The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[Sanguine]

Anybody who buys into the "I'm resigning to have my knees done" BS is a moron

Especially as it's elective rather than emergency surgery

Quite.

He was Talksport this morning passionately making the case for having this operation now, a day after the transfer window closed, and quitting as he couldn't be at the training ground, despite Hoddle being in place as first team coach.

Utter BS.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Cringeworthy how much Alan Brazil was sucking up to him.

Apparently Les Ferdinand was put in charge of overseeing the transfers...Harry wasn't happy with this loss of power

I can believe he is in genuine pain with his knees but I bet he'd have suffered with the pain until the summer if a) they were in the top 6 or b) Fernandez had given him the green light to spunk millions on donkeys in the transfer window.

Corrected

Beat me to it

[Royalclapper]

Anyone in charge of a PL club that fields Clint Hill and Richard Dunne as their two centre backs for an away game deserves to be sacked.

Yeovil sack Gary Johnson

[Royal Ginger]

Shame, likeable manager at a plucky club playing well above where they probably should have been for the last few seasons.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Bit of a seesaw management thing currently going on there.

(from memory, feel free to correct me Ian) Johnson was manager, Skiverton became manager, Johnson became manager again with Skiverton assisting, now Skiverton is manager again.

[Ian Royal]

Wiki says:

Thompson
Webb
Thompson
Addison
Johnson
Thompson
Slade
Thompson
Skiverton
Johnson
Skiverton

So since 1999 they've had a grand total of ten managerial changes, but only six different people to manage them.

How cross-dressing Harry damaged his knees?

[paultheroyal]

Pearson gone...

Not sure who is available that could rescue them now.

Hands off our Steve and Nigel is available!!

[TFF]

Sauce?

EDIT - see rumours on t'interweb now.

LOL - never liked him and that stuff yesterday was a bit weird

[Uke]

Confimred

Initially seems a bit rough on Pearson, but they were utterly dominant last season and had a good base to build on, so probably a fair cop. Poison chalice of a job though for whoever come in, immediate return next season will be expected if they don't do the great escape.

[Matt de K]

Has he actually gone?? Reports saying that he isn't. V weird from lcfc - 3hrs of speculation, and complete silence from the club!!

[paultheroyal]

Leicester City appoint Pearson as caretaker manager

[TFF]

Damn.

Soon though.

Football clubs dont need to jump to attention every time the media demand it.

Maybe something did happen, but I like to think the Leicester owners were just sitting back lolzing away for a few hours while terrible journalists ran around flapping
