22nd in the table with no win in 10 this season, owners are probably hopping he is suspended from football so they can replace him without paying him off
Wally Downes susspended by Wimbledon after FA investigations into betting irregularities which took place in 2011/2012.
Apparently he bet £1.11 on a woman’s match in Mexico. If true, I’m 50/50 on this. Obviously there are strict betting rules and he knew that but if he didn’t know any of the players, coaches etc to gain inside information, it’s not exactly crime of the century. Hopefully he will only get a fine rather than a ban

But then that's why Joey Barton did (though on a much greater scale), betting on matches where he had no personal involvement, and he got banned from playing for a year or two which effectively ended his career

WHAT? He once bet on himself for first goalscorer!
if they had won a penalty at 0-0 i would have liked to have seen someone else get the ball off of him!

Sorry didn't realise that, though while I agree the principle has to adhered to, the actual sum was only £3!

the question you have to ask yourself here is why bother?

Also bet on his own team to lose several times I believe.
League One strugglers Southend United want to bring in former Sweden, Celtic, Barcelona and Manchester United striker Henrik Larsson as their new manager. (Mail)
They seriously need someone who is going to tighten up that defence and stop them conceding so many goals. Otherwise, as things are going Southend are going to get cut adrift from everyone else above them and there will only be one relegation space to fill in League One.
Thing is which way do they turn... Could go experienced but Paul Hurst @ Scunthorpe isnt doing great, nor can I think of one who would be useful that is out of work
Would question if they should consider doing what Shrewsbury did by looking down the Leagues as you've got the likes of Matt Taylor and Mike Duff at Cheltenham doing wonders, maybe they should look at the Conference and find another Ricketts like what Shrewsbury did
Someone from abroad though, is that really the right way to go? - Larsson's name might bring in a few people and so raise the gate receipts but is that better than playing it safe?
Harris gets the chop at Millwall and goes there, he finished his career there and was born in Orsett which is about 20 miles from Southend
Well he left Millwall lets see if he goes Southend as I predicted
What the fuck do some chairmen want...?? He got them promoted at the first time of asking & I doubt they have much of a budget. Just glad we have the owner we do....😉
You see I agree about Bowyer setting a high bar for others to look at and compare to.
However, they’ve scored the least and conceded the most so far this season. They also spent about £5mil in the summer and haven’t won a game since the opening game of the season.
If they want any chance of staying up, they have to part ways because he doesn’t show any ability in being able to turn them around.
If Barnsley had finished in the play offs last season and not gone up, he'd likely have kept his job and they would probably be battling again for promotion this season.
He did even better and got them promoted, now gets sacked because they're not mid table.
It's a cut throat results busines where some owners pull the trigger quicker than others. Nathan Jones has been at the other end of the spectrum at Stoke, whilst Solskjaer and Marco Silva might not be so lucky.

Shocked that the most recent bet was on the 12th July this summer, i.e. well after Joey Barton was banned, surely you would learn the lesson

Not that we beat them according to Jose...

Just say you sacked him & move on.
