Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is confident he can count on chairman Dave Whelan.

Even if Martinez's Wigan side are relegated, chairman Whelan insists that he will stand by the Spaniard.

"You wouldn't have any chairman anywhere else saying that," said Martinez. "Everything he said in 1995 he achieved, so I have no reason not to believe him.

"I wouldn't be happy if we were relegated. I want to qualify for Europe."
