Championship Wigan owner Dave Whelan has apologised for remarks he used in a controversial newspaper interview defending the appointment of new manager Malky Mackay. Whelan made comments about Jewish and Chinese people described as "offensive" by West Ham owner David Gold.
"If I have upset one person, I apologise," said Whelan, who believes he was misquoted by The Guardian.
Anti-racism campaigner Kick It Out has questioned whether Whelan is a "fit and proper person" to run a football club.
Labour MP Ivan Lewis has also called for the Football Association to take the "toughest possible action" against the Latics chairman.
Whelan is quoted using the term "chink" in his newspaper interview. The Guardian also claims the 77-year-old businessman said: "Jewish people chase money more than everybody else."
