WullieBroonIsGod Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Apologies if this is being covered somewhere else. Bit of a shit storm brewing in Wigan though Already under scrutiny for hiring Malky Mackay, Whelan gave an interview to the Guardian and made some offensive comments about "Jews chasing money" and "chinks" This also follows news that a sponsor has walked away from the club following the appointment of Mackay http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30139723 What an absolute dinosaur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerwickMad Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 He's stuck in the 70s or something. Unfortunately for him, he's an absolute slaver and can't keep his mouth shut for more than an hour so he's just digging deeper and deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adolfo Rios Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 His excuse will no doubt be "I'm old and grew up in a time when racism was simply a hobby". Not to mention the fact he once broke his leg in an FA Cup final.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Is the shortened version of Chinese really offensive? Is it not the same as calling the Polish Poles, Scottish Scots, Swedish Swedes etc? Apart from that his comments are a bit daft from being someone of such a high profile, why didnt the muppet just keep his mouth shut.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 His efforts to "clear things up" have just left him looking even more like a daft old bigot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom McB Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Vile auld Tory c**t. Is he really a tory. The antisemitism in the house of commons is more from the other side.

vikingTON Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Is the shortened version of Chinese really offensive? Is it not the same as calling the Polish Poles, Scottish Scots, Swedish Swedes etc? Erm no it isn't, as is fairly fucking obvious to those of us not stuck in 1950s backwaters like Angus or Wigan.

Honest_Man#1 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Did he seriously say he didn't understand why it was offensive/didn't think it was offensive to say what Malky did about the dogs and Koreans?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
