Dimmu Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 19 hours ago, Kernow said: It would be a remarkable achievement from the administrators if we were, even if it's in time for the January window then it would be good work. I've seen a few Wigan related discussions on Twitter in connection to our recent news, and they're somewhat inquisitive, annoyed and dismissive about how we would be able to exit administration so quickly. Wigan were in administration for 9 months, and their administrators were apparently struggling to sell them for £3mil. That spanned two transfer windows and some of the players they lost for below their true value included Gelhardt, Devine, Weir, Marshall, Byrne, Lowe and Kipre. It's incredibly refreshing to know that we still seem to be an extremely attractive purchase for multiple people, and can avoid a lot of the damage Wigan had to suffer. The sorry state of football nowadays. Other clubs fans are jealous of a club which is in administration. Tribalism has changed it's fur and while I despise hooliganism, this ain't pretty to watch either. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 2 hours ago, kevinhectoring said: Yes it wasn’t clear but his ‘3 week’ comments seemed more about the sale structure rather than the buyer’s identity I thought the "3 weeks" was to finally resolve the points deduction and debt repayments. Maybe that's what you meant by "sale structure". But yes, it's not a date for the sale - he said that would likely be the end of the year or the first week in January. Sweat on for the window.

Chester40 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 The focus definitely appeared to be about potential buyers/investors rather than the points deductions. I thought everything would be ironed out and all would be clear before the purchaser was decided, but maybe they will have more of a say than I thought?

I know all we were interested is what Hoskins had to say! At the end of the day the administrator isn’t a media presenter, so did sound apprehensive at times just because he had to think about what he was saying! Jordan sprang upon that as a reason to talk over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 My understanding was it was 3-4 weeks to decide on the route out of admin. I.e. pick the winner. hopefully wrap up the takeover by the first week in January. and then hopefully the EFL will get their fingers out and settle whatever disputes and all point deductions will be done and by the end of the season for this season. So we go into the 22/23 season with a clean slate. DCFC1388, FlyBritishMidland, QuitYourJibbaJivin and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So someone must be in top 1 then. I didn't take it like that....i thought when asked he meant he's in the top2 or 3 meaning he could be number 1, 2 or 3 Foxy Ram, Chester40, Ted McMinn Football Genius and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are aiming to sort out the EFl before the takeover He suggested EFl had been dragging feet but had ‘now’ begun to engage. the admins want buyers to sharpen their pencils and buyers can only do this if they know where we stand with EFl. Hoskins did not completely rule out that points could be deducted next season I’m worried about the EFl tbh The Gibson camp will be looking at our good form, and will reckon we can avoid the drop if we have no more than - 15 and if we strengthen in Jan. So there may be in-fighting at the EFl which might delay resolution. Edited October 28, 2021 by kevinhectoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be right now buddy. Points deductions are irrelevant if the club is liquidated, so the priority was always going to be finding investors. There is a meeting booked with the EFL as well, so there's engagement there too. FWIW, these guys seem pretty sharp cookies to me, so I think we are in good hands.

Dragging feet by the EFL, concern that we 'may' beat the drop, in fighting between members of the EFL, some of which have ongoing legal disputes with us.. what an absolute shambles. I actually wish the EFL were dealing with the break away premier league teams, the way they are dealing with us I'd expect Man U, Tottenham, Chelsea et al to be non league teams before long. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
