The Latics’ CEO, Mark Moisley, is frustrated with all the delays in the club takeover. The deal still needs the Football League to rubber-stamp it and the green light appears to be at the end of a very long tunnel. Former football agent Abdallah Lemsagam is waiting in the wings to take over but is also feeling frustrated with all the delays. The Football League rules state that he has to resign as an agent before he can apply to take control of a football club but the Latics have stated that he has already followed this route.
Moisley said, “We believe we are extremely close to this happening. Abdallah Lemsagam is in the country at the moment and has been in the club the last few days, Simon Corney is also crossing the country so all the parties are here and speaking with the league and trying to get this pushed through because it really needs to be done for everybody's sake now.”
