Wigan chairman Dave Whelan believes Manchester City would "ruin the heart and soul of football" if they signed Kaka for £100million.
City reportedly approached AC Milan over a possible move for the Brazil playmaker, with a nine-figure fee rumoured to be on the cards, although the player later said he wants to "grow old" with the Rossoneri.
Whelan, who is facing a battle to keep stars including Emile Heskey and Amr Zaki with the Latics, believes the sums of money mooted are bad news for the sport.
"If this kind of deal is the kind of deal which is about to take place it will ruin the heart and soul of football," he told Sky Sports News.
City have already flexed their recently acquired financial muscles by spending £32.5m of new owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan's money on Robinho on the last day of the summer transfer window.
And Whelan added: "If some Arabian fellas or oil-rich sheikhs come in and pay £90million for a player, that is totally barmy.
"If Manchester City come in and offer that I think the game will suffer in the end."
No, Whelan, the game will not suffer. It's your bloody PieEaters who will suffer. Self interest rules again.

Fuck off Whelan..."
Rewritten:
Multimillionaire Dave Whelan today claimed that Man City's bid for Kaka would ruin football. "I didn't pay for my team to rise through the divisions just to find out that when I got to the Premiership I wasn't rich enough to buy the title. Jack Walker must be turning in his grave. Is nothing sacred these days?"

Now they're saying they feel sorry for people like Rooney and Giggs and other United players who are busting a gut to help their club , only for us to come along and ruin all that. Now they have gone too far. I have cancelled my TV license direct debit. This is fucking stupid, now.
they have a point about the defenders tho....

No they don't because there's nothing to stop us signing defenders whether the Kaka deal goes through or not.
