We could easily have been the target of this kind of scam, a saving grace being the high profile of the club.
They’ve likely thought that nobody would be shocked by ‘little Wigan’, but the fact that they did it all so quickly was an instant alarm bell.
They haven’t even tried to cover it up. If the EFL supposedly insist on there being a £10million contingency for a takeover, there should be grounds for them to then claim that money and keep the club out of administration.
Again, the EFL won’t do this, no doubt that the ‘proof of funds’ money was pinged back out of the club before the ink dried.
