Also EFL Hub are suggesting that if players don't get paid by this Friday they can legally tear up their contracts and walk away. How many would is another matter.
About to get taken over as well by the sounds of it!

...with a hearing date of 26 July.
In other words, only ten days before League One begins. At least one club may not know whether they have a game on the opening day - us, perhaps.
So, avoid paying your taxes to buy League One and overspend in a failed attempt to stay in the Championship. Sod paying your dues and getting money to people who need it instead. I presume the cost of living crisis won't cast a shadow across their consciences.

On Sarfend, maybe I am too cynical, but could the news of the takeover be linked to Southend's sudden ability to pay of their own HRMC winding up order and receive a cash injection?

That is probably really unfair to Mr Ron Martin who has been a paragon of virtue throughout his tenure as Chairman of the club; or not.

Chris Wilder has had quite the fall from grace in the last couple of years.

Remains to be seen if 8 or 12 point deduction is actually applied….

And round we go again. Hopefully with him being more of a rugby man he will just keep them ticking over based on their actual income and this is more to do with keeping the stadium as a shared asset. I'm probably clutching at straws but heh ho.Sold

Just for a change, Mike Danson looks like the real deal. Whether Wigan deserve him is another matter, but, on the face of it, it looks like the best result that any Wigan fan could hope for.
On -8 points it is a big ask for them to go back up again this year, but we will have to see how much the UK's 128th richest billionairre is willing to invest in the journey.

Yes, in fairness seems a decent guy who understands technology and business funding. Born and bred in Wigan and intends giving something back. He already has has a £10 million foundation which help educate those from poorer backgrounds. Must be one of the luckiest EFL clubs that have ever existed. Still hope they go down (they won’t) due to their past breaches and cheating.
