Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[Imp in Branston]

We are also allegedly being linked with Chris Maguire ex Sunderland and numerous other clubs?

 

[Luke Imp]

Chris Maguire having a medical here apparently after his release from Sunderland.

Oh no! Now I have to dislike Lincoln against my wishes.

Looks we're trying to do get Ipswich's Teddy Bishop with Michael Jacobs as part of the deal. Cook loves Jacobs so could be a goer. It will be one injury prone player for another.

 

[PuB]

Keeper in Aaron Chapman, doesn’t look like he’s played much recently. 4 starts last season for Motherwell.

Lincoln & Hearts also linked.

Elsewhere we're after Lee Gregory from Stoke apparently.

Wigan have beat Celtic to sign Charlie Wyke on a reported 10k a week for 3 years, ! Their season ticket sales will probably only bring revenue of 1 million with their pathetic support. So half of that goes on one players wages, Hope their owners don't ditch them like the last ones.

 

[Tea Towel]

Linked with Kwadwo Baah on loan. He’s just signed for Watford after breaking through at Rochdale.

When they next go into the bust stage of the sh*t or bust cycle, i'll have no sympathy especially as they are doing this after just coming out of a bust stage. Are their supporters happy with this or are they in anyway discomforted considering the recent history?

Possibly the biggest nonsense I have ever read. What bust cycle?

Wigan are the only team in any sport in history to have entered administration despite owing no money. The loss in revenue from being expelled from The Championship meant we had a shortfall last Summer when the money we should have received last summer was higher than the outgoing payments.

We are debt free. We owe 0 on future transfer fees. We have 8m in the bank from transfer money received and this seasons solidarity payments. Based on ticket sales from previous seasons we would get between 2-3m for that.

Our wage bill at the end of last seasons was 2m.

So we have 8m to spend extra this season without making any debt. I doubt we will get anywhere near spending 8m extra.

 

[Luke Imp]

More noise around GK Josh Griffith's signing on loan from WBA very soon after signing a new deal there this morning, much like Morton and Palmer did ahead of their moves last season.

Our first friendly isn't too far away so we could do without playing an outfield player in goal!

If you didn't owe any money then you should have been fine as a going concern as your operational income would have covered your outgoings and administration wouldn't have been necessary.

Sam Smith has signed on a permanent. Had a loan with us a few seasons ago and was excellent until he got injured. He will thrive playing with a target man. Cheltenham fans won’t be too pleased.

[Tom_CUFC]

Happy with that, think he'll work really well with Ironside. 8 goals under Colin fucking Calderwood so Bonner should be able to squeeze a few more out of him. Not overly prolific last season, but neither was Mullin before he joined us, doubt it'll be anywhere near that good but if he can do half of what Mullin did that'll do very nicely.

 

[Imp in Branston]

Chris Maguire joins on a 2 year deal as expected after yesterday’s news.

Will be interesting to see how it goes after mixed reviews from Mackem fans.

He was excellent for us. His sh*thousing of Swindon will be remembered for a long time. Maguire if happy is a good player, if not then he is like he was at Bury from what I've seen. Appleton got him enjoying his time at Oxford, hence he was good. I'd fully expect Appleton to do the same this time.

Was at Pompey with MA too so I guess Appy knows Maguire very well and what he can bring to the table.

No debt ? You owed your owners 36 million for a start, Unlike Ken Anderson they wrote it off whereas Ken wanted blood and a large slice of interest even though he put nothing in, You don't go on to Administration if your company is sustainable and you don't owe money. You were very lucky the previous owner let it go, The next one might not be as generous,

We had 7.25m taken off us. We only owed 5m that Summer. We had more than enough money coming in. We did not need administration and you know full well if was voted against and then a director removed to fix the vote and it was a plan set in motion before the club had been transferred to bankrupt office worker as a cover.

You know why they it was wrote off because it never existed in the first place. When you are threatened with criminal proceedings you kind of just let it go. It was a high interest loan that never actually got processed. You really think someone would have paid 26m to buy us? 10m wasn't a debt it was a movement of funds between two Wigan Athletic companies.

So you owed money then. And you went into administration. Also, why wasn't the sale quick considering you are claiming more income than expenses? It should have been very easy to do and therefore very quick.

 

[K-Win]

As a Pompey fan, I'm staying out of this argument. We have a "No administrations for [9] years!" sign outside the ground, like the "no tornados since...." signs you see in US trailer parks.

Cheltenham fans don't really care. He was decent last season and he could do a job, but he's very easily replaceable.

 

[GeneralLee]

He was totally anonymous for us. A very strange signing; got handed the number 9 shirt and did absolutely nothing. In fairness it was a transitional stage for the club and he wasn't the only poor signing we made that summer which wouldn't have helped.

 

[GeneralLee]

Was at Pompey with MA too so I guess Appy knows Maguire very well and what he can bring to the table.

A real talent for us. Exactly what a young side filled with promising talent needed with us; game management is very good, clever and as has been alluded, if the game needs am injection of a little bit of aggression or magic, he's your man.

He's not particularly quick and if his time with Bury is anything to go by, if managed poorly he'll not contribute at all. Under MA, he was brilliant. A real player.

So who was paying the 19 million pound wage bill and transfer fees paid ? Father Christmas ? Your 8000 fanbase ?, if you sold someone it might have been different, but you didn't and continued to haemorrhage money, the owners bailed out cause they realised Wigan Athletic were a lost cause. And you can't blame them. They did the decent thing and wrote off the money in order for you to survive, You should be grateful, Also why did it take 9 months for someone to buy you if you were so profitable?

 

[SVH]

Cheltenham fans don't really care. He was decent last season and he could do a job, but he's very easily replaceable.

Fair enough. He was excellent for us and probably didn't really suit your style of play as I feel he needs to play with a target man.

 

[Atavistic]

We've sent Akin Famewo back out on loan to Charlton for the season, with them having an option to sign him permanently next summer. No surprise from our perspective, really, as he's fallen even further down the pecking order with the emergence of 19-year old Andrew Omobamidele in the same position.

Fully expect that permanent option to be exercised if Charlton can afford him and if he has another good season for them.

 

[Luke Imp]

Pleased with the Maguire signing. He'll offer us some experience in attacking areas that we didn't have when Hopper wasn't playing.

 

[Si Robin]

Fair enough. He was excellent for us and probably didn't really suit your style of play as I feel he needs to play with a target man.

And this was the issue - he came in as the target man type player and it really didn't suit him.

As I said, I wouldn't have minded him signing, but we'd still need a better forward than what we've got now.
