King's comparison with the Andersons at Bolton is absolutely spot on, right down to the chairman's Twitter activities. Al-Jasmi plays the role of Ken, Talal the role of Lee. They try and placate fans by saying everything is under control, meanwhile behind the scenes, things spiral and spiral until it's too late. It's clear the UK directors (Mal, Markham etc) are powerless. They know is little as we do and are simply dancing to the Bahraini's tune.
If the club is going down the same route as the Anderson's at Bolton, then get ready because it's going to be a slow and painful death. As long as these chancers continue to demand the totally unrealistic price they currently are to buy the club. At least admin would take the club out of their hands, but then how would the wages be paid month to month until a new buyer emerges? The club are currently spending around £150 for every £100 generated. The fans won't be able to subsidise this amount in fundraising and the transfer window is shut.
Whilst this is pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things because at this stage I'd be surprised if Wigan Athletic still exists in its current form by August. But if the club are still around to compete next season in L1, then that campaign is already now a write off due to the actions of the owners. When you factor in future points deductions, playing staff leaving on mass, no doubt an embargo in place, we will start as favourites to go down into L2.
