You are wrong on the price- a huge 30k I seem to remember mumblings that a few chapionship clubs were miffed at that one as they'd have taken Shinnie and probably for more than that price.

REDCAR Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Minus 8 points isn’t a season killer but will give them a big handicap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL has spent the past 48 hours in dialogue with the club in an attempt to find a positive outcome to the issue but as of 09:00 BST Friday morning the required funds have not been deposited." In a statement, Wigan chairman Talal al Hammad said an "eight-figure sum" will land in the club's account "imminently", to ensure "financial stability" until the end of next season. £8. hintonsboots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong. We took two players off them for virtually nothing when they went into admin. If i was him i'd have done the same if i'd got one back over on our s****y dealings Edited May 27, 2023 by GenBr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With them saying that they are going to reduce the playing wage budget by 65% this season then you tend to think that will hurt their chances - then again the owners there have been saying lots of things that don’t happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i was him i'd have done the same if i'd got one back over on our s****y dealings The Season had finished. Wigan had been relegated. The players didn't want to stay for a League One campaign (see the actions of Byrne when we went down) and Wigan wanted / needed the players off the wage bill. We obliged. Not really sure how that's 'shitty' tbh. When they took Shinnie it was mid season, we didn't want rid of him, nor did he want to leave. I'm not sure I'd call their actions shitty either tbh, but it's not really a like-for-like situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as they did with Shinnie. Try and twist it however you like, but our actions were s****y.

It appears fairly like for like to me. Hardly expect people to pay extra for something to be 'nice'. Especially seeing how both clubs have ended up with no money.

IslandExile Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I'm relieved to hear it. Something has to be done to redistribute the pyramid of wealth.... Oh and in football aswell. GboroRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Didn't they have a last minute buyer previous to this one or another one who was some sort of invisible billionaire, South east Asian type of investor/gambler, Put a person who didn't exist under an assumed name who ran them into the ground...with approval from those saviours in the EFL. I wouldn't hold much hope, This looks like gamesmanship or cheating as we call it, 2 directors resign as wages again not been paid so I guess another 4 points in the minus column on it's way.

We did exactly what some are moaning about and gouged the hell out of them on player values. I think in cases where the 'seller' is in admin, a tribunal should set a fair market value to ensure that clubs (like Derby) who are already suffering, are not getting dry-humped into oblivion.

Get what you're saying, but if you force sales to be at market value, you are equally hindering the ability to get money in quickly to stay afloat. If it's either accept £1m and stay in business, or the value to remain at £5m and have no one willing to pay that for the player, then I think they'd want to take the £1m.
