What i will say is that last week they were removed from the relegation betting but i presumed it was because it wasn’t possible but maybe it wasn’t??


It’s a Phillipino betting company as opposed to a UK regulated one. Admittedly I’m not too well up on their betting regulations but I can’t imagine they’re as stringent as UK. Furthermore the supposed owner is a casino owner and is known (allegedly) to enjoy a flutter.

Enjoy a flutter? He's on the poker circuit.

Thats what i thought these owners were going to do. I had no doubt they weren't interested in football. Just the assets. Christopher park, Euxton golf course, stadium for concerts. There must be a reason they didn't go down that route. It's a cash cow, or seems to be.

Bolton and Bury were riddled with debt and had no assets.

From what I have always understood, Christopher Park has a covenant which says it always has to be used for sport and the Golf Course/Restaurant at Euxton was sold by Whelan.

From what I understand, Christopher Park has a covenant which says it always has to be used for sport and the Golf Course/Restaurant at Euxton was sold by Whelan a while ago.

And the Latic's were not?

Businesses go into administration when they go into debt ie. when they are spending more than they taking in.

Whelan sold the club because of the way he saw it going downhill financially with falling attendances.

He did the same with JJB Sports when that that went downhill after being out muscled by JD Sports.

Or when the owners want to sell/close down the business.

Latics lose money yes as does every football club but up until now they have never failed to pay their staff, players, bills etc. They have money in the bank and are asset rich (2 training grounds, a stadium, an academy)

They have been screwed over by their owner who has decided he isn't bothered anymore.
