Toure gone

[Craigyp01]

Well that was short lived.

Did Lord Sugar pop up to Wigan and say "Tou're Fired"

[brexit]

Dyche to Wigan

[bfcjg]

No no, ,no no no no, no no no no, no no no more Toure. ,

[RVclaret]

Shambolic appointment

[Woodleyclaret]

Lampard to Wigan, if he really wants to see if he is a good manger without millions to spend

[Roosterbooster]

Lampard to Wigan, if he really wants to see if he is a good manger without millions to spend

Exactly what I thought

[Croydon Claret]

Again?

[fidelcastro]

How long was Toure in charge? How many games?

[elwaclaret]

Why go for a complete outsider who lacks experience and then not be prepared for the first few weeks be a disaster?
Unless Toure did a Martin Buchan, on them.

[MACCA]

Wowzers, that was even shorter than his Wigan career!

[Elizabeth]

Had a great career at City , not sure if he was the player upset because the club didn’t bake him a birthday cake .
Maybe this sacking proves that being a great player does not guarantee success as a manager.

Remember that I don’t think it was him, but I my be wrong. Cannot think who it was though.

Oooops Liz that was YaYa Toure

[bodge]

Hopefully he takes over at Accy, so that when he gets the boot we can have "Kolo goes loco down in Accypulco".

Why the oooops ?

[Bosscat]

If it had been Yaya Toure ... we could have made a joke about Wigan getting their 'Yaya out'

[Bosscat]

Why the oooops ?

Because its Kolo Toure not Yaya Toure ... or did you not know its 2 different people

Yaya is managing somewhere in Eastern Europe

In your rush to be one of the site’s ‘ funny men’ you sometimes fail to read other poster’s comments properly . This is another of those times

[ClaretTony]

They are good at Wigan

1 promoted and give manager virtually nothing to strengthen squad
2 give manager a new long term contract
3 sack manager less than two weeks after signing the contact
4 appoint Kolo Touré
5 sack him after just over eight weeks

[ClaretTony]

If it had been Yaya Toure ... we could have made a joke about Wigan getting their 'Yaya out'

They actually gave Kolo the job after Yaya turned it down

Yaya is a coach at Spurs academy, Kolo was first team coach at Leicester.

Are you sure it’s Eastern Europe ? More informed posters than yourself say otherwise

[tiger76]

How long was Toure in charge? How many games?

9 in total, 7 Championship matches I know things aren't going well, but to pot him now seems rather kneejerk.

Feels like there's been more sacking in the Championship than usual this season, but I could well be wrong in that feeling.

5 managers in 3 years at Wigan is hardly a sign of a stable club is it.

Hopefully they'll get a new manager bounce for their trip to Ewood though.

I really hope that when you showed yourself up on the TV programme ‘The Chase’ you didn’t mention you supported Burnley . We have enough problems overcoming our stereotype as it is

Yeah I mentioned you and Bradley Walsh offered his sympathies ... He said all clubs Forums have serial name changers Frank

Frank? You used to call me Ringo . You have more disfigurations than the shirt you wore on TV. Surely your missus must have told you when you left the house

Shaun Maloney appointed on a 3 and a half year contract.

[claretblue]

Oooops Liz that was YaYa Toure

I remember watching Kolo warming-up as a sub during our evening game at Anfield…Claret fans were chanting to him:
‘sh1t Ya Ya Toure, you’re just a sh1t YaYa Toure’

fair play to him though…to be fair he was amused and laughing at the chant!

[KRBFC]

Not surprised at all, sometimes owners have to hold their hands up and admit they got it wrong, most important thing is to rectify it asap. They were shipping goals out the ying yang and hadn't won in 9, clearly were heading down without desperate intervention.

but if you did, most interesting Elizabeth, which one would it be?

[Cheshireclaret]

Shaun Maloney appointed on a 3 and a half year contract.

He won 1 game in 13 games, prior to being potted by Hibs - his last managerial post. Seems an ideal candidate for a 3 1/2 year deal in The Championship, what could possibly go wrong?

There really is so much wrong in the running of so many football clubs in this country. Absolute madness.

Yes he hardly pulled up any trees during his brief Hibs tenure, I can only surmise he's been appointed for 2 reasons.

1) he's available and therefore cheap.
2) his connection to the club previously as a player.

I'm not convinced he'll be the man to save Wigan, however he might well prove me wrong wouldn't be the first time.
