Jewell Disappointed With Cropper s Agent Saturday, 28th Apr 2012 07:00
Boss Paul Jewell has criticised the way Cody Cropper’s agent handled the US U20 goalkeeper’s release by Town. The Blues boss decided not to offer the 19-year-old a new contract on the advice of the club’s goalkeeping staff, who didn’t think the US U20 international was quite up to the required level.
Jewell says he wasn’t happy that the players’ representative spoke to the Atlanta-born keeper before he had: “I was a bit disappointed with his agent because I’d spoken to his agent and his agent went and told the lad before I did. But I explained it to Cody and he understands that that was his agent’s fault.”
Wigan Confirm Richardson as Permanent Boss
Wednesday, 21st Apr 2021 17:57
Wigan Athletic have confirmed the appointment of Leam Richardson, Paul Cook’s Latics, Chesterfield and Portsmouth assistant, as their permanent manager on a three-year deal.
Richardson has been in caretaker charge at the DW Stadium for much of this season and has impressed new owners Phoenix 2021 Ltd.
The 41-year-old didn’t rule out joining Cook at Portman Road after his appointment early in March, however, with Wigan hitting run of form - they have won their last four - to move out of the relegation zone, his permanent appointment by the Latics was looking increasingly likely.
