12 isnt it?

12 point deduction at end of season so finish 12 clear or they go down

Is it not 12pts deduction at the start of the next season?

No it's either finish 12 points clear of relegation this season, or start next season in L1 on -12.

Not technically.



At the end of the season if Latics are in the bottom 3 they go down and start on -12.



If they're outside the bottom 3 then a 12 point deduction is applied which could see them relegated, but there would be no deduction next season.

thats what he said but you explained it better

I'm not a fan of theirs but I hope they survive. I've worked in Wigan for 16 years and know about the rivalry between the two clubs. The mood on here is mainly one of sympathy but I have to say I'm not sure it would be the same if the situation was reversed.

It wouldn't. They have a very very bitter section of fans aged around 45-65 who have a vendetta against Maurice Lindsay which has transcended onto bashing the club. They would be dancing on the street if it was us. Sod em

Yes reading it back it was. On first glance it was lose 12 points or don't.

I’m not celebrating that they are in this position and on the other hand I don’t have any sympathy either. I don’t like football full stop so makes no difference to me.

Thats how i see it Hatty. It was only a matter of time before football went pop. That much money on wages and merchandise based on nothing but guesswork and hope. It isn't sustainable, not even for the likes of Man City and Chelsea when the money is pulled from under them. They will soon disappear.
