Wigan financial woes - up for sale again? p40
Comments

If the proposed purchase includes the ground, that could make life interesting for them with the league rule about having fixture priority. That's quite hard to insist on if the club you share with are a bigger name and share ownership of the ground.MarcusH26 said:Sounds like one of the co-owners of the Wigan Warriors wants to do a deal0 -
If this local businessman chappie buys the club and the ground will he rename it Danson Park?MarcusH26 said:Sounds like one of the co-owners of the Wigan Warriors wants to do a deal5 -

Deal done it seems with Mike Danson.0 -
Takeover done (subject to the usual EFL bits)1 -
Good luck to them - never want to see a repeat of Bury FC.5

Who is Mike Danson?
edit* Wigan born Billionaire!0 -
All requisite clearances have been obtained from the English Football League “EFL”.
That's quick?0 -
Seems like when you are on the brink everyone works a lot harder to get things done.
No idea when Mr Danson made his original offer but it took Sandgaard over 5 months to agree a deal.....seems like Wigan took 5 days.0 -
Or they do a less thorough check?golfaddick said:Seems like when you are on the brink everyone works a lot harder to get things done.

Sorry, that was a Ted/tad awful.

Happy for them but hope they don't go out altering the league by paying over the odds again.2

I would imagine that one England-based person buying everything up in one go would be a much easier and quicker process than a consortium of multiple nationalities buying part of a club and negotiating with a third party over terms regarding the rest.golfaddick said:Seems like when you are on the brink everyone works a lot harder to get things done.

The (former) Wigan owners probably just wanted to get rid too instead of trying to maximise the price a la Sandgaard.
It's not all that surprising honestly.2 -
Add in that he’s already a major stakeholder of another local sports club, founder & CEO of an AIM Listed company and also The New Statesman. Had the backing of local MP and the Mayor. Easy one for the EFL to get out of the way, once he’d also lodged the funds required.thenewbie said:

Wigan away in September is on the international weekend. Looking to plan ahead. I reckon we might have 2 international players in camara and Thomas. I know we need 3 players to potentially be called off but could Wigan also have some players going away. How late will they tell us about rearranging.0

Normally 2 weeks before the International game in question.
