    Hasn't managed for 3 and a half years, and was woeful in his last role at Villa. 

    What can the QPR owner see that we can't?
    No compensation to pay another club ?

    Rochdale Football Club is delighted to announce that Brian Barry-Murphy has been appointed as the Club’s new first team manager on a two-year contract.

    Barry-Murphy has taken charge of first team affairs since the departure of Keith Hill and Chris Beech last month, securing an impressive eight points from an available 12 whilst at the helm, with the team having won two and drawn two under his stewardship.

    He will continue to be aided by Lee Riley, while Tony Ellis will remain in his dual role of Academy Manager and First Team Matchday Observational Coach. Steve Collis, Callum Jones, Ross Jones and Andy Thorpe remain a strong part of Barry-Murphy’s backroom staff. 

    Never heard of that job title before! And why do Rochdale have so many backroom staff anyway?

    Walsall sack Dean Keates after their loss to Oxford today. Another L1 struggler hoping a new man will keep them up

    Think Pulis will be shown the door this week.

    Amazed he's still there. Their football has been dire all season and they average less than 1 goal a game at home. Steve Gibson is certainly loyal.

    Before the last 6 games weren't they still 4th though?

    Terrible run though, think that'll do for him.

    Tbf it's in the football rule book that Middelsborough shall score very few goals.

    In all my years watching I've never known Middlesbrough to be a flamboyant team.

    Weren't bad that season they reached the UEFA Cup final, they had some decent games/comebacks along the way. But yeah in general you're pretty much correct.

    Michael Appleton deserves a chance at QPR. The ayes to the left have it.

    Alex McLeish has left his position as Scotland head coach by mutual consent.

    The 60-year-old took on a second spell in charge in February last year but has been under pressure because of recent poor results and performances.

  • Great timing!!... Why didnt they sack him straight after the San Marino game giving themselves three months to prepare for the next round of games in June

    They've wasted a month by keeping McLeish and will no doubt waste more time as they look for someone who isnt quick enough to come up with an excuse for turning it down

    Robbie Fowler appointed manager of Brisbane Roar. I wonder how long he will last...
  • See that he's replaced Josh Aloisi as Manager

    Probably the one Striker name that'll stick with me from my youth - Will never forget how he turned us down for Coventry

    Didn't he punch one of our players and get sent off once too?

    John Aloisi that is, not Robbie Fowler.

    Plymouth Argyle sack the arrogant Derek Adams with one game left of the season. A game which is their biggest, at home to fellow relegation candidates, Scunthorpe United.

    Lost their last 5 including that 5-1 loss on Saturday away at Accrington Stanley.

    Got one or two players who I would like us to potentially look at signing though.

    I'd like to see Scunthorpe go down. Sacked Graham Alexander in March last year with the team in 5th, could face him next season in League 2 if his Salford side get promoted (currently 3rd).

    This was poor show by Scally - they looked dead and buried when he took over.
    Word is that Steve Evans is coming in with full back-room team (and lunch).

    Wont be surprised in the slightest if both go down

    Didnt like Derek Adams found him very arrogant but had a lot of respect for him as a Manager, did well to get Plymouth back into League One and then resurrected them to lead them to cusp of the Play-Offs last year, think they've sacked him at the wrong time to be honest and against a team that havent won in 13-games Plymouth stood a good chance of survival

    A very surprising slump for both clubs considering Scunny were 5th and Plymouth 7th last season. Indeed with Bradford 11th the only current member of the bottom 4 who were strugglers last season are Walsall.

    A strange time to change manager but losing 5-1 to Accrington is a shocking result and their form is awful, just as bad as Scunthorpe's really. Their game next week will be a cracker

    I heard that Lovell was told that his contract wasn't being renewed, and walked on Friday

    That will please the Argyle fans I know. They reckon he is too negative and doesn't know how to change a game. Also refused to play their no. 11 (Llamaris?) until halfway through the season.
