Madness, surely? He was touted as one of the best managers outside the Premier League a few months ago.

Fair point!

Dowie lives around the corner.

That decision is as ridiculous as the Mark Hughes one. I would say I was surprised, but is any football manager sacking a surprise ?

Usually, it means something said behind the scenes?

Yeah, but would he be able to find his way around it?

I live in Preston, and people are reacting with total shock. Hardly anyone thinks that this decision was a good one. They now face a backlash!

Dowie is hiding around every bloody corner, like an utter ponce. . . . saw him doing the o.b for Sky Soccer Special at Barnsley, hope he stays doing that.

Would love to see the reference Richard Murray would provide a prospective employer!

Silly decision.

Irvine will get another good job, did excellently for them in his two years, saving them from relegation one year then play offs the next. Reckon he could end up at Sheffield Wednesday.

Nope, Darren Ferguson has already filled it.

Alan Irvine new manager at Sheff Weds. What will he do regarding Akpo ??

Chris_from_Sidcup

Irvine must be well chuffed, gets sacked (and therefore paid off) by Preston and walks into a bigger club within a week!
