Wigan are a step closer to relegation from the Championship after they were deducted three points for again failing to pay their players. The Latics are now eight points adrift of safety at the foot of the table after being sanctioned by the Football League (EFL) for not delivering the March salary to their squad.
It is the fourth instance of not paying their squad in the past nine months, having also done it in June, July and October of last year and breaches an agreement they had with the governing body in January, where they accepted a suspended penalty.
