Championship crisis club Wigan deducted points after failing to pay player salaries AGAIN

Wigan have been hit with a three-point deduction by the English Football League for failing to pay player and staff wages on time.

The Latics, who currently sit bottom of the Championship, have endured a turbulent season on the field, having worked their way through three different managers and won just seven league matches all season.

There has also been issues off the field, with the club initially being handed a suspended three-point deduction back in January for the late payment of wages in June, July and October 2022. Wigan confirmed on March 10 that there had been delays in wage payments to players due to "liquidity issues".
