Fantastic news for all #swfc fans. It’s been a very testing period but it’s great to see that a takeover has now completed🙌🏻

Credit to @AlexJPMiller for his efforts in keeping fans informed throughout the process.

No surprise to see FX’s renewal, especially with the global engagement levels and financial benefit to them and #WxmAFC

[Wrexham AFC @Wrexham_AFC]

It's a 3-peat! FX's Welcome to Wrexham has been renewed for THREE MORE SEASONS.

The finances across the #EFL and League One are becoming more and more concerning. Owners/shareholders are injecting clubs with significant funds with little to no likelihood of any return. The need for an IFR and interjection is evident.

Insightful as ever by @KieranMaguire

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

We are still awaiting results from Rotherham and Huddersfield, but League One clubs between them have managed to accumulate over £1 billion pounds in losses over the years for the first time since records began, so here is a deep(ish) dive into the finances for 2024/25

[Adam Brooks @Adam_Brooks99]

The FA have reported a £10.6m profit for the 2024/25 season (down from £49.65m profit from the previous year). This financial year saw the Lionesses’ EURO 2025 victory against Spain. #england #fa

[Adam Brooks @Adam_Brooks99]

Good listen talking club financials and the Wigan business model👏🏻

The FA also detail every agent transaction for new registration, transfers and contract renegotiations. Here shows all listed transactions for #WAFC

[Adam Brooks @Adam_Brooks99]

The FA have released annual information regarding the agent payments from football clubs. Below shows the total payments #EFL League One clubs have made between 4 Feb 2025 and 2 Feb 2026, which includes #WAFC paying £283,506. Total payments amount to over £14m for the year.

[Adam Brooks @Adam_Brooks99]

@JJLos3Amigos @ForeverWAFC I believe the stadium did operate at a loss yes, but within the last few years we have seen vast improvements of its use on non-matchdays such as corporate events etc., so does have great potential to bring in significant revenue in any case #wafc

@ForeverWAFC 2024 reports show that #WAFC generated £822k from stadium hire and rental charges, that’s a considerable amount to miss out on each year

[Adam Brooks @Adam_Brooks99]

#wafc have now published their financial information for the 2024/25 season, reporting a £397k loss after a significant £7.5m profit on player sales. This would be the culmination of selling Charlie Hughes, Thelo Aasgaard and Josh Stones.

Full report:

[Adam Brooks @Adam_Brooks99]

Another significant point is that the balance sheet shows that the stadium is no longer owned by the club, which has led to losses in revenue from stadium hires and rental income. #wafc

For comparison against other clubs competing against #wafc in 24/25

Reading #readingfc: £3.8m loss after a £9.5m profit on player sales, 7th place finish

Burton Albion #BAFC: £8.3m loss, 20th place finish

Barnsley #barnsleyfc £6.6m loss, 12th place finish

@KieranMaguire @martynziegler That’s a lot more “for the fans” 🙌🏻

Friday night football⚽️ with plenty of VAR on show.

[The Independent Football Regulator (IFR) @TheIFROfficial]

The Independent Football Regulator has today outlined its new licensing regime, a framework designed to pull clubs back from the financial “cliff edge” and build a more secure and stable future for the 116 clubs in the English football pyramid.

[Adam Brooks @Adam_Brooks99]

#WAFC club is for sale, with no deal involving the stadium. I expect that would certainly discourage investors as a result.

[Paul Kendrick @PKendrickWIG]

One 'normal' day in this job. Has never happened. And will never happen. #wafc

Interesting read. Also worth noting that Wigan Athletic A.F.C Limited’s accounts for 24/25 are due by the end of the month, which will help paint a better picture between the two businesses. #wafc

[LaticsVision @WAFCVision]

Wigan Sporting Events Limited have released their first set of financial accounts covering the period of June 7th 2024 - June 30th 2025.

@luckymanian @AlexJPMiller Hi Ian, the administrators are required to do this so that any correspondence can be sent to them directly. It’s a standard procedure so no concerns there!

[Adam Brooks @Adam_Brooks99]

The administrators’ proposals have now been submitted and will be available in the coming days #SWFC. @AlexJPMiller has already covered this incredibly.

[Adam Brooks @Adam_Brooks99]

@AlexJPMiller No problem at all Alex, keep working your magic for the fans!
