Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez admits he's spoken to chairman Dave Whelan since their 9-1 thrashing suffered at Tottenham.

Martinez said he had spoken to the chairman after the Tottenham defeat but that there had been no heated exchange of words between the two.

"He is a very consistent man - he doesn't change in defeat or victory and our method of work is very consistent and in that respect he is the perfect chairman," he said.
