    Sheffield Wednesday have parted company with Xisco Muñoz, who leaves Hillsborough with immediate effect.

    Xisco’s backroom staff - Miguel Muñoz, Miguel Gomila, Roberto Cuesta Roman and Antonello Brambilla - also depart the club.

    Under-21s manager Neil Thompson will take the team for Saturday’s home game against Huddersfield Town in the Championship.

    Been in the job since Feb 2022, so long enough to get them competitive. Bradford at that level should be a top club, so baffling that so many minnows can get promoted ahead of them

    Bad day to be a manager in Yorkshire. Heckingbottom could be the next one.

    Really not sure what their owners expect.

    Get promoted, sold Ndiaye and then sold Berge to a relegation rival.

    I don't see what Sheffield United really expected to happen? I like the Archer and Hamer signings as players but selling Ndiaye in a really drawn out process and selling Berge was never going to help. Don't think heckingbottom is at all the problem and the owner needs to decide if he's actually going to sell up or not. Spent months messing around with a Nigerian bid that never had the funds.

    Did that start with an email from a Nigerian prince asking them to send their bank details?

    Harris sacked at Gillingham 

    The Club has decided it now wishes to go in a different direction and will begin the process of identifying a Head Coach to take the team forward.

    David Livermore will also be leaving the Club.

    Eh?
    Won six, drawn one and lost four out of eleven games.
    19 points from eleven games, so probably one defeat behind schedule for automatics.
    Unlike a lot of Charlton fans I have respect for Neil Harris, have also spoken to him and see him interact with other football people at U21 games.
    Speaking purely personally, had he been available I would have chosen him ahead of Appleton (Appleton has not been bad for us though, he has kept us in a holding pattern at least, and we hope he can achieve the points needed for automatics which is what I keep monitoring) and given the resources at Gillingham he has put some spark into them.
  • Wow. 4 points off the top, out of the playoff positions on GD.

    Gillingham have been playing some pretty turgid stuff though. 9 goals in 11 games.

    Anyone know who they've got up front?

    That is a mad decision. Recent form WWWLDL and sacked.

    Harris had already lost 4 games. 
    He should have been sacked weeks ago & they should be on their 5th manager by now if they knew what they were doing.

    Anyone that signs Bonne should be sacked!

    Hope Bonne isn’t giving him a lift home. Losing your job is enough trauma for anyone in one day! 😉

    D.C. United have announced the departure of Wayne Rooney as the club's manager by mutual consent.

    Saw an article the other day saying that Rooney was probably leaving Washington and was being linked with Birmingham to replace John Eustace.

    Just checked and Birmingham in the last play off place. 

    Will this be a case of a chairman/owner just going for a big name rather than sticking with a bloke who's doing a decent job?

    I read that it's because Eustace is attracting interest from bigger clubs, not because Birmingham are unhappy with him

    Ok, that wasn't in the article I read, thanks.
  • I can't think where Eustace would go, seeing that he's said he's not interested in the Rangers job. There are no obviously bigger clubs in the Championship likely to need a new manager soon, and a PL club surely wouldn't be interested in him.

    Eustace has gone. I guess we'll have to get used to the club being renamed Wayne Rooney's Birmingham City
