    Knocking on for £46 million. Liquidation looms. How can this happen at such a well run club....

    Says RobboHarry, without a hint of irony, after collecting 5000 pages of useless evidence and telling the world that Wigan's problems were all Barnsley's fault.

    It isn't our fault they've spent loads of money they didn't have. The Championship prize money would only be a drop in the ocean.

    Best start throwing the rugby balls back onto the pitch and not let the mesters with money try and tell them to play football again.

    But it is our fault. We won the football games which made sure they finished in the bottom 3 after their points deduction, which they then had to appeal.

    They can go back to egg chasing and reform like their tinpot rivals Bury had to after cheating also.

    Looking like they might go if a buyer not found before end of Month ! As much as they have shown vitriol (misplaced) towards us it’s sad if another club goes the way of Bury and could be the first of many

    They just do not get it. Genuinely, they’ve told themselves the lie about being a well-run club so many times that’s it’s become the truth in their world. Very sad to see.

    Didnt the Administrator say yesterday that he'd set a deadline of 31st of August to sell it. Suspect liquidation next if not. What could leg them up is if a large amount of debt is football related debt. It cant be settled unless settled in full in order to get the share in the league back. Quite possibly not worth it for a buyer of a league one club

    Normally I’d be sad but I’ve never encountered fans with such chips on their shoulders. Not an ounce of accountability between them and still flogging the “lack of dignity” from Reds fans.

    I know what you mean BrunNer but don’t judge them all by a few idiots who post messages. Imagine if someone did that to us!
    As others have said, the fans who have been with them since lower and non-league days are probably the silent majority and do realise it’s self inflicted.

    What about FFP as well. They owe more than the £39 million limit don't they?

    This Christmas when t'monopoly comes out I'm going just borrow endlessly from the bank. I'm going to sell all my hotels to myself at inflated prices. If anyone argues I'm going to say I have a rich benefactor who can invest whatever he likes, competition be damned. I'll sponsor myself with the cash from flogging mince pies. When the nephew starts rooarin' I'll remind him how ******* classy I am and that he should be grateful to finish behind such a well-run player like me.

    There’s no limit to how much you owe on FFP. The limit is in losses over a 3 year period.
