' Wigan - Rosler '

Rosler Sacked with Wigan 22nd in the table. With the squad they have they should be in the top 6! Another of the promotion favourites at the start of the season.

Assistant Manager Graham Barrow will take temp charge at Wigan, assisted by first team coach Eric Black.

Malky anyone?

Malky anyone?

Its only 48hrs ago that He was given the full backing of the board.


Malky has been to their last 2 home games as a guest of the Club?

I don't understand that you give him backing then sack him talk about messing people about i thought Whelan was better than that.

Rydog, they say in football its the dreaded vote of confidence,when they suddenly have an urgent meeting, back you, your usually sacked within 7 days. Awful I agree.

I thought Whelan would really give him backing like with Martinez i would never of thought he would say he would back him then go and sack him.

As soon as you get a vote of confidence off the chairman/board..........you just as well go and clear your desk and hand the keys to the executive bog in.

Whelan is a good loyal football man therefore surprised at the sacking after giving Rosler a vote of confidence days ago.

Considering the squad Wigan have they should be near the top of the table. In fairness to Whelan he had provided Rosler with a fair bit of money to rebuild.

I know what is the point just sack him It also happened with Malky and Solksjaer.

If he isn't sacked then you will have to hope a player shits in the dressing room and hyppia goes off on one that should do it.

Surprised at Whelan, Surprised at rosler as well.

A lower league manager who couldn't cope in the top two divisions. Hope this doesn't happen to us but our owner is off the wall to say the least.

Well that's Don Cowie happy then.

Makay was at Brighton v Wigan 2 weeks ago I sat three rows away.

rosler can't complain, his remit upon taking the job would have been to get them promoted, yet they languish in the relegation zone with 16 points from 17 games. that said, they are barely 2 wins from where we are, its scary how close this division is this year.

as for malky, baggage aside he would have been employed ages ago. my gut feeling is that whelan will give him the job, which will involve malky making a full apology and saying he's learnt his lesson etc.

Surprised at Whelan, Surprised at rosler as well.

Agree. Wheelman usually 'backs' his managers and I had Rosler down as a potential for the Cardiff job when it came up!

Following the departure of Uwe Rösler from the hot seat at the DW Stadium, there are quite a few names being bandied about as to who may be coming in to take over as Wigan Athletic boss.

Chris Hughton, Steve Clarke, Tony Pulis, Tony Mowbray, Brian McDermott and Paul Jewell all get a mention in the bookies odds, but without doubt the stand out candidate according to all the bookies is former Watford and Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay.

Mackay is 1/7 with both Skybet and Paddypower, whilst BetVictor have him at 1/5, the former Watford and Cardiff boss does have a recent misdemeanour hanging over him though, which according to some outlets stopped him from becoming Premier League club Crystal Palace manager in August of this year.

Whoever Whelan has lined up to come in, there is a little breathing space with it being an international break, will be taking over a team low on confidence and floundering at the wrong end of the Championship, Mackay is proven at this level, though so too are McDermott, Hughton and Pulis, there are choices, hopefully we will make the right one this time.

The heads are really rolling in this league. Norwich and Nottingham next. Soon half the managers who started this season is without a job. Anyone believes this really benefits the clubs in the long run?

Wigan set to appoint controversial Malky Mackay as manager to replace sacked Uwe Rosler

Malky Mackay is odds-on favourite for a controversial return to football with Wigan.

The former Cardiff boss stunned football after it emerged back in August that he and a colleague sent alleged sexist and racists texts to each other during his time at the south Wales club.

It was believed at the time that Mackay would struggle to get back into the game after he was vilified along with the League Managers’ Association who backed him.

But Mackay is understood to have been in the thinking of Wigan chairman Dave Whelan even before the 77-year-old DW supremo sacked Uwe Rosler on Thursday.

The FA have yet to take any action against either Mackay or Iain Moody, the head of recruitment who worked him at the time of the controversial texts.

Mackay, who masterminded Cardiff’s Championship title win two seasons ago, apologised for sending messages that were “disrespectful of other cultures”.

well this comes as no surprise to me as i said in my earlier post.

what with the furore surrounding the ched evans debate, wigan will largely avoid all the scrutiny that would otherwise come from employing mackay. plus on a footballing level its a no brainer.
