The Premier League's plan to play a 39th fixture on foreign soil from the 2010/2011 season has had the whole nation talking of the greed and stupidity of it all.
I have yet to receive an email from anyone who is in favour of it, yet most of the club chairmen can see the pot of gold at the of the rainbow.
I think most of us know Wigan have little chance of being involved simply because it is doubtful they will be a Premiership club come 2010 ... and I'm sure people in Hong Kong, Australia and Outer Mongolia have even HEARD of them.
But, for the record, Wigan would like it known they're not that bothered anyway.
Has Anyone Outside Of England Heard Of Wigan?
Whelan: "I am sitting on the fence, I am not condemning it but neither am I condoning it and I know quite a few chairmen feel the same way.
"We want more answers to an awful lot of questions. We want to hear what the Premier League have to say about our questions and we want to look long and hard at the answers when we get them.
"We have been told that we can expect £4million per club - maybe £4.5million. But we all know that money is going to go straight to players - and their agents - demanding ever more the more money clubs make.
"You hear managers say that they don't want another game and you hear them also saying they can do without international games, such as friendlies, so we have to ask ourselves, is it really worth it?"
