Wigan Athletic yesterday were the first to fall into administration in the world’s most financially vulnerable league, the English Championship. They were mid-table and on a winning streak, so if they can find the money to complete their remaining games, there is a chance they will avoid relegation, despite the points deduction.
With former owner, Dave Whelan, still alive and still rich, they are probably better placed to recover from this than most in the Championship, but I doubt Dave is prepared to cover years of contracted losses to fill the bank accounts of players.
If the great structural change in football that Celtic fans have been waiting on for decades does not happen in the months to come, it never will.
Most players in the English Football League have had their wages deferred, while some have been furloughed. Taxes have also been deferred, so the crunch lies ahead.
I am not a Mike Ashley fan but the manner in which he trolled yesterday Newco was spectacular. Sports Direct’s Facebook page announced Newco strips would be available exclusively from the retailer they continually believe they were rid of. The club statement that followed was an excruciating attempt to confirm nothing while not contradicting a word of the Sports Direct statement.

Happy birthday Jobo!
Looks loke that brolly will be handy this weekend!
Thanks again!
Happy Birthday to EK’s finest Jobo.hh
It says a lot about our economy that it is so dependant on consumption. Pubs, restaurants and hairdressers opening is seen as the saviour – very sad

i feel sorry for future generations
we have no manufacturing any more
and soon all the tech jobs will be done in india
all there will be is a gaggle of fat cats and a layer of managers and lower paid shop work being the only place of mass employment
unfortunately the small cabal of people engineering the country into this shape dont give a shit about all these things.
they dont care about the uk economy or unemployment rates because they will still cream millions a year from the system
When I said EK’s finest I forgot aboot big Bada…..have a good day anyway :O)
Bada
Surely that should be leg end 🤭
Happy Hoopy Birthday Jobo.
🍾🥂🍰🍀
Let’s all
Unlike Germany who still depend on their middle size companies (der Mittelstand) we can survive on the City and ride the globalization horse. Hopefully if we piss the Chinese off enough they may ban exports to us. If we’ve learned anything from this recent tragic pandemic it’s our fragility on reliance of others for key supplies. Highlighted by the USA buying the world’s next 3 month supply of a drug.
Foodbank day – back later.
Gene- I’ll need to have a word with him….☹
