They were relegated when parachute payments were increased to £60 million.
they must be spending that £30m budget that Grendal says they have

Well the Wigan chairman did claim they would 5 times the budget of anyone else in the league, if you take Sheffield United to be about 6 million...
Evidence?
They have £17 million parachute payments they have sold £8 million worth of players. Players on long contracts are excluded from the calculation. They have the biggest budget the league has seen and will walk the league.

so just the biggest budget and not the £30 million you quoted ?
Its not completely without foundation though, the Wigan chairman claimed he would have 5 times the budget of anyone else in the league. In reality I'm guessing it will be about 15 million.

Given the facts I have just quoted it will be in that area. I think what you are confusing is what they will elect to spend. However, the calculation has to be well in excess of £20 million and that excludes any future player sales,
Parachute payments alone are 8 times the average budget in the league.

Why do clubs get parachute payments? Why do they get rewarded for failure?
I agree, but I believe it's to help with wage cuts IIRC.

both me and their CEO then....
"There’s different rules in League One, which apply to salary costs. There is a cap on salaries, and we must ensure we adhere to that if the worst does happen."

You said they have a budget of £30 million.
You didn't clarify spending this or a % of this.
All clubs will surely submit the maximum budget they can regardless of if they have any intention of spending it.
I can't even be bothered to check when they got relegated but i am pretty sure it was at a time which gave them the £60 million payments over 4 years. Also they've an exclusion on contracts and have revenue from players sales worth almost £10 million. That's without revenue from gates sponsorship corporate etc.
What do you think will happen if they fail to get promoted this season?
They'll either stay in League One or if they finish in the bottom 4 they'll be relegated to League Two.

Yes Will Grigg from Brentford who scored a lot of goals for MK Dons last yearThey still have another year of parachute payments don't they?
I don't know the exact budget but it's a lot more than£10 million. Last year they actually raised £13 million for selling two players.
They will just restructure if they fail. Can't see it - they've signed someone for £1 million already haven't they?

about the closest you have ever been to admitting you got something wrong
I don't think I am - you said a lot less than £10 million didn't you?
