What Lowe said

Asked about the reasons why the latics did not separate the costs for Mullin, Lowe said Wigan: “We couldn’t afford!” Listen, I don’t know what to say else … The simple fact is that we could not afford a permanent agreement.

“I spoke in Mulls in the back of last season, we were given the permission of Wrexham, to see if he would be available on a loan. Although he only saw about three kilometers from me, I didn’t really know him, but he has always been on my radar. I tried to take him too for a fantastic boy.

“He made his agent in fact that he did not want to go elsewhere if he left Wrexham, he only wanted to come here, which reflects not only on me but also the football club. There were many other clubs that would have liked to sign it, and it was great that he saw the project here and wanted to be part of it.”
