The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[Royal Rother]

End of stability and a gradual decline almost certainly beckons.

Shame on them.

Clough had them playing good football with a young side, and tbf I thought they deserved to beat Forest by a couple of goals on Saturday.

Very odd decision by the Derby board.

[LoyalRoyalFan]

I always liked hearing Clough in his post-match press duties, he was very blunt.

Remember his scathing criticism of Cywka.

Just stuck some money on Pards to be next manager to go at 6/1. Don't think that price will be available for long

McClaren appointed Derby boss last night

Does it rain much in Derby?

[St. Brynjar]

At 4-1 down tonight McClaren took charge of the team, gave the talk and made a few subs, and they drew 4-4. Very early days but that's not a bad start.

As you say, only a start, but it highlights why Sunderland had to get rid of Di Canio. You can have the best tactician in the world, but if the players won't play for the boss, you may as well not bother taking to the pitch. Whatever McClaren said, the players went out there fired up and with something to prove. If you could just bottle that...

[SLAMMED]

I look forward to hearing McClaren's Derbyshire accent in his first interview.

[URZZZZZ]

Sunderland are expected to name Gus Poyet as their new manager in the next 24 hours, according to Sky sources.

So they've gone from a manager who won the 4th division, to one that won the 3rd division.......next year they will appoint McDermott

[Sanguine]

Tbf it's the appointment they should have made in the first place.

[URZZZZZ]

Confirmed?

[winchester_royal]

David Weir gets knifed from the blades. Nigel Clough the early favourite to replace him.

[Uke]

Clough and Yorkshire

What could possibly go wrong?

If Weir hadn't been been spotted leading a double life dicking about in a wheelchair pretending to be disabled he'd probably still have his job.

[URZZZZZ]

Coach Holger Osieck has been sacked by Australia after his team were defeated 6-0 by France in a friendly on Friday.

So losing 7 of their first 10 league games and got knocked out of the Johnstones Paint trophy by Hartlepool in midweek had nothing to do with it? His post match interview in midweek was very much in the manner of someone who new his number was up.

Been on the cards for weeks, expecially with their new owner promising Premiership football within 5 years.

So you don't think it was him in the wheelchair then?
