    Summer transfer thread

    Personally I think MK were the best team I saw last season. We had a great start to the campaign but once Wyke and then McClean were out, we didn't look like league winners. We hung on, but could have easily finished in the playoffs. Also not sure where this idea that lg1 is all battling hoof...

    Yeah I get what you're saying, but the club is being run on barely nothing - so it surely would need more investment from now until the end of the season to get back up to scratch? I'm not sure us group of fans would be so accepting of a new owner who comes in and just keeps the status quo...

    Yeah, I'm not sure the exact ins and outs of the non-football creditors but I remember reading the deadline was in March some time? after which we would be deducted 15 points if not paid(?) - so that's another reason, just from a PR perspective, who's going to want to be the guys that come in...

    Realistically I don't see anyone being 'pipped to the post' - I don't think we're a sort after commodity, certainly not enough to start a frenzied bidding war (which we have obviously seen since July). Not to mention that it takes around 3 months for anyone to get through the process so you can...

    Exactly this. What advantage would anyone have taking over now? Surely any potential owner will just sit and wait until it is absolutely necessary to take over from their point of view. There is no chance of any income now and no real way to influence on pitch performance to stay up so I suspect...

    Gelhardt

    Ah I didn't see that. Like "Ooohaaahdonniepage" said, strange we didn't have a loan back agreement in there, he probably would have played every week for us in lg 1. Oh well

    Gelhardt

    Random one, but has anyone heard any rumours or news about Joe? On FPL he is still not showing as a Leeds player, so I am wondering does that mean they have not registered him (?) and in which case could it mean he is going out on loan......maybe back to us? Wishful thinking but it is strange...

    "best thing for WAFC since Amr Zaki"? Surely that is not possible...:LOL:

    As I understand it, the whole Lenegan approach was that he was fronting a consortium, so who's money and how much of it is there who knows. As for the way he announced it, I think emotions were running high at the time and it didn't feel so grotesque (at least not to me) when he said he wanted...

    It's fine I get it, you don't like Lenegan. Anything else you are saying is just made up.

    100% agree about the admins and reporters, which is why I will reserve judgement until something concrete comes out about who is bidding and what their plans are . I don't think it's wise/fair to make any assumptions about peoples motives, or that anyone is better than anyone else, based on...

    I've never said it's a simple no - I've never even said that they wouldn't be good owners. My point is purely that you are demonising Lenegan for his apparent motives of buying our club, and then making out a bunch of people we'd never heard of before a rumour in The Scum are any different...

    Pretty sure you could have written the exact same thing about our previous owners, and that didn't turn out as planned. Fact is, with no connection to Wigan, as a town or football club, there is only one reason a foreign investor would want to buy the football club, and that is nothing to do...

    exactly! nothing stacks up. As far as I can see the owners would have been far better off waiting till the end of the season, selling a load of players and putting the club up for sale! makes no sense.
