung in to take the 12 point hit next year . Also surprised they all agreed to resume the league without taking away the Deduction clause for this year at least . wont lose any sleep over it, just feel it’s a bit unfair under Covid

Ha ha did they? What a fuckin plum I am.

I thought when barnsley beat Brentford they got out of it?

I'm going for a lie down.

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Oh what a shame. Get down.

Well done Baarnsley. Anyway my Mum's from there!

Is all this yet another triumph for the fit and proper person test?

Another triumph for FFP, I think you’ll find. I’d imagine Klopp and Mourinho will be commenting on it at their next press conferences...

I can feel the bitterness about losing the 2013 FA Cup Final emitting from you Stokie. Its coming from Charlestown Road, down the phone line and straight into my living room in Newton Heath. And I love it,love it, really love it.

Being a bitter blue it comes naturally to me.

Don't forget the shit they said after the play off semi final and the pitch invasion not so long ago. Plus the fact they're all reds really as well.

They were nobs after Wembley too. A few got slapped and deserved it.

Joke club....clown fans

 

[Ribchester]

Non league club that courted association football at our expense. Good riddance. Stick to supporting pie wholesalers and your club at Leigh St Helens Widnes and Warrington

 

[Blueboy73]

It's a sad day when any club is faced with administration and there's something fishy going on there which isn't good for the game.
Having said that Whelan was a two faced **** complaining about our spending after bankrolling his own club into the top flight.
Most Wigan fans I've encountered are Wigan fans when they're doing well but revert into plastic Rags and Dippers when the going gets tough and these are the ones I've no sympathy for.

 

[East Level 2]

Possibly the only fans to declare themselves "FA Cup champions". Most others are holders or winners.

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

It appears that their total debt is around 45 mill as the dodgy loan that the new 'buyer' took from the previous owner has been included by the administrator, even though originally they said it didn’t exist.

Looks like liquidation is the likely outcome.

Never seen so many clubs fold since the football league voted in the FFP rules. Need to go back to the drawing board and scrap it!

[Ardwick Green Blue]

I have to say a few on here are adopting a Billy Big Bollocks attitude based on perceived slights in the past. I was at Wembley when they won but so what? It is a club with a supporter base that has been screwed over.

Let's not be like the condescending Rags when we were shite and they were winning trophies for fun.

 

[jazzy]

No club should be allowed to be run into the ground by dubious owners , apart from the rags n dippers

I tend to agree but does seem us fans and the club should turn other cheek indefinitely but carry on getting taking piss by everyone else.

By Wigan supporters? Really?
