Wigan Athletic: Latics fail to pay players for fifth time this season

Wigan Athletic have failed to pay all players on time on the fifth occasion this season.

BBC Radio Manchester understands some of the first-team squad have been paid for this month while others have not.

A club statement said chairman Talal Al Hammad had on Friday paid 'as many employees as possible within the organisation with the resources available'.

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.

More delays a couple of months ago meant further charges were brought against the club for a breach of requirements set by the English Football League.

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'.

Wigan Athletic given second four-point deduction after missing funding deadline

Wigan Athletic have been given a second four-point deduction for next season after failing to meet an English Football League funding deadline.

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......

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.

Didn’t you live there for a long time or something?

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.
