Wigan Athletic's owners are currently exploring options for new investment to secure the club's future. Local businessman Mike Danson, who took over the Latics in the summer of 2023, has stated that they are open to various avenues, including a full sale if the right party comes forward. The club is currently facing challenges, sitting 20th in League One after a recent 3-0 defeat to Plymouth Argyle, and is only outside the relegation zone on goal difference. Since acquiring Wigan Athletic, the ownership group has prioritized stabilizing the club following a tumultuous period marked by administration in 2020 and subsequent ownership changes. Despite efforts to improve the situation, financial issues persist, including a winding-up petition served by His Majesty's Revenue and Customs prior to Danson's takeover. The club was docked eight points for breaching EFL financial rules, which has contributed to their struggles this season. Former manager Ryan Lowe was sacked last month, and Gary Caldwell has returned for a second stint as head coach as the club fights to avoid relegation.
