  • Carlisle sack Keith Millen
    Only appointed at the end of October!

    I'm sure there must be a high correlation between "3 managers in a season" and relegation. We've done it twice for a start - Dowie, Reed, Pardew and Luzon, Fraeye, Riga.
    True but to be fair you're not really likely to need 3 managers in a season unless you're doing really badly and therefore obviously going to be relegation candidates.
  • Conte is ready to walk away from Tottenham apparently

    The Leyton Orient job is available
  • Grant McCann will return to Peterborough for his second spell there as manager
  • Grant McCann will return to Peterborough for his second spell there as manager
    He's already there i'm led to believe but only on a temporary basis until the end of the season.
  • Mark Hughes in at Bradford
  • Mark Hughes in at Bradford
    Wow. It'll be fascinating how that goes, Bradford are the epitome of a sleeping giant, but a succession of managers have failed there
  • Cant believe he's been out of Management for four years now.

    Feels a bit like when Dave Jones went to Hartlepool

    Question if he has the right approach for League Two Football at that level.

    Don’t know why but can see this appointment going down the same road with us and Adkins.!

  • I don't fancy their chances of him doing well there to be honest.

    Epitome of an old fashioned managers whose methods have stopped working, and who is on the decline.

    Unlike Adkins or Jones, Hughes has no experience of lower league football.

    All but one of his playing season were at the top flight, ditto his club management career has all been in the PL.

    A longish term project too, seeing that it's almost certainly too late for a promotion push this season
  • League One strugglers Morecambe have reappointed Derek Adams as manager, less than nine months after he left the club to join Bradford City.

    Let's hope that happens and the "three manager curse" strikes the Spuds. Relegation this year would be a tough ask but I'll accept it happening next year.
  • Never considered Conté to be a quitter .. turns out he might have a lot in common with the WW2 Italian army tanks .. 4 reverse gears and 1 forward in case they were attacked from the rear
  • Reports that Bielsa is gone from Leeds. 

    Ex Leipzig boss Jesse Marsch to take over. 
  • Leeds United can today confirm the club have parted company with head coach Marcelo Bielsa.

    Shocked at that. Bielsa is a hero at Leeds. 

    I'd take him!

    Results don't lie though. They're just shipping goals and in real danger

    Sad news, but his refusal to change his style was getting ridiculous.

    Like JJ you mean?

    I wouldn't. 

    Couldn't have a manager who had to speak through an interpreter. We have enough problems with players trying to understand what Jackskn's trying to do, let alone 2nd hand through someone else.

    Bielsa was being paid a reported 8 Million a year at Leeds .. when I saw them play us at the Valley 2/3 years back, he spent all his time sitting on his blue bucket like a Latin Buddha while his many assistants shouted instructions to the players .. there were four of them all pointing and gesticulating in different directions, that could be why they lost .. Gallagher's first goal for us as well if I recall

    Not to be confused with Jodie Marsh
  • Not surprised. They were dead certs for relegation if they didn't make a change

    Irritating bloke because  he never learned English.  Attractive football though.
    Attractive for Sky or the neutral fan.

    They've shipped a lot of goals last season and this, their fans must worry that they have to score at least two to get a draw at best.

    Your aware he speaks English to the players right?

    I mean this may be a whoosh but it is a very common misconception around that he can't speak English, he speaks decent English.

    The interpreter is there for interviews as English is not his first language and he knows what the English press is like and he doesn't want anything he says turned around against him, so he prefers to speak in his own language with the use of the interpreter.

    I actually find that's a clever way of doing it, press can't miss quote you then.
    I wasn't aware of that. It might make sense but I still think if he's English is good enough for the players then urs good enough for the press. We have many foreign coaches & I dont know many who are misquoted or misunderstood.
