    Wigan Athletic

    Latest buy out has fell through four months after the EFL refused to waive the points deduction on condition of the contract being signed.

    They could never have agreed that so it sounds like the buyers just wanted an excuse to back out.

    Massive fall from grace continues for them which is a reminder of how well Uncle Tony runs our club.

    According to the Independant newspaper, the Spanish bidder cut his offer by 50%, the administrators declined the offer.

    The Administrator was on talksport earlier. Him and Simon Jordan were being shirty with each other. They spoke about the reasons there.

    The Spaniards have lost their 500k deposit and sited the points deduction according to him on Jim White earlier.

    Roly. They have a really promising young striker Kyle Joseph (catch his goals versus Burton) who we could have possibly part exchanged for Tilt but apparently we are not interested.

    Wonder if Tilt was sent back to the Millers, to save the administrators at Wigan paying a wage.

    Wigan had Matt Palmer ex-Miller on loan, his loan spell up, so returns to Swindon Town.

    If the administrator had accepted the 50% reduced offer it would have meant a 15 points deduction.
    Some other buyers will step in sooner rather than later.
    Three months wasted imo.
