Lincoln's owners trying to go out on a limb with this one .. he's managed Shamrock, the Man U/Liverpool/Chelsea of Irish football for 6 years .. he was an Arsenal youth teamer but has only ever played professionally in Scotland (very few games) and Ireland .. he's never managed anywhere other than at Shamrock ..
I think he might like a bit of a go in European football, which is a very long way off for Lincoln.
I blame Brexit for that!
Ireland (southern) is still in Europe .. the entire island could soon be
It’s the Republic of Ireland, don’t worry @Lincsaddick I had to correct a certain Ian Baraclough (Non Iron Manager) recently at Wigan away and he’d managed Sligo Rovers in the past.
Michael Appleton and Lee Johnson are among four contenders to be the next Hibernian manager.
Appleton left English League One side Lincoln City last month, while former Hearts and Kilmarnock player Johnson was sacked by fellow third-tier club Sunderland in January.
Rob Edwards has left Forest Green just a few days after winning the league 2 title.
He's expected to be announced as the new Watford manager soon.
Watford's recent managerial decisions have been a nonsense. Just within the last 12 months
A young manager Xisco gets them promoted to the PL, and is then sacked when they are in 15th They then bring in a veteran in Ranieri, then replaced him after a few months by an even older stager in Hodgson Now they're going back to a younger manager, who did well in L2

Suprised at that but do like FGR statement:
"FGR confirms the departure of Head Coach Rob Edwards. Rob was a key part of the team that gained promotion to League One this season. We’re disappointed that our support, loyalty and honesty towards Rob has been repaid in this way - with negotiations taking place behind our backs.
We had no contact from Watford, from whom we might expect less, but in any event this kind of behaviour gives football a bad name.
We thank Rob for all his work at FGR - forgive him the manner of his departure and wish him well."
Gary Rowett is now 5/2 favourite to take over QPR… wonder what our lovely neighbours think of that? 🤔
Seems a strange move.
We can all understand why any civilised person would want to leave the Toolbox, especially a former Charlton captain, but are QPR that attractive as an alternative?

Rob Edwards put out a statement in reply
"Just tucking into a lovely steak. Hmm looking forward to jerk chicken, liver casserole, roast pork, lamb shank, confit de canard, foie gras and steak and kidney pie, yummy. No more tofu ever again."

How long before he sacks Ince and puts himself in charge?
