Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan has reiterated his plea for Premier League sides to get their finances in order.

Whelan also revealed his plans to reduce Wigan's debt by two-thirds.

"I have been saying for a long time there should be a limit on the size of club's liabilities and debts - including Wigan Athletic," he told the Wigan Observer.

"The club owes me quite a lot of money, because of loans I have lent it. What I am doing is converting those loans into equity and taking shares.

"It's a debt-for-equity swap, and I would advocate every club in the country looking into doing that.

"Wigan will be doing that, which will wipe out around two-thirds of our debt. It's one way of cleaning up a lot of balance sheets in football."
