Carlisle sack Greg Abbott

Amazingly, depending on how you count it, Powell is now the 12th or 13th longest serving manager in the PL and FL!

  • omg a hugely talented manager, to be replaced by one with a positive media perception and no record of achievement.

    It does seem like time for Greg Abbott to move on. I hope he get's a club who can add a bit of resources to keep his team together just thet little bit longer, so they can maintain momentum over seasons. What he did earlier in replacing players, and bringing in people on short term contracts like Harte and Perricard, was so impressive. I hope he finds the right club.
  • Someone put me out of my misery!

    There are 92 league clubs and only 89 on the list.

    I'm desperately trying to resist trawling to discover the missing 3!
  • I'd assume Carlisle are one of the missing 3
  • Can't see Mourinho on the list and neither is the Brighton manager
  • Well done Chris!
  • I was amazed to see that Pardew is now the second longest Premier League manager.

    And even Parky is only one outside the top twenty overall.
  • If we had kept Parky this entire time he would be 4th on the list behind only Wilder, Tisdale and Wenger, and even then he would be behind Wilder by only 10 days!
  • considering Tisdale was interviewed for us I find it even more remarkable that he is still where he is and it speaks volume of how high regard his chairman hold him, if powelly ever goes I would love to see him given the job

    If Curbs was still here he would be the 1st longest serving.

  • I could see someone like Danny Wilson or Gary Megson getting the Carlisle job.
  • And people want Chris Powell to go as well...

  • Shame as I always liked Greg Abbot.
  • Carlisle need to find the right man, to get them promoted this season, so we can get promotion to the PL up there next season!

    The sacking does seem terribly harsh, silly timing as well, 6 games is hardly enough time to define a season.
  • Depends on the cirumstances though.

    Norwich sacked Bryan Gunn after 2 games and Saints got rid of Pardew after 3-4 games. Didn't do either of them any harm!
  • They've been in horrific form at the back of this year and the start of this. He seems a good guy, but this has been coming for a while.

    You suspect Southampton would have got promoted, even with Pardew in charge. Any L1 team with Ricky Lambert up front would storm that league!
  • no surprise, they were poor last season and are even worse this one
  • That's a shame liked him as there boss
