barca72 440 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 It's too late to be an April Fool's joke ... http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11682/9794207/gary-caldwell-takes-charge-at-wigan-following-malky-mackay-exit Wigan Athletic News Gary Caldwell takes charge at Wigan following Malky Mackay exit Last Updated: 07/04/15 8:12pm Gary Caldwell: Has been named Wigan manager on a 'permanent contract' Club captain Gary Caldwell has been named the new manager of Championship strugglers Wigan. The Latics have moved quickly to name a replacement for Malky Mackay, who was fired on Monday evening after a 2-0 loss at home to Derby left 23rd-place Wigan eight points from safety, with just five games remaining. And the DW Stadium outfit have decided to turn to the 32-year-old Caldwell, who lifted the FA Cup after Wigan famously upset Manchester City in the 2013 final and has now signed what the club are describing as a 'permanent contract'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 And they are saying its a long term appointment and are impressed with his qualities. Wigan are going down and wont be back up to the Premier League in a long time which is good news. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,290 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 It just sounded that you had an issue with Wigan as a club or the like, hence the question. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,242 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 It's a culture thing, dB. Wigan is a rugby league town. The football,club was non-league until a few years ago. Good place for them in my humble opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
