Wigan to sack Marlon King

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan says Marlon King will never play for the club again.



Whelan says the club is now preparing to end his contract.



According to the Premier League rules the club must pay the player’s wages for 14-days before terminating his contract.



Whelan, who only learned about the trial on Tuesday, says its really upsetting and it sets a bad example for any youngster coming through who wants to be a professional footballer.
