Tommasson offered to leave them in the summer last year, when Blackburn cut their budget and changed their 'project' goals. He was very good at Malmo, I wonder if he might go back there? My ex next door neighbour left Leicester City 2 yrs or so ago to join him at Malmo as sports coach/science development head. Tommassson then joined Blackburn but my mate stayed at Malmo.
He won't go back there, the bastards won the league last season.
Does feel like a genuine mutual consent departure, with Blackburn wanting a change, and Tomasson fed up and wanting to leave!
i think the final straw for Tomasson was the Football League decision this week to block the signing of Orlando City striker Duncan McGuire...........because Rovers' officials admitted submitting the paperwork after the 11pm deadline.
Doubt it, the Swedish league starts in April so a good time to leave for both parties. It gives Bleakburn time to prepare for next season.
Blimey that was quick. He's gone from insisting that "I have a project to finish at QPR" to dumping them for the other Rangers and being sacked in a two horse race to becoming Sunderland's shortest serving permanent Manager of all time. Perhaps he should go back to being a coach/number two?
Birmingham City can confirm that Manager, Tony Mowbray, requires medical treatment which means he will be temporarily stepping away from the on-site management of the Club for a period of approximately six to eight weeks.
Assistant Manager, Mark Venus, will assume temporary responsibility for the team with immediate effect.

Better suited to a career as second hand car salesman by all accounts. No offence intended to second hand car salesmen.

Mowbray has actually been doing an OK job, with four wins from seven games in charge, at Birmingham following the Rooney debacle including the last two games which, ironically, culminated in the defeat of the club that sacked him, Sunderland and that resulted in them booting out Beale today.
Michael Beale really should've stayed at QPR and proved his worth as a Manager. Now the good reputation as a tactical coach and planner under Stevie G has been lost. He talked about loyalty yet quit QPR as soon as The Scottish Rangers came calling.
Going to Rangers where you fail if you finish 2nd to Celtic was always going to be a goldfish bowl existence. Sunderland was the wrong job at the wrong time as Mowbray was popular and Beale was getting grief from day One.
Managerial reputations are easily lost. Beale, after being though of as being the "brains" behind Gerrard, has now failed twice in a row, which will be hard to come back from. And so often clubs and managers just get it wrong.
Darren Moore gets Wednesday promoted, but for whatever reason isn't kept on. His replacement Xisco Muniz was a complete disaster, and now they have Rohl who is doing a decent job. Huddersfield meanwhile decide in September, for some strange reason to replace Warnock with Darren Moore. Darren Moore is a disaster, and they're on their 3rd manager of the season now.
Not sure where Beale goes from here , might have to go back to a larger clubs U21s/first team coach type role and build back from there. Yes I did quite want him when Adkins was appointed when he was still a young first team coach and the tactics mind with Gerrard at Rangers but his last 3 jobs as a No1 have all been disasters.
Here's hoping he has some utterly bizarre training methods and awful people management skills that completely loses him the dressing room and it all implodes for the stripey tossers.
Forest Green will be hard to beat, and this doesn't include caretakers.

The Appleton/Beale dream team now coming to a team near you (if you’re non-league).

Trying to set some records before they go out the EFL.

So that's Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern all on the hunt for a new manager this summer.
