When he took over at Wigan, he was the bloke who took Paul Cook from Portsmouth, which then led to a promotion.
The only stick he got was as a consequence of Wigan fans thinking they shouldn't be down the bottom end of the championship.... Which in reality is idiotic given their crowds, and the money they have to compete with.... Which used to be funded by his Grandfather but wasn't anymore.
Heard a good interview with him once somewhere, think it was on TalkSport. He seemed to definitely have his head screwed on.

Ok thanks for that, I'm sure John knows what hes doing, brilliant to have an ambitious young character on board and hopefully he has some good contacts!

the real question is how long will it take for those on here to blame Sharpe if we're not doing well on the pitch? didn't take long before Greg Abbott was being questioned and blamed!

Since the Radfords moved to Portugal things have started to unravel and this year has been a shambles. I think this appointment will help keep standards high throughout the club in their absence.
I would think that despite being young he’ll have some good contacts, and is the kind of character that will be desperate to get it right from what I’ve heard of him in the past.
I also see this as a signal of intent for when we can eventually get going for next season.

Only the timing feels odd given what’s going on in the world but hopefully a sign that we’ll survive and hopefully flourish after this awful period.

Like everyone says and knows, things haven’t been the same since the Radfords moved to Portugal.
