Wigan Athletic: EFL blocks takeover of League One club The prospective takeover of Wigan Athletic has been blocked after the EFL said the new owners "failed to satisfy the league's requirements".
The Spanish consortium were given a second extension to complete their purchase of the ailing League One club last month.
The English Football League said they had "undertaken significant due diligence on the relevant parties".
Wigan were put into administration and relegated from the second tier in July.
The EFL added: "The board reiterated its commitment to working with the administrators to secure a successful and sustainable future for the club and will meet with them to discuss the implications of this decision at the earliest opportunity."
BBC Sport understands that the current bidders still have an exclusivity period that lasts for another seven days.
It is also understood there are other interested parties.
