Someone Have a Word

In a letter seen by The Times Dave Whelan has now called for the resignation of Sir Dave Richards, the Premier League chairman, and Richard Scudamore, the chief executive because of their handling of the Tevez and Mascherano affair.

So far the League has followed to a letter the procedures that Wigan and all the other Premier League clubs signed up to at the beginning of the season. Hardly matters that require resignation.

Whelan is becoming a serious embarrassment not just to the Premier League but football in general.
