example of a great success in L1 just not making the grade in the champ .. still, the owner is tighter with his cash than Ashley and Duchatelet put together
Could argue that Hurst was backed though: Gwion Edwards (Peterborough) | Ellis Harrison (Bristol Rovers) | Nolan and Nsiala (Shrewsbury) | Jackson (Accrington), all of them are undisclosed fees and cant imagine any one being cheap coming from Peterborough - As you can tell by the theme though, all good lower league players but need a few experienced heads there too in case they cant make the step up
Didnt help they lost Waghorn for £5m
Hurst will be back sooner than you think, wouldnt be surprised if there is a team in League One underachieving at the moment thinking about it
Oxford and Bradford (I know they've already replaced one manager this season) are the two that jump out

not so sure that he'll be in big demand just yet .. Ipswich have had a terrible season and I suspect that prospective employers will give Hurst time to lick his wounds/recover his mojo before offering him a job .. we will see ..
EDIT and your point about the Ipswich/Hurst signings .. nowadays signing a few promising players from the lower leagues is just not enough .. I am 'concerned' about the number of foreign players now in the champ .. rivals Norwich for example with a German manager have imported several experienced, battle hardened Germans, not of international class, but solid professionals .. and Norwich, like Huddersfield before are starting to see the rewards
Missed the sacking of Hurst. Ipswich aren't known as a "sacking" club so things must have been bad there for them to act so soon. It's not as if they're completely stranded either.

Their next few games are "easier", so it gives a new manager a chance.
Mmm ex Norwich manager, wonder how that goes with the Tractor Boys?
He'll be tolerated for the rest of the season if it looks like he's getting them out of trouble. They'll turn on him next season when they're sitting in 14th playing turgid football.
Go on lads; go for Luis Enrique (I know he's a Barcelona legend so wouldn't anyway) just to wind 'em up for shits and giggles at the Spanish FA
Conti favourite I heard.
Not anymore. Vetoed by the senior players at Real apparently. Manager of Castilla, Real's "B" team is favourite to get it, for the short term at least.

Watched the game (on TV in Spain) with my Madrid supporting friends. Apparently Conte and Mourinho have been approached but Courtios has warned that he would leave and that they play crap football. Fans not keen on either.

Unless the Castilla guy is an instant success, I can only seeing them aggressively pursuing Pochettino, just can't see any other appealing options. Think they'll get him but they'll probably have to wait until the summer.

I think you might be right, but hope not. Pochettino is good for English (England) footballers.
AFC Wimbledon are a bit like Charlton and need someone who gets the club - Cant think of any other ex-Wimbledon players in any form of Football Management other than Dennis Wise who they'd be really stupid to appoint
Sad for Ardley to leave Wimbledon, but they've not been playing well.
Would Euell want to go there? Yes it's his club, but it's a step backwards as well, a club with a very small budget who will never progress any higher realistically

Great chance to get his name on the Managerial rung though if thats what he wants to do
Ardley has probably made the mistake by staying too loyal to Wimbledon (I dont know if he had the opportunity to go else where) yet by being sacked from there instead of walking into another job I imagine it'll be harder for him to progress without taking a step back himself
