No more player sales - Wigan Athletic admin

The Latics fans have been forced to watch in horror as most of the players from last season have either been sold or allowed to move on, as a result of the club being placed into administration.

Indeed, only Kal Naismith remains from the side which drew against Fulham in the final match of last term, with the squad being boosted by the arrival of free agents and from the highly-rated Academy set-up.

Having already paid the wage bill for September - and with positive movement regarding a takeover this week - Krasner says there will be no more players leaving to balance the books.

"We aren’t looking to sell anymore," he said. "What you have to bear in mind is some of the sales - and we’ve sold all the valuable ones, I accept - is due to the players themselves handing in transfer requests in writing and we can’t refuse it.

"It’s not that we've sold them. We’ve had a request from the players, they didn’t want to play on lower wages.

"There are no bids sitting on the table for any of the players left in the squad.

"We need to put a team out so there is no one left that we can sell."

Speaking to Supporters Club representative Barry Worthington during their weekly Q&A, Krasner also revealed the supportive efforts of the EFL in ensuring Latics were able to start the season.

"I’ve no complaints with the EFL," he said. "They’ve kept to the rules, they’ve let us trade it on, they want Wigan to survive, they’re actually talking today about money distribution.

"If there is any money coming down, it won’t be for us now, but will be for the new owners.

"The EFL are in regular contact, I had a phone call with them on Monday, which I’m not going into because it is highly confidential.

"But they have expressed no concern at this current moment in time. They are in weekly contact."

Krasner was also asked once again about the actions of the previous owners, and their role in the ensuing carnage that put the very future of the club in doubt.

"The fact that they wouldn’t put any more money in, is not a crime," he added.

"It’s morally reprehensible, but it’s not a crime."
