"In the short period since I took on the role it unfortunately became clear that I would not be able to operate as I intended and was led to believe prior to taking on the role."
Interesting choice of words there. Something going on behind the scenes? Tactical emails from the owner, perhaps?
It suddenly became clear I couldn’t do the job I was employed to do so I left very quickly and hope no one notices if I try to get back into management.
Reading more into it, it seems the owner had far more of an input on team matters than Scholes was willing to allow. As manager (and having worked under Fergie his whole career) he expected full control over team matters but apparently the owner even gave new contracts to some players without Scholes knowing.
He walked, didn’t get the sack, but he walked and was in a legal battle with Lazio as they tried to sue him for €50mil for a breach of contract. But he resigned as it was made immediately clear he would not have been allowed to do what he wanted with team and training ground matters after it had been promised prior to his appointment.
Wasn't Leroy Rosenior sacked within 10 minutes once?
He was after 10 minutes at Torquay .. supposedly the shortest managerial reign, the 'victim' of a takeover .. don't know if it is in the Guinness B of W R

we all love him but he was a one club managerial wonder and he's done rather poorly in his other managerial jobs .. would just LOVE to see him back at the Valley in a coaching capacity .. that is certainly not gonna happen until Duchatelet finally slings his crooked hook
Could argue that Southend are in their natural position though; been a long time since they were in the Championship (one season in twenty years) and have only been back from a five year stay in League Two for a few seasons
If Douche sold, there would be a chance Powell would be back here next year. I can see a Championship club coming for Bowyer at season’s end, if we don’t go up.
