here is another fact, players are paid far too much, reduce this single cost and abolish agents fees to keep budgets under control, yet so many just ignore this and pander to the whim and fancy of these overpaid arseholes.

Absolutely on the head! Agents have carved themselves a completely unnecessary position from which to gorge on cash and, are as helpful to the game - and in many cases the player they leech off - as termites in your log cabin.

seems a simple solution throughout football, pay the players less and reduce the costs, quite simple really and I am sure once league 1 and 2 clubs return this will be their attitude/need.

When there is masses of television money floating around in the game I have no objection to players being the beneficiaries of this as it is their talents that people pay to watch.

The problem is from the top down and the biggest culprits are the Premier League and Sky.

and so many who "support" PNE will always renew their Sky/media contracts allowing this to happen. The Prem should be jettisoned off into a European league, not allowed in any domestic cup comps with the Championship being the top league in English footy, salary capped too.

This is getting really uncomfortable. We have been agreeing for 2 straight days here Billy 😂

Don’t forget we should be grateful the club continued paying them their full £10,000 per week or whatever whilst not even giving the option of a refund on tickets bought. We’ve had local non league players giving up wages voluntarily however.

Hopefully we have the balls to stand up at the salary cap meeting and speak/vote in favour because I‘m almost at the point of giving up on professional football.

I posted on this elsewhere I think
Trust Me
The club is not going to tolerate any wage shenanigans
Let’s remember. Very few players came out of last season to put themselves into the superstar category which does not give them a large amount of negotiating room

I hope not but I am doubtful about the salary cap getting through - and we’re mild compared to many others.

The blame for the current situation at Wigan lies solely at the door of the EFL.

How have they approved an owner who 4 weeks later places them in admin.

If the same fate befell us would you blame the EFL or TH though? Surely the onus is on the sellers to ensure it's going into a decent pair of hands(well it will be the expectation here no doubt)

Ignore the salary cap
We will plough our own furrow on this one
As I said
Non of our players are in a position where they can call the shots
I would honestly not lose any sleep at all if any of them left
They are all very replaceable

It would depend on the situation I guess. Sometimes businesses just fail. And things go wrong my issue with Wigan is the timing.

Whatever my views about Hemmings I genuinely believe if he was to sell the club he would only do so after doing an overwhelming level of due diligence into the prospective buyer.

Hence why his son is now on the board. Unlike Jack Walker who didn't put any sort of sucession plan in place I do believe TJH has done.

What happens from that point though who knows but I wouldnt expect a quick fire sale to any random chicken farmers in India.
