Looks like the EFL will make sure Wigan gets relegated

Fit and proper ownership test proved to be an utter shambles yet again ? ?.? The Club only changed hands in 2018 !

Would be interesting to know the 10-15 other clubs close to going the same way.

Six hundred employees at Wigan Athletic can’t quite understand that.

Also 29 August being suggested as the start of 20/21.
