Manager Sacking and Appointment Thread

[Tangled up in Blue]

Well said. I think the owners are septics and had lined up Rooney as he quit DC Utd. Imagine John Eustace will have a smug grin now and rightly so

There is a more polite version of this you know.My late father who was a cockney (and served in WW2) always used the term shermans for Yanks.

Not that I think Kev will depart now, but I'd imagine that he must at least be on County's shortlist to replace Williams.

Hartlepool have sacked manager John Askey.

Lennie Lawrence taken temporary charge there’s a blast from the past 76 years young.

Rooney did OK at DC United and Derby but he's been a disaster at Birmingham. Perhaps they should stop hiring fat-faced managers halfway during a season from teams with United in their name?

Rules out Steve Bruce then

So did I that’s why I was surprised to see him still involved in football management.

Colchester get their men in the Cowley Brothers.

Hell of a coup by the scum!

Can they polish a **** though?

The rise and fall of….

At this rate they’ll be working back as PE teachers by the end of the year! Pair of Jokers!!

They did with Concorde Rangers and Braintree look where they are now.

Well, it's all very odd there and I think they struggled at Huddersfield because of they didn't have full control of transfers etc. Cowling is renowned for sticking his nose in where transfers are concerned.

The fact they had announced the signing of a new player, which they paid a fee for prior to getting the Cowley's in would be a concern to me.

On the note of the new player, the Motherwell fans in the tweet were brilliant comments such as "He's gone and can't believe someone paid for him "

This is a pretty damning list! If we get promoted under Kev he’ll actually be quite high up it

Says a lot about modern day football, 4 bad results on the bounce and you could be gone.

Sometimes they stay on and improve like Arteta did, Arsenal fans were calling for him to get sacked and then he turned it around, has built a good squad and put in decent pushes for the title 2 seasons in a row.

Karl Robinson now sitting in the hot seat at Salford wonder how long before it turns into an ejector seat.

Plymouth Argyle appoint Ian Foster

Yes but let's see how they do against the 'Pool tomorrow in the Cuo.

Someone will hopefully take a chance on John Eustace. He's only 44. The Birmingham job was his first full time Managers job. So for his first shot at being a Manager, he did fantastic, and proved himself at clearing the decks and getting better players. Before that, he was assistant at QPR and the Republic of Ireland.

I find it interesting how frequently successful managers are those who played central midfield in their playing career.

That is good news.
