If their fit and proper tests can't spot this sort of behaviour then I font see how the EFL can be deemed fit and proper. Absolute scandal. In the legal battle we will inevitably end up fighting with them I reckon Mel will absolutely smash them. I think the day they allowed Forest to be bought by someone being investigated for match fixing proved they are totally and utterly incompetent.

Sith Happens Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Reading staff who have been furloughed haven't received any money. A fan raised concerns with the EFL in May and the EFL said they weren't interested. I suspect the EFL will totally distance themselves from this.

Mucker1884 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Local MP Lisa Nandy and Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham have called for an investigation into Wigan Athletic's recent takeover. "There are also serious questions to be asked about the EFL's processes, with the club's new owner being approved just a matter of days before it was plunged into administration. Nandy, the MP for Wigan and also shadow foreign secretary, described Wigan's entry into administration as a "major global scandal" in a letter to culture secretary Oliver Dowden earlier this week. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53291951 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Wigan's next 2 fixtures are Hull (H) & Charlton (A). Final game Fulham (H) who'll likely be confirmed 4th by then, so may well rest a few. If they beat Hull on Tuesday then, unless Barnsley or Luton win, they will be out of the relegation places on goal difference even with a 12 point deduction. They could well win all 3 of their remaining games. They still have a great chance of staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I don’t see how a points deduction can be applied in these circumstances. the move into administration has nothing to do with the financial performance of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 The EFL assume that rational behaviour is for owners to not call in debts and they seem genuinely surprised that someone has done just that. Without detailed financial analysis you cannot really tell whether that's a sensible decision but it just might be..... The whole edifice is tottering.
