Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has been charged by the Football Association over comments he made about Jewish and Chinese people in an interview. The 77 year old has apologised for the comments and has until 18:00 GMT on 5 December to respond to the FA charge.
It is alleged his original statements were "abusive and/or insulting and/or constitute improper conduct and/or bring the game into disrepute".
Whelan has also insisted that he was misquoted in the newspaper interview.
