Some Famous People called David Sharpe
David Sharpe (football club chairman)
David Sharpe (born 11 May 1991) has been the chief executive and director of football of English football club Mansfield Town since May 2020. He was formerly chairman of Wigan Athletic (2015–2019).
Sharpe was born in Wigan. He was educated at Shrewsbury School, and then studied business at Oxford Brookes University. Sharpe's grandfather is Dave Whelan, who took control of Wigan Athletic in February 1995. Whelan made Sharpe a director at Wigan in December 2014, and was appointed as chairman after Whelan's resignation in March 2015. At the age of 23, he became one of the world's youngest football bosses. Sharpe's appointment came with shock and scepticism from both fans and the media as the youngest chairman in English football. Sharpe’s first major decision was to sack Malky Mackay on Easter Monday after a 2–0 home defeat to Derby County. With 5 games remaining till the end of the season Sharpe appointed former club captain Gary Caldwell, however Wigan Athletic fell short and were relegated to League One.thumb|178x178px|Sharpe with his grandfather Dave WhelanThe 2015–16 season, Sharpe and Caldwell’s first full season, saw the club winning League One and being promoted to the Championship. During the following season, Sharpe made the decision to sack Gary Caldwell after a run of 14 games with only two victories. Sharpe appointed Warren Joyce from Manchester United who came highly recommended from well-known names such as Sir Alex Ferguson. However, results didn't improve and, in March 2017, Sharpe sacked Joyce. The club was now in a relegation battle and Graham Barrow took over as caretaker manager.
After relegation was confirmed Sharpe made the decision to approach Portsmouth for their manager Paul Cook. Cook was appointed in June 2017. Wigan managed to keep star players and under Cook have dominated League One so far this season.
