Wigan docked points for failing to pay players

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) . It is the fourth instance of not paying their squad in the past nine months and breaches an agreement they had with the governing body in January, where they accepted a suspended penalty.
