The club sit in 23rd place in the table, but were promoted last season under Caldwell after storming to the League One title.

Was Caldwell’s sacking the right call? Here’s a cross-section of reaction from Twitter...

Ludicrous decision to sack Gary Caldwell at Wigan.Gets you promotion,so deserves time - not 3 months! Another chairman, another panic button.

Phil Wilkinson ‏@PWilkinsonWIG:ago

Wow. Caldwell sacked. I know results been poor but still, sad to see him go. He was called a “Long term appointment” when he got the job

Greg Farrimond ‏@GregFarrimond:

Great club man who gave his all on and off the pitch though.

And he scored the bloody winner at Anfield #wafc

mikimus-prime ‏@mikie121752:

So #Caldwell gets #Wigan promoted immediately in his first full season as a manager, and then sack him 3 months in! No loyalty there

V.sorry to see Caldwell go. I think there’s been some unnecessary panic - and some fans are as guilty as the club there #wafc

James Whyte ‏@JamesWhyte8:

When times were good. Thanks for the memories Gary lad... good luck! Up the tics

Sam Whyte ‏@SamWhyte_:

Good luck to Gary Caldwell. No matter what’s happened this season, he gave me some of my best memories as a Tics fan. #wafc #superman

Winning a League now really counts for nothing anymore Gary Caldwell wins League one and is sacked 5 months later after a poor start.

Gary Caldwell sacked not a surprise to me after watching the negative dross served up at home games I’ve been at #Wigan #upthetics #Caldwell
