Wigan Athletic accused of anti-semitism and racism

London: Stephen Perry, chairman of England’s 48 Group Club, has said that under-fire Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan should quit after being accused of anti-semitism and racism.

“Mr Whelan needs to retire from front line of football,” Perry said on Friday. “The football authorities need to ensure that if he does not go voluntarily.”

Whelan is being investigated by the Football Association (FA) after making controversial comments about the Jewish and Chinese people.
