Quotes from Phil Wilkinson below:

Just had 20 minutes with the administrator at the DW Stadium. Transcribing now, and video interview soon.
Some key points:
- Intention is to finish season
- Confident of finding a buyer
- Club 'well run day to day'... money just hasn't arrived from owner

- Plan is to find a buyer, rather than break up and sell-off training ground, players etc
- Spoken to manager, who was shocked.. but positive attitude. He'll be informing players
- Won't impact on Warriors' use of DW.

Is that a 10 point deduction?
I like Wigan and Paul Cook and was hoping they'd stay up

Re: O/T Latics in administration : Wed Jul 01, 2020 12:52 pm  

12 isnt it?

12 point deduction at end of season so finish 12 clear or they go down

Is it not 12pts deduction at the start of the next season?

No it's either finish 12 points clear of relegation this season, or start next season in L1 on -12.

Not technically.

At the end of the season if Latics are in the bottom 3 they go down and start on -12.

If they're outside the bottom 3 then a 12 point deduction is applied which could see them relegated, but there would be no deduction next season.

I'm not a fan of theirs but I hope they survive. I've worked in Wigan for 16 years and know about the rivalry between the two clubs. The mood on here is mainly one of sympathy but I have to say I'm not sure it would be the same if the situation was reversed.
