Wigan signs Titus Bramble

Chris Hutchings: "This is an excellent signing for us"
Wigan boss Chris Hutchings has made his first foray into the transfer market by snapping up former Newcastle defender Titus Bramble. Bramble was shown the door following an error-filled spell on Tyneside, but his availability on a free transfer alerted a clutch of clubs.
Portsmouth were believed to be leading the hunt for the 25-year-old, but he has instead headed to The JJB Stadium. Bramble has been handed a three-year deal and Hutchings is delighted with his first dip into the transfer market.
"This is an excellent signing for us," Hutchings told the club's official website. "He will add experience to the back four and now we must keep up the chase for further targets. "Other clubs were very interested and it speaks volumes for us as a club that he has chosen to come here." -
Wigan will be playing in the Championship for season 08/09

Chris Hutchings
Management careerHe took charge as Bradford's manager during the 2000-2001 season after Jewell moved to Sheffield Wednesday. However, he lasted only 21 games, including just one win in 12 Premiership games, and was sacked in November 2000.
Is history about to repeat itself ?
Hutchings was appointed as Wigan Athletic manager following the resignation of Paul Jewell on 14 May 2007...

With the inclusion of Bramble, i think this time he'll last shorter than 21 games
-
didnt he signed for prompy already??
this is actually a good signing for wigan. btu i still think they will be relegated next season -
Damned! Toon Army shd have offered him for a price instead of letting him go for free! Damned Freddy!
-

bye wigan !!

WTH are they thinking???
-
i think birmingham, sunderland, derby and the likes are cheering and toasting champagne upon hearing the news.
I dun understand their logic - Wigan is a decent team and they are going down the toilet by signing the wrong players - Celeb Folan was decent in front -scored a few goals, and I especially like Schaner (the Austrian defender). And by signing Bramble, they have booked an advanced ticket down. Guess they feel that Coca Cola sounds better than Barclays. -
up e lorry, wigan
-
Lets give Bramble some chance. Maybe for Newcastle he could not shoulder the heavy responsibility? At Wigan maybe new strategies and tactics to fully utilise him?
-
with that signing, Wigan is doomed....
-
Wigan's gonna end up in the championship. Wonder what Bramble gonna make during his spell with Wigan

His usual brillant defending.Originally posted by glacer:Wigan's gonna end up in the championship. Wonder what Bramble gonna make during his spell with Wigan
Anyway, Wigan is doomed appointing Hutchings. He's a noob.
Cheers.
