Oh dear,what next Mr Whelan

Oh my.

Is that any different than saying Scottish people are tight?

He broke his leg you know?

Wigan are fast becoming comedy gold.

If this happened in the NBA whelan would be forced to sell Wigan.

I'm embarrassed when I see plebs like Harry Redknapp coming out saying Mackay is a "nice guy" who made a mistake.

You're either a racist or you aren't, it isn't something you say by mistake.

He has black, chinese, jewish and female friends though Nat?

I take it all back then. Top bloke. It was all a joke clearly.

He also said there's nothing wrong with calling people "chinks"

He's losing the plot.

Whelan always tries to take the moral high ground, he had a pop at us a couple months ago,  let's see how the old cnut get's out of this one!  
The man appears to be a rather odious person.

Whelan grew up in an era when this was a nothing comment.

I'm not saying that makes it OK, but anybody that was born before political correctness is more vulnerable to saying something stupid like this.

casual racism and the over 60's - a match made in heaven. It is a generational thing but that doesn't excuse it. All he was missing was Darkies are alright and he would have had a full house of bigot bingo

That is a fair comment cos I'm in the same boat. Still an obnoxious knob  though!!

Didn't we interview Mackay for the manager's job? Dodged a bullet there for sure. As for Wigan, it'll all end in tears even if it ever gets started.
