I knew Hudson was or has been the Mayor of Wetwang but didn't realise he also lived there. I believe he took over the role from the late Richard Whitely.

latest news is that after they were deducted 12 points the preferred bidders have dropped out. that leaves 4 others non of which is lenagans group.

looks like lenagan has failed in his bid to buy the ground. the administrator refused to sell it separately from the club. lenagan wanted to buy the ground and other associated propertys for the bargain price of £3 million.

Proposed takeover of Wigan Athletic has collapsed confirmed by the administrators.
Will this pose a financial burden for the pies as the sole tenant.
However the whole financial landscape will be impacted by the ongoing measures to try combat covid.
Better to have some cash rather than none.

Not sure where he gets his £10m valuation from, from a purely business point of view.
They are a company with few assets who, despite on-field success, lose money hand-over-fist.

Drop in a very big ocean to the potential new owner.

He's a very smart guy and worth 1.1bn....

Ian Lenegan has confirmed in ‘Wigan Today’ that it’s a false report and he has no plans to sell.
