    Depends if it turns out to be anything other than a Twitter conspiracy theory.

    Wigan's administrators have now brought in an agency to look into selling players, in case they can't find a buyer quickly.

    Well then.

    They seem like very nice fellows.

    Do they fancy owning a club in East Yorkshire, per chance?

    If there’s anything in that the league need to take a long hard look at themselves for sanctioning the deal in the first place. Appalling.

    I’m sure I’ve heard Dave Whelan had offered to step back in. They have also had interested parties in buying.

    There are people out there interested in buying football clubs. You just need to want to sell.

    The EFL's definition of 'fit and proper' is quite concerning considering how many times this **** has happened in recent years.

    Dodgy betting syndicate involved. They think the rug was pulled to ensure relegation as allegedly they have been heavily backed for relegation - I think.

    @Chazz Rheinhold you can't fool us with the bumbling Columbo-esque 'I don't get it approach' , we know you're really omnipotent, or a word like that...

    The EFL don't actually have a 'fit and proper' person test, they have an 'owners' and directors' test', which is basically just a check to see if you're a bankrupt, or have criminal convictions, it doesn't check to see whether someone's a decent person.

    It’s on the twitter link. Basically a dodgy betting syndicate bought them and had them heavily backed for relegation.

    Don't forget the fact that their new owners don't seem to actually exist.

    I hope Wigan get enough points so that even with a 12 point deduction they don't finish in the bottom three. Maybe the teams they have yet to play who are "on the beach" could oblige?

    Even though the team that goes down instead might well be us?

    Obviously the new, improved Hull City 2.0 will be fine on our own merit.
