Chesterfield have just appointed Gary Caldwell as their new Manager
Very strange move by someone who won this League impressively last season with Wigan... If he then gets Chesterfield relegated this year it could be instant undoing of his reputation
It shows how desperate sacked managers are to get back into the game, with so few jobs available, not helped my foreign owners going for foreign coaches. That's why however idiotic your owner is (us, Coventry, Blackpool etc) you'll always get loads of applications for any vacancy...

it's a right scrap all through our division, indeed all divisions .. like last Saturday, any team can win against any other (Bury 5-Posh 1 for example, Walsall put 4 past the Blades) .. I would not be surprised if Chesterfield avoid relegation .. as you say Caldwell did well (lol) last season albeit with a strong squad .. managers nowadays hate being out of work and most will take any role however 'risky' .. look at someone like Sheridan or Wilson, always working and been sacked more times than a hundredweight of spuds
Notts County sacked Sheridan in December for his behaviour to the referee. Completely unacceptable language, though quite handy for the club as I presume it enabled them to sack him for gross misconduct, and pay no compensation...
In the referee's report, Ilderton said Sheridan repeatedly swore at fourth official Matthew Donohue and also threatened to "knock him out".
Hardy added: "Comments of the type made by Mr Sheridan were utterly appalling and wholly unacceptable, completely undermining the community spirit and focus we are striving to develop here.
"It was our decision to terminate the contract based on what I read in the referee's report regarding the incident.
"In light of the recent disclosure of the referee's report, I thought it appropriate to communicate the exact reasons behind the course of action we took."
Having previously managed Coventry, he knows all about dysfunctional clubs...
Jesus wept, it truly is a merry go round when it comes to managers. What the hell is Mr Personality going to bring to the party at Blackburn? I doubt he will be there at the start of next season.
Alex Neil sacked by Norwich. Strange timing, maybe the owners have written off this season and want to get the next guy in as soon as possible
Local radio saying it's strange because he held his usual, pre-match, press conference today and spoke about summer signings.
Speculating that the guy they're after may not be available for much longer, hence the sacking.
Club have also said that they are having a 'restructuring', so talk of Warburton coming in as Director of Football although Rowett is the early favourite to take over.

Has implications for us and Decan Rudd. Neil had frozen him out, now he may have another chance.
Wonder if many will care with Phillips coming through
Personally would have Rudd ahead of Phillips, but would not be surprised if the regime gave Philips the nod.
As would I... the gap isnt very big but reckon Rudd slightly edges it between the two.
If Dillon is ready to be No.1 then it'll save the club some money which can go into other positions (Something I reckon the club will believe themselves, i.e. If we're safe with a few games to go it'll be interesting to see if Rudd is suddenly dropped like what has happened out in St. Truiden with them selling their First-Team Goalkeeper and promoting the 2nd choice for experience)
The concern isnt whether Phillips is ready though, the concern will be; is Beeney or Mitov good enough to be backup Goalkeeper because if Phillips gets injured we need cover
It's irrelevant for this season anyway. Rudd would be available on a free at the end of the season, what might change is whether Norwich offer him a new contract
I imagine the Norwich fans like him as he's "one of their own" and their academy has a pretty dismal record

If we had just won the last 10 games I can assure you we would have sacked Sheridan anyway.

See you in L1 next season.

Seems like a lower league version of Birmingham with Rowett/Zola.

Not sure about that decision personally. Probably pays the price for not signing a top striker for two seasons in a row.

And if I had got the unnecessary dogs abuse that he did at Northampton last week I would be more than happy to do one.
