Heid named new Wigan Captain

Wigan Athletic have announced that following the departure from the club of former skipper Mario Melchiot the new club captain will be Gary Caldwell, who is expected to be sidelined until October whilst he recovers from two hip operations.

Caldwell joined in January from SPL side Celtic and when he signed Latics boss Roberto Martinez indicated at that time that Caldwell was a leader both on and off the pitch so it comes as no surprise to hear that the Scotland international has been given the honour of Wigan Athletic club captain.

Chris Kirkland deputised with the armband in the seasons opener against Blackpool last Saturday and he shares the assistant captain duties along with Steve Gohouri and Emmerson Boyce, lets hope that the responsibility doesn`t prove to be a weighty one

Why? The defense have got progressively worse since he joined. Their defense is a joke.

Mowbray and Martinez… how the fuck where these clowns anywhere near our managerial shortlist last season?

Wigan will be relegated in April.

Fucking clampits as said above they will be relegated this season.

I've been wanting Wigan to get relegated for a while. This seems to be a good sign that will happen.

Martinez actually did a good job of steering Swansea into the Championship a few years ago. And I believe they missed out on a Championship playoff place the year before he departed for Wigan.

And it looks like Charles N'Zogbia is on the way out of Wigan. He's had a bit of a row with the manager and he's been told he can leave is he wishes to.
