A devastating financial crisis is gripping Wigan Warriors, with sources revealing the club’s debt has skyrocketed to £10million. The shocking news has left fans reeling, with many demanding answers from owner Ian Lenagan.
Insiders claim the club’s financial woes have been masked by a series of secret loans and deals, but the situation has become unsustainable. Player wages are unpaid, and staff redundancies are looming, sparking a desperate behind-the-scenes battle to avoid administration.
The crisis has raised questions about Lenagan’s leadership and the club’s financial management. Fans are calling for transparency and accountability, with many taking to social media to express their outrage.
“This is a disaster,” said one fan. “We’ve been kept in the dark about the club’s finances for too long. It’s time for answers.”
The Warriors’ on-field performance has also suffered, with the team struggling to find consistency in the league. Players are said to be “demoralized” by the situation, with many considering their futures at the club.
The Rugby Football League (RFL) has been alerted to the situation, and officials are monitoring the club’s finances closely. If the Warriors enter administration, they face a potential points deduction and even relegation.
As the situation unfolds, fans are bracing themselves for the worst. “This is a dark day for Wigan Warriors,” said another fan. “We can only hope the club can find a way out of this mess.”
