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.

If they stay up this season it should go down as one of the greatest escapes of all time. They've won 7 of the last 9, are currently 4 points off survival if the 12 point deduction is upheld and their next three are against Barnsley, Hull and Charlton

It’d be 5 points

I really hope they escape the drop.

I really hope they do stay up, and fuck over the agenda they are facing from their owner.

Ditto. I'm finding myself keeping an eye on their results and position hoping they survive
