Macclesfield Town I suspect.
Wigan has always been much more of a Rugby League town. Sad though, they achieved big things.
Bury, Bolton, Wigan and Oldham all struggling, all within a twenty five mile radius of each other and all over shadowed by City, United, Everton and Liverpool. Makes you realise how well Burnley have done, not just to survive but to thrive.
will they complete their fixtures? They have played well since the break and looked to be clear of relegation; now only 4 points from safety after deduction with decent goal difference. Bet the Preston fans are happier with this news than the match currently on
When I heard the news I immediately thought "is this a gamble? They know they are in good form and will only be 4 points from safety and feel they can avoid the drop".
Players included in the decision making?
I was thinking the same thing, on current form, they should stay up, even with the 12 point penalty.
It would be like Derby losing the next 2 games and then admitting financial irregularities.
Birmingham accepted a 9 point 'punishment' last season when they realised that it was unlikely that they would get relegated or lose promotion because of it.

So if the bet would yield more than the initial outlay, and not meeting running costs costs nothing, and loses 12 points to help win the bet.... the plans a good un
And as for the club, someone will buy them out of administration maybe, but in reality,, does the gambler care?
True but not half as much fun
The Wigan fans are starting a petition against it, claiming it's the EFL's fault?
They let the owners take charge, so therefore they shouldn't be deducted points?
Weird if you ask me. That's like getting a mortgage, passing the back ground checks, then welching on payments.
What do you mean you're repossessing my house? lol
If they think they've got bad owners, they need to fins a Blackpool fan for a chat
