Paul Cook's Wigan have gone in to Administration today citing the Covid crisis as the main factor. Possibly, but hopefully not, the first of many. I doubt there will be a long queue of businesses/business men wanting to invest in lower division clubs at the moment. Grim times and a shame in Wigan's respect as their results of late had dragged them well clear of relegation. The EFL's 12 point deduction rule if applied would put them bottom of the league, four points from safety.

I suspect there are a number of clubs in a perilous financial position like Wigan and Bury. No surprise if more go to the wall this year. Saving grace for some clubs may be that the EFL were meeting today to try to agree a start date for the 20/21 season. But unless fans can attend the games that won’t help them much
