Wigan into administration..

As the furlough schemes start to end and employers have to contribute, I wonder if this is the first of many?

They've won 4 of their last 5 aswell, but a 10 point deduction would put them bottom of the league.

Guarnteed Jack !

Many many businesses are going to collapse and there will be huge job losses not just in the UK but around the world, its a depression of biblical proportions and football will pro-rata be more affected than most simply because it relies on people to pay to watch it , and if they can't because they have no spare cash or because of social distancing, it relies on owners "charity" and if thats not forcoming .......

I think there will be loads. Double figures wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

When the furlough scheme finishes we will know more. There could be a methaphorical "blood bath" when swathes of players are made redundant as owners have no income to pay them.

I think a lot of clubs will simply have to just keep kids and "play and pay" players to survive.

Irrelevent how we operate the "industry" is certainly potentially down the proverbial creek with no paddle .

That’s pretty much what I am expecting. We might end up starting next season (whenever that is) back in the FL by virtue of the fact we’re still standing.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the FL allowed some clubs to “reset” their finances due to special circumstances of Covid and not punish them. More that get in trouble, more likely they will be flexible.

Football finances need a massive reset, but when Clubs go into administration it has massive negative effects for suppliers, local businesses and employees.

The salaries for players, especially at the higher levels need to be realigned. They were completely unstable before COVID, but even worse now.

Agree with you Red - and one way forward would be to insist that each club has to lodge the amount of two or three months wages of its entire payroll based on an average of the season before in a bond held say by the FA or similar. .

If the club then get into financial problems there will be that fallback £££ for the employees and if then the club cannot replenish the bond they should not be allowed to continue the season.....hard medicine but much needed.

That would open up a whole can of worms ...

they only got these new owners at wigan about a month ago. could be a case of taking advantage of the situation. hong kong leisure and casino interests who have not either taken or past the owners test for what that is worth. would anyone on here fancy a new owner like them.
