Half time Wigan 7 Hull 0. this result would leave Wigan 12 points above the relegation places with a far superior goal difference so with the 12 point penalty they would remain in the championship and start next season on -12 points. With 2 games remaining after tonight they have given themselves a great chance of staying up.
For anyone wondering how often a team gas scored seven goals in the first half, the answer is twice. Wigan V Hull yesterday, and Man C V Norwich next week.

Wigan won 8-0 and could get relegated.
Who won 9-0 and STILL got relegated?
Sorry, it had to be Northampton Town against Exeter (1956-57?).

The crucial vote is now expected to be on July 24th. Leaves very little time to organize pre-season. September 12th now more and more likely the start date for the league.

In my view with the fixture pile-up for 20/21 meaning that there will be more midweek games than usual, it would make sense to give the EFL Trophy a fallow season and keep to the two domestic cup competitions.

If they can do without the sponsorship money for competing in the EFL Trophy clearly clubs moaning about a lack of finance are making it up.

Not sure if I'm writing in the correct thread,
Can't seem to find anything on when the main shirt sponsor from UoN expires. Possibly a good opportunity for the club to get more money from this by getting promoted for next season although not sure how COVID will affect the sponsorship market.

With the championship's fixtures concluding on wednesday it appears that Hull and Barnsley will be joining us in division 1 unless there are some exeptional results in the remaining games. The third relegation spot will be taken by Wigan, Charlton or Luton although Luton have given themselves a good chance of avoiding the drop by winning at Hull yesterday. To stay up Wigan need to beat Fulham, who have a very slight chance of automatic promotion, and then rely on Charlton or Luton not winning. If Wigan stay up Luton need to obtain 1 more point than Charlton on wednesday but this is achievable as they are at home to Blackburn and Charlton are away at Leeds. It looks unlikely that we will have 2 local derbys with Luton next season.

Are Birmingham still in the mix?

Birmingham and Middlesborough could be relegated but for this to happen both Luton and Charlton need to win on wednesday. If they both won Birmingham and Middlesborough would both need 1 point and all 4 teams would finish on equal points in which case Luton would be favourites to go down as they have the worst goal difference.

Correction: Birmingham and Middlesborough cannot be relegated even if they both lose their remaining games and Luton and Charlton win theirs. This is because even if Wigan beat Fulham with their 12 point deduction they would finish below all 4 and would be relegated.

So, are Wigan effectively sitting on 46 points currently?

1971, yes Wigan are effectively on 46 points with the 12 point deduction. However, if they finish 12 points above the relegation places the deduction would mean that they remain in the championship. In this case the 12 points will not be deducted and they would finish the season on 56 points plus any gained from their last game. However the 12 point deduction would be held over to next season and they would start in the championship on -12 points.
