Quote ="Egg Chasing"Football club 1 company. Stadium another company. Latics owed the stadium company money according to the debts published by the admins (and posted on here i think) so they must have been paying rent in some form.
IFL owns other companies also, doesn't mean Wigan rugby own them too does it?
Latics, as a company, have never owned the stadium. Plenty of clubs do it that way to protect the asset and other "business" reasons.
Whether the new buyers do that or not we won't know, but one concern I do have is what happens to our lease as that was with a company that once this goes through will no longer exist.'"
Latics went into administration, there was no mention of a stadium management company being in administration. The administrator appointed to control Latics' administration was selling as a package Latics, a training ground and the stadium. Ergo Latics must own the stadium or there would be no reason to sell the stadium and certainly not as part of a deal for the Latics. Had the stadium been sold separately as the Euxton training ground was then Latics would no longer own it but it appears to have been sold along with Latics so Latics (or their prospective new owners) will still own the stadium.
