They paid £3m for Kieffer Moore, 2.5m for Jamal Lowe, £2m for Antonee Robinson and over £1m for Joe Williams at the start of this season. Hardly surprising they need cash urgently particularly as some of those transfer fees are probably on staged payments.
Hats off to the Wigan players responding in the right way to the recent travails and the prospect of a possible 12 point deduction - they are currently 7-0 up against Hull

The Hull manager should leave the half time teamtalk to our Baz.

Why am I suddenly more nervy about next season now!
Actually that's a very poor analogy @eric_plant.
It's more like the wife complaining her jewellery has been stolen when the husband has given the keys to the house to the burglar.
I'm with @eric_plant here. Yes, technically owners are part of a club. But this owner didn't even make a bona fide attempt to begin running the club. For all we know he could literally be a Man City fan, upset that Wigan beat them in the cup final years ago. He never made any action implicit of care for the wellbeing of the club, as far as I am aware. So it seems extremely harsh to benefit a club that was basically temporarily hijacked for seemingly the sole purpose of placing them in administration.
I know the whole thing is a Pandora's box if you let someone off, but this case is so utterly bizarre that it defies convention, even in a world that contains owners such as those who run/ran Bury, Oldham, Macclesfield etc.

It is a loss of 6 million of income, not the sum to pay for wages. They will also have trade debtors to pay.

7-0 at half-time. I’ve seen Wycombe do that.

Would be great if they could stay up - especially if this whole shambles turns out to be about a large bet.
Their owner enquired about putting them into administration before he'd even completed the takeover. This absolutely stinks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53807173
How anyone can support them being deducted points is beyond me.
Like sending you to prison for having your house burgled

Nice spot of victim blaming there
Good for you mate

Well this doesn't sound good at all.
They're trying to be the next Portsmouth.
Already bottom of league 1 and inevitable 12 point deduction coming
