Having an owner who has a connection to the area is far better. The problem with a lot of foreign owners is that they see the premier league on TV and think every club is like that.
Geographically, Latics are stuffed - they will never compete for support with the bigger clubs that surround them, and even in the premier league years, they still had a relatively small following. As shown, even trying to stay in the 2nd tier is bankrupting them.
They have an average attendance similar to the rugby team despite being a division below. It’s cleat to see Wigan is now a . football town
