  • Ian Evatt early favourite to replace him - ex-player I guess.
  • Steve Bruce has been sacked by Blackpool 
    And that surely must be his goodbye from professional football.
    He’ll walk into another job . Blackpool was his twelfth or thirteenth club . Ridiculous really 
  • Ange on the brink I'd imagine
  • Ange on the brink I'd imagine
    Come home to Glasgow, please

    What did they expect, it's not his second season yet!

    Maybe if he gets them relegated he can win the Championship next year?

    Surely we're due the Russell Martin club statement by now? Properly weird press comments too.

    Absolutely no surprise. Writing on the wall for ages but he needed a police escort to get to his car today, can’t come back from that

    What an absolutely horrendous appointment this has been. Will be interesting to see who they go for next and if Martin will be back in the championship somewhere this season

  • Russell Martin wrote his own death warrant with that press conference following their first match. Ferguson might have given the hairdryer treatment to the players within the confines of the dressing room but would usually defend them in interviews to the nth degree. 
  • Kevin Muscat early favourite.

    Would leave me hoping they get even worse.

    Wouldn't mind betting that he'll be one of the favourites for the Norwich job when Manning gets sacked (which can't be far off given their start to the season). Martin played at Norwich for quite a few years.
  • Kevin Muscat early favourite.

    Despite being an absolute cunt of a man, he seems to be a decent manager and has won titles in Australia, Japan and China, and with 4 games to go this season his team are top of the league again. If they win it would mean in the last 5 years his teams have won 3 league titles and finished runner up twice.

    That wouldn't surprise me actually, good shout there Chris. I don't even think Manning being a local boy is going to give him that much longer after yesterday. 
  • Even at EFL clubs, managers seem to have teams of people with them. Not just Bloomfield sacked. That's the Lee Harrison who came  through our academy in the 90s, but never played a 1st team game.

    Bloomfield's assistant Richard Thomas, first-team coach Lee Harrison and analyst Ben Cirne have also left Kenilworth Road.

  • Perhaps NJ will want another stint there ? Unfinished business

    This was part of the problem with the Garner appointment, we brought over the wrong part of his back room team

    My money is on Danny Hylton 
  • Jones to Luton confirmed.

    The only problem with the Garner appointment was that we appointed Garner. Shit manager.

    Him, Holden and Appleton all three who should never have even been thought about, let alone appointed.

    I could see the logic appointing Garner - young coach, had a decent season in the league below playing good football, apparently highly thought of as a coach at Palace etc.

    What made no sense was TS appointing a manager to change the style of play when he was planning to cut the budget and not give a manager anything to work with to change that style of play.   Doomed to fail, and if he was planning those sort of cutbacks then sticking with Jackson who was more pragmatic made so much more sense.
