Wigan Athletic Latest News for the 2021 – 2022 Football Season
- Thu, 24 Aug 2023 09:10:04 +0000: Football League: six things you may have missed so far this season - Wigan Athletic | The Guardian
Promotion hopes in East Anglia, worries in Yorkshire, surprise leaders and a fan running the line at Portsmouth
Next season marks 30 years since Norwich and Ipswich last met in the top flight. Both sides were relegated at the end of the 1994-95 season and have played each other in the second division since. Norwich have enjoyed the upper hand in recent years – they haven’t lost the East Anglian derby since 2009. That could be about to change. After four seasons spinning their wheels in League One, the Tractor Boys have returned to the Championship with a bang. Kieran McKenna’s side have won their first three games to top the table and Norwich’s unbeaten start under David Wagner suggests an “Old Farm” promotion battle could be on the cards. A tight-knit, organised outfit, Ipswich are determined to remain a “humble group” according to defender Cameron Burgess. Whether or not they maintain their impressive start, they will surely have an eye on 16 December, when Norwich come to Portman Road with that long unbeaten derby record to protect.

After dark days and fears for the future, Wigan can see the light once more, says manager Shaun Maloney
It may seem amiss to ask Shaun Maloney about pre-season optimism. As manager of Wigan Athletic he has, after all, had to contend with relegation, players and staff going unpaid, a winding-up order, a transfer embargo and “a two-to-three-week period where each day there was a big concern we might not be here the following day”. He also faces the ominous challenge of starting in League One on minus eight points. But one day in June changed the landscape vitally for Wigan and their determined manager. Optimism no longer feels such an inappropriate topic.
Maloney was alone in his office at Wigan’s training ground when he received confirmation the club had been taken over, and saved, by a company backed by the local billionaire Mike Danson. “A massive relief,” says the former Celtic, Aston Villa and Wigan winger. “I was extremely happy that 200 people’s jobs had been saved, basically. The players got paid that night, the taxman was paid and the companies around Wigan were also getting paid for the work they’ve done for us. I was also extremely grateful to Mr Danson and his team, because they had to get through a lot of work in a short period of time. I’ll never forget that day.”

- Mike Danson steps in to rescue financially troubled club
- ‘We look forward to a fresh start and planning for the season’
Wigan Athletic’s future has been secured after a company backed by the local billionaire Mike Danson purchased the financially troubled club.
Danson, the entrepreneur who founded GlobalData PLC and has a 25% stake in the Super League club Wigan Warriors, completed the purchase on Wednesday to alleviate fears that the 2013 FA Cup winners could go out of business.

- Club also lose three points though Championship season over
- Chairman apologises to players for stress caused by delays
The ignominy of relegation from the Championship in bottom spot has been worsened for Wigan by a three-points reduction, even though the regular season is already over, and by the news that the club will start the League One season in August on minus-four points.
The English Football League issued its latest sanction against the club for a failure to pay players’ wages, while the EFL said a further four-point deduction was suspended until the end of the 2023-24 season.

- Club, already relegated, are bottom of the Championship
- Players given Saturday off training ahead of Rotherham match
Wigan players have been given the day off from training on Saturday after another delay in paying wages at the stricken club.
The Latics’ relegation from the Championship was confirmed last month and they sit bottom of the table heading into the final game of the season, at home to Rotherham on Monday.
