Hutchings sacked as Wigan manager

Chris Hutchings leaves the club two days after losing to Chelsea
Wigan have elected to sack Chris Hutchings with immediate effect, the Premier League club has announced.
Assistant manager Frank Barlow takes charge on a caretaker basis, starting with Sunday's trip to Tottenham.

In a brief statement on their website, Wigan said a statement from chairman Dave Whelan would follow.

But they did put on record their "immense gratitude" to Hutchings in contributing to the club's "meteoric rise" over the past six seasons.

Hutchings was appointed in May following the resignation of Paul Jewell.

He stepped up from his role as assistant manager under Jewell, who elected to take a break from football.

Hutchings had also succeeded Jewell at Bradford City, but lasted less than five months after winning one of 12 Premiership games.

This season in the Premier League, Wigan have collected just eight points from 12 matches to be in the relegation zone.

On Saturday they were beaten 2-0 at home by Chelsea.

He didn't last long did he ?

^^^

I knew from the minute they appointed Hutchings that he wouldn't last the season, you just have to look at how poor he was following in Jewell's wake at Bradford.

Good shout for a Jewell return

Apparently Souness is the strong favourite to take over, that'll be Wigan down then.
