Wigan chairman Dave Whelan insists that he will not question Roberto Martinez's team selection at Everton in the FA Cup.
Martinez insists that he is happy to be in the last eight of the cup, which has given his squad a boost. "This is the first time we have been successful in cup competitions and that is down to the readiness of the young players," he said. "We put a lot of emphasis on the 18- to 21-year-olds trying to develop them. Previously we couldn't compete when we made two or three changes. "It has made the squad bigger and stronger. I can rotate. It shows the work we're doing behind the scenes is paying off. Our main prize is surviving in the Premier League, but we can enjoy this cup game because the youngsters coming through. "We made a profit this year for the first time and we will be moving into a new training ground, which is massive for the club. That enables us to keep growing. A certain percentage of the first team squad should be made up of players from the area, with foreigners who bring something different."
