I'm backing anyone who puts the money down. I've got nothing at all against Frampton, I'm desperate for him/his backer to put the money down and prove once and for all that they are serious. Doesn't mean that I think it'll happen though unfortunately. Darren Royle is obviously still keen and credit to him for not giving up, ultimately though where is he going to get his hands on 3 million quid plus the rest?
My horse was always with the French Americans at the saddle. I said at the time that they were our best hope of getting out of this with a chance of being able to recover relatively quickly and if they fucked off then we'd be in big trouble. Nixon knew it as well. The administrators signed our death warrant with how they treated them.
At this point, I think we're fucked I really do. No fan income for the foreseeable future, the club on the way to League Two which means less TV/EFL money. We may be able to stagger through the season providing we sell Kyle Joseph/Tom Pearce/Sean McGurk, get the rest of the big earners off the wage bill and the EFL show us some sympathy. However, that's a big ask and it's more likely that we get the dreaded two week deadline before getting kicked out of the league that Bury/Bolton got when the money runs out sometime next month.
I truly believe one of two things will happen now. Either the WASC will buy the club for the £1.5m price using a mixture of the 800k raised by the fans, along with cash investments from local businessmen most likely rallied by Jonathan Jackson, with the DW Stadium sold to Pollard. This was the "last resort card" that has been referred to by Lisa Nandy in her previous interviews. Or it's all over and AFC Wigan/Athletico Wigan/whatever folk want to call it will kick off 2021/22 in the NW Counties League playing home games at Ashton Town.
