Reading Manager (not going to spell it) has left... Paul Ince has been named as his Interim replacement
Was expecting the sacking, wasn't expecting Ince to arrive. He's not managed since 2014
Weird timing too, as they sacked him after they actually won a game
I suspect that it's the same old story when this happens. Everything is in place, including the manager's replacement, bar the announcement. Most of the time the plan to announce it coincides with another poor performance and on occasions, as part of a smooth "transition", the manager is informed and settlement agreed in advance of that game.
Morecambe's Manager: Stephen Robinson looks set to go to St Mirren
Surprised he's going back to Scotland, to a club that cant be much better than League One
Wonder if Morecambe will get Derek Adams back
This probably actually suits all parties.
Morecambe look like they are imminently destined to be a League 2 club though - they are in the relegation zone and have won just twice in their last 14 games. The likelihood is that he was going to be sacked shortly anyway and if Morecambe really wanted to keep him they would but have given permission to St Mirren to talk to Robinson having agreed a six figure fee as compensation. Adams is also going to be their highest paid Manager of all time. A change of manager at Morecambe might give them a "bounce" sufficient to keep them in the division.

Morecambe would have expected relegation though, it was a miracle they went up at all, so I doubt they would have sacked Robinson
Getting a chastened Adams back is a perfect replacement so yes it does work out well
I'm sure there must be a high correlation between "3 managers in a season" and relegation. We've done it twice for a start - Dowie, Reed, Pardew and Luzon, Fraeye, Riga.

Another reason why Jackson cant be replaced between now and the end of the season...

True but to be fair you're not really likely to need 3 managers in a season unless you're doing really badly and therefore obviously going to be relegation candidates.

St Mirren have appointed Stephen Robinson as their new manager after a compensation package was agreed with English League One side Morecambe.
The former Motherwell boss has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal to succeed Jim Goodwin, who left for Aberdeen.

Joe Gallen (one of Steve's brothers) has also left

Carlisle United have named Paul Simpson as manager for the remainder of the season to replace the departed Keith Millen, who left after 22 games.
Simpson returns to the Cumbrians for a second stint, having guided the club to back-to-back promotions in his first spell in charge at Brunton Park.

Feels a bit like when Dave Jones went to Hartlepool
Question if he has the right approach for League Two Football at that level.
Epitome of an old fashioned managers whose methods have stopped working, and who is on the decline.
