Read on for this week's column where Beags has his say on the situation at Wigan, the success of Brentford and the best players in each division so far this season...

Hi Peter. My club Wigan don’t seem to have been out of the headlines in the past week and for all the wrong reasons! What do you think will be the outcome of all the controversy and will it hinder the club’s play-off chances (if they still have any!)? Mike Jones, Wigan

BEAGS SAYS: In Vincent Tan’s case Mike, it’s very straightforward, and I quote: "This is a racist chairman hiring a racist manager." Obviously Mr Tan’s comments are personal and not without prejudice due to the well-publicised and acrimonious sacking of Malky Mackay after the text-gate scandal. I don’t feel comfortable even discussing this and would have thought it wise to wait for any FA inquiry and any subsequent ruling to be passed before approaching Malky to take over the vacant hotseat at Wigan.

Most people who deal with or have dealt with Dave Whelan regarding football or business would describe him as an honest, hard-working, forthright and opinionated individual. If I was to play devil’s advocate, I would say his comments are typical of the ignorance to modern-day political correctness indicative of his generation, purely naïve and in no way meant to be vindictive or racist. The very fact he has mentioned the club have included a clause in Mackay’s contract means there was no confirmation from the FA that the outcome was a foregone conclusion one way or the other.

The whole managerial situation has been a huge public relations faux pas for your club, which is normally associated with stability and positivity. Now the turmoil off the pitch reflects the position in the league the Latics find themselves in. Uwe Rosler’s departure was sad and the problems still remain, they have good individuals but no goal poacher to finish off chances.

Rosler was priced out of the market for Leonardo Ulloa and Troy Deeney and also Callum Wilson, leaving the foreign imports Riera Magem and Andy Delort to replace the 21-goal void left by Nick Powell’s return to Manchester United and Jordi Gomez’s departure to Sunderland.

More worrying for me was the return of a couple of senior pros to the starting line-up from injury the very next game after Rosler’s departure. Players have to be honest to themselves and their employers, not to managers, and have a duty to turn out when fit.

I believed right up to the Bolton game that Wigan, one of my top three favourites, would start to climb the table, but the lack of fighting spirit in that second half didn’t sit well with me at all. There are
