Anyone would be crazy to buy Latics at the moment.
From a financial perspective, much cheaper to let them go bust and negotiate with the Administrators.

My thoughts on Latics facing a winding up order.....

Let me put it this way. When Maurice Lindsay died i read many filthy comment on their board about his death so my thoughts on Latics and the HMRC... i will quote on of the posts i read

'What a shame'

I do find it hilarious now the realisation of whats happening to them is sinking in, they are begging for Danson to buy them. Just hang fire Mike, You can have the stadium for nowt in a month or two and the rates on a Rugby stadium are a lot more agreeable than those on a football one.

Give it a couple of months, and the knuckledragging, rugby-hating grunts that peddle this bile will be so desperate for the Latics to be saved, they'll happily sit in a red seat with the Warriors' Crest carved into it at the newly named New Central Park.

I genuinely think they'd stop watching them they hate us that much

As i have said previously, f**k em

Sounds like Danson has bought the football club. That is fantastic news for all concerned IMO.

queue the faux outrage

Hope he’s still committed to us too and doesn’t lose interest and focus on the football.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the deal is to take over all the creditors (Hmrc, players, Sodexo etc)and Danson pays the current owners a £1. Potentially a canny deal by Danson.
Wigan Sporting Club I’ve heard has been formed for the takeover.
Will be interesting to see who becomes the ceo of the Latics. I genuinely have no idea but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Leneghan’s mate who ran Oxford Utd for him and who is on the group company that owns Wigan RL.

Yes that could be a concern but I believe a new company has been formed for the deal which presumably and hopefully will include us at some point in the near future.
Interesting times.

This is perfect. Both clubs on an equal footing under the same banner. The success of one helps the success of the other. No more taunts of being tenants at the stadium - both clubs own it.

Hopefully the fact that it's a Warriors shareholder that has saved the day will quash some of the bad blood and we can move forwards with better relations.

I'd like a £1 or 2 on it being Jonathon Jackson

Is that the Oxford Utd guy Jukes or an associate of Leneghan?

He was CEO of Latics from about 2010
Also his dad was a director of latics back in the day

Hes massively well thought of by Latics fans
Also
He was very well liked by leneghan when the original Admin was put in place 2020 and Leneghan was trying to do what is happening now I.e. Wigan Sporting Club (P.S, have no doubt IL is well involved behind the scenes of this deal).
With all potential options and buyers that IL brought to the table etc he wanted them to involve Jonathon Jackson
They had/have a very good working relationship

I'd be confident that IL will.steer Danson to JJ and I would agree it would be a great move

Cheers Jukes.
Obviously not the guy who I thought might have had a chance
