Wigan Athletic hit with additional penalty, point deductions after financial troubles

Wigan Athletic has been penalized eight points ahead of the next League One season due to the club's failure to pay staff wages.
The club was first penalized in March for failing to pay players and staff, receiving a three-point deduction.
Wigan then failed again to deposit funds to cover May's wage bill, resulting in an additional four-point deduction.
The club may pursue legal action in response to the penalties from the English Football League.
Wigan finished 14th in League One this season but will start next season near the bottom of the table as a result of the penalties.
