There is something very odd going on here. Money laundering? A public company trying to protect it's listing on a stock exchange? It does call into question not for the first time how competent the football authorities are to deal with takeovers when dealing with overseas businessmen. It is so unfair to see people's well loved team being used as a commodity to be bought and sold like a bag of sugar. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...istration-four-weeks-after-hong-kong-takeover
No idea what to make of this, but it raises some interesting question. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1279000646335836163.html
It means someone has stuffed up badly - the takeover should never have been sanctioned. That's no comfort to the Wigan players & fans who look like losing their club.
Just shows despite some of the criticism the Pozzos get we are lucky to have people running the club who actually care about football and the club. Not many set of owners can say that - easy to love it if you can spend big and win the league but at our level of club its probably quite rare these days - particularly if they are from overseas. After all Dave Whelan did for Wigan building them up be sad to see them go just because people haven't done their jobs correctly.
I wonder what, if any, political ramifications there will be because of this. If the government go ahead with their apparent offer of UK passports to three million Hong Kong residents, I'd imagine there'd be many none too happy with that.
Shocking situation. The club at the very least should not end up having points docked.. In some ways the system of governance operated by the efl has failed...
