Long story short, the allegation is that Wigan were deliberately placed into administration at the behests of a Singapore betting firm who stand to profit from their relegation.

Easier to read format.
This is the most bizarre and corrupt scandal in English football since ITV Digital and Wimbledon/MK Dons and that is saying something. The EFL are quite obviously not fit for purpose in my opinion.
Makes it look like we have an absolute diamond in Lai.
Still have a fear it could go belly up at any time for us. If he wants to get out and get his money back, there is zero protection from the authorities to stop the same kind of thing happening.
Lai has done exactly what he said he would do, took advice on who should run the club and when they clearly weren't up to, got in people who could do a better job. We could have a lot worse.
As for the Wigan stuff, it's so massively crooked.
