The sun reckons Wigan needs to offload players to raise £5 million for bills due next month; and to reduce a £19 million payroll. Next month’s bills include payments to Barnsley, Everton and Birmingham. Makes you wonder what happens how much those clubs are expecting and if Barnsley and Birmingham don’t receive their money what impact it will have on them
We are so lucky to have not signed anybody for a fee*, otherwise we would no doubt be in debt to who we bought them from.

On the BBC football gossip web page this morning, the same paper is reporting the£19 million payroll has already put off 2 buyers who have walked away, and hence Wigan are desperately trying to sell players to reduce the huge payroll.

It certainly gives a different slant to their situation. Big payroll AND chunky transfer money due to be paid to other clubs.

Living way beyond their means would suggest that FFP was coming to get them.
I suspect that Wigan will be smashed because they aren't Leeds, Sheff W or Birmingham...
Absolute cowards.
Leeds? Leeds fans hate the EFL and think they were scapgoated.
Yes. The bigger the club the more leniency from the footballing authorities.
Manchester City apparently have done nothing wrong propelling themselves from a perennial 2nd division outfit to Premier League winners, it's rags to riches i tell you, a real Roy of the Rovers story.

But the EFL have hammered Leeds in the past, which was my point, countering your original comment. In fact I think it's only Luton and Bolton who have been docked more points.
But they let the "big boys" like Macclesfield off.
There are inconsistencies and an apparent randomness but it's wrong to say they only go after the small clubs.
I still maintain that the bigger your perceived "profile" in the game as a club, the less chance you have of being dealt with in a proportionate and equal manner to a less fashionable club. As for Leeds, hammered yes, but that would only make me wonder what the fuck they have got away with.
I would say that we have now reached the tipping point. Football is now so corrupt, perversely so and with the shake out from covid we are going to see much more of this. Us, Brum, Sheff W, Wigan this season all in just one division requiring sanction metted out by ruling bodies not fit for purpose.

Please don’t let facts get in the way of a narrative.
I've just caught up with last night's Quest Championship action. Colin Murray seemed to be implying that Wigan's points deduction may be increased. Anyone know anything about this? Hadn't heard that any appeal could be ruled frivolous and increased before.

*Macca aside for £200k.
The EFL must have made them buy all those players they couldn't really afford.
Absolute cowards.

A £19 million pound wage bill for a club that get about a 10,000 attendance. Something is very wrong IMO.

I feel less stressed again.
Unless we are going to beat them Saturday?
