Having accepted an FA charge of misconduct over his recent comments about Jewish and Chinese people, Dave Whelan is expected to announce his resignation in the coming days.
The FA have received Whelan's response to the charge. and with all signs pointing to Whelan being found guilty, the 78 year old chairman will most likely step down in advance of the verdict which is to be decided next week having gone on record as saying:
If the FA look into my affairs – and they were to find me guilty, which I hope they don’t and I don’t see anything like that happening because I’m absolutely anti-racist, always have been, always will be – however, if they have any questions I’m willing to answer it and, should they even suggest I’m guilty I would immediately resign from my position as chairman of Wigan Athletic.
Whelan landed himself in hot-water after some ill-advised comments about Jewish people, which he then made far worse in an attempt to explain what he meant.
