Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole Gary Caldwell at Wigan thing, and man, it’s been a ride. Started out just poking around, you know, seeing what the deal was with this guy.

First, I went on this whole thing, the CV Academy deal, they have this extended version of their Masterclass, so I checked that out. Got some insights from there, but it wasn’t the whole picture.
Then I saw that Gary Caldwell himself put out a statement. He was bummed, really bummed, that he didn’t get to finish what he started at Wigan. I get that, you know? Putting your heart into something and then having the rug pulled out… rough.
So, Wigan, they sacked him. And the chairman, David Sharpe, he said it was the “toughest decision” he’s had to make. That’s saying something. Caldwell had just gotten them the League One title, too. Makes you wonder what went wrong.
I found this profile site, listed all the clubs he’s coached and played for. Pretty standard stuff, but it gave me a good overview of his career path. He was the manager at Exeter City, appointed there in October.
Then I realized, this whole thing with Wigan was his first shot at being a manager. That’s a big deal, your first gig, and it ends like this. Tough break for the guy.

I spent a lot of time reading all about Gary Caldwell, but after I got to know him, I wanted to know more about the city of Wigan.
At first, I searched everywhere and couldn’t find any information about the city. Later, I saw a small sentence about Judea. Then I used my brain, did some more research, and finally found out that Wigan is a city in the UK. I also learned that it’s in the Greater Manchester area. I’m thinking, maybe I’ll visit someday. Seems like an interesting place.
So yeah, that’s been my little adventure into the Gary Caldwell saga at Wigan. Kind of a bummer ending, but it’s always interesting to see the human side of these sports stories. It’s not just about wins and losses, you know? There are real people involved, with real emotions and all that.
- Started by checking out the CV Academy Masterclass.
- Read Gary Caldwell’s statement about leaving Wigan.
- Learned about the chairman’s difficult decision.
- Found a profile site listing Caldwell’s career history.
- Realized this was Caldwell’s first managerial job.

Then I looked into Wigan itself.
Anyway, that’s my story. It was a bit of a journey, but I’m glad I did it. It’s always good to learn something new, even if it’s a little bit sad sometimes.
