Well, just Wigan really. Oh and Hull.
Two Rugby League towns...rugby score.
If the story is true that someone bought them, in order to get them relegated due betting purposes, then it'll be poetic justice.
Not only will they have lost the money purchasing the club, they will have lost the money on the bet also and maybe will have upset some nasty people in other parts of the world.
Unfortunately, Wigan didn't quite make it.
But, now there's potentially another headache for the EFL, what happens if Wigan successfully appeal their 12 point deduction, will Barnsley then take legal action, will the championship have 25 teams next season?
I'm not sure how you can appeal against an absolute rule, but stranger things have happened
Completely agree...something to do with a ‘force majeure’ apparently, but you’re more likely to understand such legalistic terminology.Quote:

But, are Wigan arguing that they have been victims of a betting scam, which was passed by the EFL?Quote:
