  WIGAN have dumped David Unsworth - four days after he bagged them £30MILLION. The veteran defender has been told he has no future at the JJB Stadium after he kept them in the Premiership.
  
  Unsworth, 33, scored the winner in Wigan's crunch relegation decider against Sheffield United on Sunday. His calm spot-kick sent the Blades down as the Latics held on for a vital 2-1 victory at Bramall Lane. But despite ensuring Wigan would claim a share of the huge Premiership pay-out next season, the ex-Everton star has been released by the Lancashire club.

  That is.... cruel.... but I guess they were honest with him. And at least he has the change to look at a better future elsewhere.

  Must look at it this way, they are not letting him face a life at Wigan on the bench or even in the reserves. It'd be even more unfair that way.

  Hutchings releases another
  
  Wigan Athletic's new boss Chris Hutchings has allowed Arjan de Zeeuw to follow David Unsworth out of The JJB exit door.
  
  Unsworth, who scored the crucial penalty in the win at Sheffield United, was freed earlier on Thursday and now De Zeeuw has also departed.
  
  The Dutch defender made over 200 appearances in two spells for the club and Hutchings has praised his efforts for the club over the years.
  
  "Arjan has been a wonderful servant to Wigan, a true leader on and off the field and has been a major player for us in two spells here," he told the club's official website.
  
  "He is definitely one of the best professionals I have ever worked with during my time in football and I wish him all the best in the future."

  If i'm not wrong, Hutchings was the manager of Bradford a few years ago rite? And if i remember correctly, he suck.
  
  Unsworth and De Zeeuw are better off elsewhere.
  
  Cheers.
