'Absolute disgrace': This is what Wigan Athletic fans are saying after EFL uphold points deduction

This is what Wigan Athletic supportes are saying about the EFL's decision.

The result means Latics will be relegated to League One by a margin of two points, despite doing everything they could to fight the punishment imposed by the EFL, including a £500,000 legal case headed by respected QC David Phillips.

And Latics fans were quick to react to the news on social media – scroll down to take a look at how YOU reacted on Twitter:

@samwheatley03: “On a positive note, you have to think next season in the championship with so many players leaving would be horrible to endure. At least now we get proper time to rebuild. #wafc”

@lisanandy: “The EFL decision is just the latest in a long line of wrongs done to the fans and our town. It’s yet another blow that we did not deserve - but we now know where we are and the focus must be on securing our long term future. We will rise again #wafc #Believe”

@Jordan__wafc: “Absolute disgrace”

@RikWolland: “Makes me wonder why we even bothered and just threw half a million down the drain?”

@wiganexecutive: “That's that settled, now the important part, hoping there's still a new potential owner out there.”

@Nessie3151: “What a shock now we’ve finally wasted money on the appeal can we all now get to grips we our league1”
