Wigan Athletic have gone into administration, becoming the first English professional club to do so since the coronavirus pandemic began.
The Latics have been struggling to manage their finances and say there was no alternative if they were to safeguard the club.
The move may see the Championship side deducted points.
Paul Stanley, Gerald Krasner and Dean Watson of Begbies Traynor have been appointed as joint administrators.
The standard points deduction for an English Football League club entering administration is 12 points and, should that penalty be applied this season, it would drop them to the foot of the table, four points from safety with six matches left to play.
