I'm sick of saying it but until we improve the standard of officials nothing will change.

Sad to see Wigan Athletic go into administration, they wont be the last either 
Likely 12 pt deduction will put them bottom of the champs and likely to be relegated too

Hopefully they might be able to survive the 12pt deduction due to covid

That would pretty much guarantee championship relegation be sorted out in a courtroom you would think
The deduction for going into administration is in the rules for the leage. It has happened before to other teams, precedents have been set. Sad to see but this could be the first of a few.That would pretty much guarantee championship relegation be sorted out in a courtroom you would think

Disappointing they’re stating this is down to the Covid crisis, the Bank of England gave Spurs a £150 mil loan recently due to the Covid crisis, surely something could of been done for Wigan.
Not a dig at Spurs in anyway.

I think if a few follow suit then rules may be looked at re points decution. Not sure loan's can just be given to everyone. Spurs are obviously a safer bet re repayment.

Not comparing Wigan to Spurs, but it is Championship side to PL, they are currently safe and if next season returns to normal they’ll have decent income, their last financial report showed a £9mil loss so the loan needed may of been small compared to Spurs and I am guessing that going on the Wigan statement they’d of been OK had it not been for the Covid crisis.
They don’t publicly seem to fit the bill of a Club likely to folded anyway.?
I guess a lot will depend on how next season goes. Spurs have assets worth the loan, guess it depends how much Wigan needed.Not comparing Wigan to Spurs, but it is Championship side to PL, they are currently safe and if next season returns to normal they’ll have decent income, their last financial report showed a £9mil loss so the loan needed may of been small compared to Spurs and I am guessing that going on the Wigan statement they’d of been OK had it not been for the Covid crisis.

if they lost the 9m prior to covid then they aren’t gonna look to attractive to the banks if they’re losing it had over first now.
I don't know what the Wigan balance sheet is like but they are not knocking on the door of the PL so are they a decent bet for a loan? Most clubs in that division lose money each year, wages outdo income or are frequently at around 90%. At least with Spurs they have near guaranteed PL income, have good money coming from each home again, commerical interests, potential CL money, player sales. Clubs that were badly run before Covid will be exposed further by the loss in matchday income.Disappointing they’re stating this is down to the Covid crisis, the Bank of England gave Spurs a £150 mil loan recently due to the Covid crisis, surely something could of been done for Wigan.

From the looks of it Wigan will not go under, this is partly about restructuring debt, protecting the club from folding. They will take the hit short term to survive long term.

Nice start. Lovely first goal, and got our first penalty of the season. Love to see it.

Xhaka and goal in the same sentence normally means he has messed up and conceded.
Not this time.
