@AbramLatic @johndanbatch @PKendrickWIG Which is why I chuckled at the 80/20., 80% great. I’m not sure I’d put Murray in that bracket - scored enough and plenty assists

@johndanbatch @2parkie @PKendrickWIG That's absolutely true but I'd hazard a guess they can be more wasteful in good positions than a few L1 wingers

These two deservedly singled out for praise in the upturn under Gary Caldwell...both been great at both ends of the field in positions they hadn't played before this season... #wafc

@reluctantnicko Is this Rudy involved with us #wafc Talk of being at the last two games.

Steals the stadium. Sells assets thus only loses a few hundred £K, and the money he has put in are actually down as loans. Fleeced. #wafc
Adam Brooks@Adam_Brooks99
#wafc have now published their financial information for the 2024/25 season, reporting a £397k loss after a significant £7.5m profit on player sales. This would be the culmination of selling Charlie Hughes, Thelo Aasgaard and Josh Stones. Full report: wiganathletic.com/news/2026/marc…

New kit deal will mean a whole new direction for Latics...isn't this quote bang on?! 🤣 #wafc
"I'm sick of seeing us in the same tracksuits as every other club, and seeing Sam Tickle in the same goalkeeping kit as his opposite number every single week..."

@WAFCFAN2013 Free ticket if you didn’t take advantage for Bradford #wafc

Things happened even quicker than I thought and it’s a shame the feel good factor disappeared after the appointment of GC - kick in the guts but it is what is for now.
Get the pub, have a few scoops 🍻and a few more after the game with your mates, they’ll be there. #wafc

In our quest for sustainability we cut the budget in the year 1, cut the budget in year 2 and will be cutting it further in year 3. It’s managed decline getting us to a position where the owner is happy to lose an amount of money as quickly as possible. Too quickly for me. #wafc

@PKendrickWIG I’m not sure how the last bit stakes up. It’s sold and the owners can do what they want, they own it.
They can promise but don’t need to deliver. They also invest more, convert to shares and the Danson stake goes down. #wafc
English

OWNERSHIP STATEMENT! #wafc
* Danson family took decision to explore options for bringing additional investment
* Decision taken by ownership, NOT wider board
* "We will not hand this club to anyone who does not share our commitment to its stability, community role, and future"

Doesn’t say much cos it can’t. They don’t want to invest significant monies so if they do sell 51% they will have limited influence.
If someone comes in and invests and they don’t then their stake will be diluted further.
They do have control who they sell to, to protect them.

📋 An official update from the Wigan Athletic Ownership Group. #wafc 🔵⚪️

@WhiteHorseFinal @OnTheBeach1932 @PKendrickWIG Not sure about the rugby club bit regards income , but certainly the new stadium co. Rent will most likely be market rate significantly higher than the rugby will have paid Mr Whelan et al.
We always knew it was about protection.
English

@OnTheBeach1932 @PKendrickWIG @2parkie Danson will try to tie new owners into a lease to provide income for the rugby club.
He got the stadium for a song (less than it cost to build over two decades ago) and will continue to milk the football club.
English

One 'normal' day in this job. Has never happened. And will never happen. #wafc

@OnTheBeach1932 @PKendrickWIG I believe the fella at Derby a while back wanted the same but no one touch him. Mel Morris? I suspect the 20% is protection for his asset.
English

@PKendrickWIG @2parkie Call me cynical but no-one is buying a football club without a stadium.
English

@PKendrickWIG Next Bulletin should be interesting, the last one seemed to try and tie us in knots (spin) try to placate some fans and Fans forum if it happens. #wafc

@2parkie The evidence appears to be compelling...it's there in black and white...
