Wigan Athletic managing director Sarah Guilfoyle has opened up on the club's ownership and investment plans.
What's the current situation?
The club remains 'open to investment or even a full sale', according to Guilfoyle. This comes after local billionaire Mike Danson saved the club from extinction three years ago.
How does this affect the team?
Guilfoyle emphasized the importance of spending money wisely, citing Lincoln City's example last year. Gary Caldwell, the team's manager, focuses on processes, culture, and daily standards around the training ground.
What about fan expectations?
Guilfoyle understands that fans have different expectations, depending on when they joined the club's journey. Some fans are waiting to see the club's ambition before renewing or committing to season tickets.
