The Palace Fan 3,180 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Wigan have made it an "immediate ambition" to return to the Premier League, according to new executive chairman Darren Royle. Royle is part of the management team installed by the club's new owners, International Entertainment Corporation PLC (IEC), who completed their acquisition of the club from the Whelan family earlier this month . Speaking to Sky Sports News, Royle said Wigan, who were relegated from the top flight in 2013 and have since spent two seasons in League One, do not intend to stay in the Championship for long. "The club has obviously been in the Premier League for eight years and done very well," he said. "It's all well documented and it's an immediate ambition in the next few years to try and get back into the Premier League as soon as possible.

Pig on the Wing 289 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hopefully their new owners actually embark on a brutal asset-stripping programme and swan off in 18 months with a delicious profit and the club dangling on the precipice of liquidation. The smugness in this north-western corner of Greater Manchester is getting unbearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
