The Wigan defender Steven Caulker has hit out at the club’s hierarchy, accusing them of lying and “absolutely scandalous” behaviour after he and his teammates failed to receive their wages four times this season.
Wigan’s players were absent from training on Friday in protest at the club’s financial crisis, which has already led to them being hit with a three-point deduction by the English Football League. The uncertainty at the Championship’s bottom-placed club has now led to one of their senior players speaking out in the strongest terms.
