After Martin Jol its another show in JJB stadium..

Hutchings was dismissed on Monday morning after just seven months and 12 games in charge at the JJB Stadium.

Chris Hutchings tells media he was not given enough time to turn things around at Wigan Athletic.

The decision of chairman Dave Whelan followed Saturday's 2-0 Premier League defeat to Chelsea, the Latics sixth successive defeat.

"I'm obviously very disappointed in the decision the chairman made but once he's made his decision there's no going back on it, we've got to look forward," Hutchings told media.

I'm disappointed that we couldn't carry on with the work that we'd started and obviously with one or two injuries coming back and getting back to full fitness it would have made a difference for us."

Hutchings, who took over the role after Paul Jewell's departure at the end of last season, added: "You need time to impose your own style of play.

"That was no disrespect to the way we had been playing before which was successful, but we felt we wanted to try and take the club forward to get more craft-like players into the team.

"I'd introduced six or seven new players and that takes time to develop and obviously these days you don't seem to be getting that time.

"I'd like to thank the supporters, they've been great for me, in recent weeks when we have been losing games but they are not silly, they could see we had a few injuries at that time.

"You are judged by your results and we haven't got any in recent weeks."

Former Liverpool, Rangers and Newcastle boss Graeme Souness is firm favourite to replace Hutchings at the JJB. But despite his sacking the 50-year-old admits he's desperate to return to management.

Hutchings added: "I want to get back into football as soon as possible.

"What's happened happened and I've got to look on the bright side and look forward to what might be around the corner."
