The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[Sanguine]

Yeah, a couple of quotes say something like 'academy trips out became something like stag do meets hen do.'

Personally I think the FA have found a convenient reason to get rid of him (I don't believe Glenn didn't know the full detail before) ahead of a reinvestigation of the racism allegations. The FA claimed Katherine Newton didn't interview Drew Spence because Aluko didn't name her directly and so they couldn't identify her. But Aluko had made it clear it was a black Chelsea player on her first England camp.

Aluko herself is a qualified lawyer - I just can't see she'd be making this stuff up.

The Brum owners really do seem to be wanting the club to go down. Absolutely shocking decisions from the moment they got rid of Rowett when they were 7th.

That's not uninspiring - it's brilliant! Off to League One with ya!

[From Despair To Where?]

After two no doubt expensive failures, I'd imagine the key requirements for the job were "cheap" and "desperate".

That's stupid, i was only thinking yesterday whilst listening to Talk Sport that I think he's a great guy and good manager if given more time and patience.

Hope Leicester go down
