Souness eyes boss’s job at Whelan’s Wigan

GRAEME SOUNESS believes Dave Whelan makes the prospect of managing Wigan an appealing one — and has revealed he pulled out of the running to become Bolton boss.

But the Scot maintained last night he has not spoken to anyone about taking over as manager of the Latics — who sacked Chris Hutchings on Monday.

Souness has plenty of managerial experience with Newcastle, Blackburn, Liverpool, Rangers, Galatasaray and Benfica.
