Sven getting £13,000-per-week from the FA

News that Sven Goran-Eriksson is still being paid by the Football association has angered Wigan chairman Dave Whelan.

Even before the World Cup when Sven committed gross misconduct, Whelan stood up and said the FA that Sven should be sacked. That was the perfect opportunity to get rid of the Swede in his view.

However, Sven was not sacked by the FA and is now still getting paid a reported £13,000-per-week.

"Before the World Cup started and when he committed gross misconduct I then stood up and said to The FA sack him, and take the opportunity to get rid of him," said Whelan to Sky Sports News.

"We could have walked away from the contract we had, we would have done a lot better at the World Cup.

"The FA missed a golden opportunity to get rid of probably the worst manager England have ever, ever had.

"Brian Barwick has a hell of a task on there, he has to knock some sense into The FA, it's not going to be easy.
