Max Power blueprint should always be at the front of Wigan Athletic minds.
Power is a fan favourite at the Latics,
Wigan Athletic are a club who are seemingly moving in the right direction once more, after enduring turbulent years of late, including a period of administration lasting from July 2020–March 2021, and being subject to a winding up petition during the summer of 2023.
The Latics were rescued from that fate by current owner Mike Danson, who purchased the club last summer and has brought in an ethos of sustainability, a quality not well followed by the club’s previous two ownership groups.
Manager Shaun Maloney has done a stellar job with the Greater Manchester outfit, by guiding the side he used to play for to a top-half League One finish despite beginning the campaign with an eight point deduction, and being under a transfer embargo for the last two windows.
Maloney has got the very best out of his club’s youth academy products, as epitomised by the performances of the likes of England youth internationals Sam Tickle and Charlie Hughes throughout the 2023/24 season.
The 41-year-old has done well with limited resources, landing an unlikely 12th spot despite only being able to use free agent signings, youth academy graduates and players signed by previous managers, so the prospect of the former Hibernian boss being able to sign his own players is an exciting one for Latics supporters.
A former summer signing that the Brick Community Stadium faithful will never forget is Max Power, who initially arrived in Greater Manchester from Tranmere Rovers in 2015.
