The remaining wages are due to to paid by Tuesday. The Latics were deducted three points in March for paying players late three previous times in the 2022-23 campaign.

Players have been given Saturday off from training before the team's final game of the season on Monday at home to Rotherham. The statement added that the owners 'are working hard to ensure that this is rectified as soon as possible and apologise again for the stress this has caused'. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65510041

It means the Latics will start on minus eight points in League One for 2023-24. Owner Abdulrahman Al-Jasmi failed to lodge the money to cover the club's next wage bill by Wednesday's deadline. The club were handed an initial four-point deduction last week for two previous late payments, with an extra four-point penalty suspended......

Whiskey Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 Their fans are proper weird cunts, so this is one of the football club demises that I'm enjoying. -8 is fantastic, hopefully -12 before August.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 6, 2023 Subscriber Posted June 6, 2023 21 years old? Daddy's money I presume. Not many people I knew at 21 who I'd trust to run a bath let alone a football club.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted June 12, 2023 Author Subscriber Posted June 12, 2023 Quote Wigan Athletic: HMRC lodges winding-up petition against League One club His Majesty's Revenue & Customs has lodged a winding-up petition against Wigan Athletic over unpaid tax bills, with a hearing date of 26 July. It follows the English Football League placing the Latics under a transfer embargo last week for breaching league rules on tax payment. Wigan will begin the League One season after relegation with an eight-point deduction for late payment of salaries. It also understood money is outstanding from last month's salary payments. The club has said it is in the process of being sold but one of the interested parties, 21-year-old businessman Sarbjot Johal, failed to gain EFL approval for his proposed purchase of Morecambe earlier this year. Winding-up petitions can be resolved by payment of debt or by arrangement of a payment plan with the creditor, in this case HMRC itself. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65881568
Dave Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 Sounds like the best outcome they could have hoped for.
