Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan says manager Roberto Martinez has his full support.
Whelan claims he is not altogether surprised Wigan have suffered such a poor start - and gave his full backing to boss Roberto Martinez.
He said: "When I saw the fixtures I thought we were in for a difficult start because Burnley beat Man Utd last season and I said to Roberto Blackpool would be on fire.
"We played well first half on Saturday and let it fade away. We know we're in for a fight this season.
"Roberto is a very good manager. We've had a tough start and not had the best of luck.
"Roberto is working for the long term.
"When you lose against Blackpool and play poorly, you get letters from fans saying sack the manager. But Roberto is here for the long term."
