Anyone know how far away from the DW Pollard lives ?https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/fo...stage-of-wigan-athletic-takeover-race-3156291
This is great news. Local businessman involved (lives 35 minutes away from the DW)
Also Saul Loggenberg is involved with the takeover but will NOT be involved with the club once its complete.
Was always going to happen we will get compo due to his age so hoping he goes to the richest club possible !But of course, with good news..comes bad news. Spurs in for Joseph, currently completing their background checks

Was hoping we’d have an owner in by now to tie him down to a contract! It would be great if he went to a club and they loaned him back to us for a season, as a good will gesture.Was always going to happen we will get compo due to his age so hoping he goes to the richest club possible !
Think who ever buys us. We will be taking the 15 point hit.

Just my personal decision Jock. If the money is used to help take the club on should we not find a buyer, fine. If the money is used to purchase a significant stake in the club under promising new ownership, fine. I did not donate my money though to facilitate the starting of a brand new club with no history in tier nine playing on some local park. I support Wigan Athletic!Erm mibee they're both in the same....Wigan Athletic go bump....the SC/ Plan B / Holocaust part Z....we become Wigan Athletic in the Northern Premier...
BTW C.Latic I also donated but won't be asking for my money back if we do become a phoenix club....once a Tic, always a Tic, despite being a foreigner of sorts in this part of the world ( Ashton) - 34 years n counting if that helps !!!
For all the stick I give the SC their updates aren't badly written and address on going situations. I don't think the 12 year old the admin have writing theirs would want the extra work of having to deal with two organisations!Why don't the Admins and the SC make joint statements,
instead of confusing statements.
Stanley says the deal has ‘just gone very, very cold’.
SC: They are at an advanced stage of negotiations and,
based on our conversations,
we remain optimistic that a successful conclusion can be reached.
Are the Admins and SC working together as the statements are miles apart.
The SLO rarely comes on here, so I've posted the following over on CL (where he has a dedicated thread):
Hi Jason,
Given the very worrying statement given by Paul Stanley re the Bahraini team going very quiet, coupled with other rumours re there being no other credible bidders, and topped off by the Admins saying last friday that there’d be no further friday updates, isn’t it appropriate (and timely) that the Supporters Club issue another update. I appreciate the restrictions they’re under with regard to confidentiality, and I also understand that some people will moan if it doesn’t tell them every last little detail, but at this worrying time, something is surely better than nothing.
Most of us (I am sure) are very appreciative of their ongoing efforts, but a slight improvement in comms – even if only to give a warm vibe – would go a long way to calming down the more pessimistic element of our fanbase …….. and it’s a bloody big element !
Many thanks
The chasm between what the SC have said today and the admins yesterday is significant which given they are talking regularly is strange no ?. Someone is not being truthful here !
As T&C said all credit to you for stirring the SC into some form of commsI also understand that some people will moan if it doesn’t tell them every last little detail, but at this worrying time, something is surely better than nothing.
That sounds A really interesting bid. Same as the Royal one. I am glad we seem to be getting good bidders and not people promising roofs and players from all over world or people who thteatened go put the last club they owned into admin after a disagreement with fans.https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/fo...stage-of-wigan-athletic-takeover-race-3156291

Just playing devils advocate here Hampton but why can't both be true ?
Stanley says mid week that comms have gone cold.
SC confirm on Friday that they spoke to Barhrain group on Thursday.
Nixon confirms on Friday that Bathrain group activity has increased in the last 24 hours.
Is it just possible that Stanley's public statement gave the Bahraini's the kick up the arse that was needed to get them moving again ? If so, then you'd have to say well done Stanley, your tactic appears to have worked (albeit through gritted bloody teeth).
Ta, but I doubt my message had much to do with it. The SC update came out pretty quickly soon afterwards. I suspect it was already in the pipeline .... in which case, they deserve credit for recognising the fact it was (desperately) needed.Reet Moonay, i think a big THANK YOU is in order for the email/prompt you sent to Jason, it seemed to get a reaction, i for one have been banging on for weeks about the lack of comms from the SC so its much appreciated, it shows the admins for what they are, well done pal and thanks again.
