Ex-Liverpool and Spurs defender Steven Caulker blasts "scandalous" Wigan as players strike

Wigan star Steven Caulker has hit out at the Championship club because his team-mates did not receive last month's wages on time.

Wigan, who won the FA Cup as a Premier League side just a decade ago, were deducted three points by the English Football League on Monday for failing to pay the players and other staff members on time. It is the fourth this has happened in the last nine months.

Wigan's chair Talal Al Hammad has apologised for the chaos and confirmed the players have now been paid. Al Hammad has promised to speak to the club's stakeholders about the situation and wants to plot a new strategic direction for the future. Wigan's chief executive Malachy Brannigan has also left the club in the wake of the saga.
