Wigan Athletic: HMRC lodges winding-up petition against League One club By Simon Stone BBC Sport Last updated on16 minutes ago16 minutes ago. From the sectionWigan His Majesty's Revenue & Customs has lodged a winding-up petition against Wigan Athletic over unpaid tax bills, with a hearing date of 26 July.
It follows the English Football League placing the Latics under a transfer embargo last week for breaching league rules on tax payment.
Wigan will begin the League One season after relegation with an eight-point deduction for late payment of salaries.
It also understood money is outstanding from last month's salary payments.
The club has said it is in the process of being sold but one of the interested parties, 21-year-old businessman Sarbjot Johal, failed to gain EFL approval for his proposed purchase of Morecambe earlier this year.
Winding-up petitions can be resolved by payment of debt or by arrangement of a payment plan with the creditor, in this case HMRC itself.

Hopefully Danson or someone else comes up with a solution that has Wigan RL owning the stadium and the rugby club finds itself in a position to drive revenues and profits up rather than being left with an expensive off-season without any soccer rent.
Not too bothered what happens to Latics, but hope there is an outcome that works for WRL.

Anyone would be crazy to buy Latics at the moment. From a financial perspective, much cheaper to let them go bust and negotiate with the Administrators.

My thoughts on Latics facing a winding up order.....
Let me put it this way. When Maurice Lindsay died i read many filthy comment on their board about his death so my thoughts on Latics and the HMRC... i will quote on of the posts i read
'What a shame'
I do find it hilarious now the realisation of whats happening to them is sinking in, they are begging for Danson to buy them. Just hang fire Mike, You can have the stadium for nowt in a month or two and the rates on a Rugby stadium are a lot more agreeable than those on a football one.

Give it a couple of months, and the knuckledragging, rugby-hating grunts that peddle this bile will be so desperate for the Latics to be saved, they'll happily sit in a red seat with the Warriors' Crest carved into it at the newly named New Central Park.
