I guess it relates more to us (and all club right now), must be more to come, especially in L1 and 2 which could mean farcical league tables with points deductions all over the place for those clubs that survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticMark Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Maybe Wigan's Chairman (Darren Royle) or one of the Directors (Joe Royle) would like too comment! The International Entertainment Corporation (IEC), who bought Wigan in 2018, were rumoured to have been linked with (the real) Latics before they moved on to the Plastics.

Yep - if only Norman Stoller was a Latics fan. He of the "tubular bandage" that used to be advertised on Mumps Bridge. Already given over £50m away via his charitable trusts.

I did have a conversation about latics with his secretary about 18 months ago and he was pretty sure that his charity work was his focus now. my ex boss too...well I tried hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
