We can't bank om Wigan being deducted points. There is a legal appeal being considered due to a clause saying unless you can show good reason beyond your control. They are going to appeal on the grounds of Covid Link to post Share on other sites

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Until the points deduction actually happens, we shouldn't factor it in. They will be challenging the deduction, so we will need to wait and see what happens with their appeal. That said the results today are certainly going in our favour, however they are meaningless unless we win/draw tomorrow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Warnock highlighted them two as the real dangers in his presser today. Was asled about Hugill and said he done well and quickly moved on to Eze n Samuel. Said they will cause us more problems than Hull did going forward so we need to be on it. Link to post Share on other sites
diggerlad07 3,695 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Read this link, honestly there is no chance of Wigan not getting deducted the 12pts this season and now I totally understand why the EFL have come out with their strong statement. I really sorry for the Wigan fans as how shocking the club has been getting run. Unfortunately the blame has got to be put on the EFL shoulders. How they approved this type of takeover is beyond me.

Rioch's Braves 711 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Hell I'm a compassionate man, deduct Wigan 12 points relegate them, then give them the 12 points back next season on appeal, thus starting League1 12 points clear, that's always been my problem too big hearted. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

EFL is an absolute joke. I don’t understand how it’s so bad at running it’s three divisions. Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the rumours were that their owner was banking on them being relegated? It sounds about as certain as a deduction can get from what I've read. Link to post Share on other sites

I saw that too, but by deducting the 12 points and condemning Wigan to relegation, the EFL are effectively letting the new owner win the massive bet that he has placed. Surely the owner should be punished, not the club, it’s an absolute scandal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

As much as its unfair on their supporters they need to be punished with more than 12 points to make other owners realise you cant get away with it. Link to post Share on other sites
