Re: Bye bye wigan!
Pretty harsh on a bloke who took them back up, not to give him a lot longer imo.
Pearson or Giggs I can see but Sam? Not a chance

Re: Bye bye wigan!
It is harsh, but at the end of the day, things weren't working out for him, his recent pre/post match interviews had a real air of desperation about them, and when you start slagging your own fans off in public, there's no way back unfortunately.Harry Genshaw wrote:Pretty harsh on a bloke who took them back up, not to give him a lot longer imo.

To be honest I'm not bothered if Big Sam doesn't come to us, we don't want another Malky Mackay situation erupting ...I would have Pearson at Wigan in a heartbeat, not sure on Giggsy though, not enough experience for me, he needs to cut his mangerial teeth in Non-League or League 2 first.

Dougie Freedman has been mentioned...
Actually he's bookies favourite for the Wolves job. Now that would be funny.

Lovely place for Giggs to fail.

He said something along the lines of...Fans should get frustrated at the result, but don't take it out on the players because I think we're playing well...Bruce Rioja wrote:Out of nosiness, what did he say?ExiledViking wrote:and when you start slagging your own fans off in public, there's no way back unfortunately.
This refers to the substitution just after Brighton had scored, He took Grigg off and put Le Fondre on, when we needed 2 upfront to rescue the game.
The boos & jeers weren't aimed at the players, they were aimed at Caldwell for being so bloody negative.
Then to make matters worse, late on in the game he throws Craig Davies on to support Le Fondre (I say support in the loosest possible way, because Davies is bloody useless)

There's talk of a director of football to come in to help him out.
Either way, can't see that happening, the club won't pay the wages of 2 people when 1 can do the same job.

No worries mateBruce Rioja wrote:Cheers Bud. How's ALF getting on?
When he gets on he plays really well, he brings a lot of energy & enthusiasm to the team.
Sadly, with Caldwell's 1 upfront philosophy, he hasn't had a full game yet.
He can't play at all against Cardiff on Saturday due to his loan agreement ...Maybe a chance for Kaiyne Woolery to finally stake his claim after banging in 2 for the development squad yesterday.
Not been confirmed by the club as yet, but Mike Pollitt has left the club too, so it looks like a full backroom staff overhaul is underway...

To be honest, he didn't actually make that many mistakes at the back, though the ones he was fault for tended to be monumentally catastrophic

Re: Bye bye wigan!
People used Caldwell as an argument for inexperience sometimes working. But he took Wigan up last season on a massive budget. Far bigger than ours now.
There was no evidence as to how good a manager he was. This season was the test and I think showed he wasn't really up to the challenge.

We weren't on a massive budget last season, those that stayed on from our Championship team (which wasn't many) had to take a big pay cut.BWFC_Insane wrote:People used Caldwell as an argument for inexperience sometimes working.

Our saving grace was we still had our parachute payment from the prem tucked away, hence why we could spend £1m on Yanic Wildschut ...and money very well spent too!
On the subject of Caldwell, you're bang on the money.
Defensively we weren't much better last season than we are now, only difference being, most League 1 strikers are not as prolific in front of goal as they are in the Championship ...Mind you, it always helps when you have someone like Big Jussi between the sticks, he got us out of a few scrapes, I tell thee...

He saved Hull City from going out of the football league in 1998 as Player Manager, and also spent a few years managing Royal Antwerp in Belgium.BWFC_Insane wrote:Happy with another bloke with zero experience...aye ok then.ExiledViking wrote:Happy with that ...Anyone who doesn't play the Martinez way is great in my book
Add that to the fact Utd fans are gutted to see him go, I think we've got a good 'un
Just need to get shut of Graham Barrow and his cronies now, and we're sorted
