Wigan Athletic players and staff had to wait three days before their June wages arrived - the second time in as many months a delay has occurred.
Mal Brannigan, chief executive at the newly-promoted Championship club, apologised to employees affected which saw their wages land today (Monday, July 4) rather than last Friday (July 1).
He says the issue was due to a technical problem processing the payments from the club’s parent company, before hitting the club’s account. A similar issue happened the previous month although it is claimed that particular problem was centred around the Jubilee weekend which saw an extra bank holiday added to the calendar.
