"Whelan has done a great job with Wigan bringing them from nowhere to The Premiership and we need people like him in the game."
"Wigan are looking to bring in a new striker and Jason feels the time is right to move on."
Roberts was unhappy with the terms supposedly offered to him by the club, and a number of clubs have been alerted, however McKay stated: "Jason just wants to draw a line under it and move on to Charlton."
Contract or no contract, it seems its Jewell and Whelans word against Roberts and McKays. I for one believe the club first.
