Pimped himself for the Hearts job at least once.

Gained the consolidation prize.

To be honest, if I was the Aberdeen board, I wouldn't have sacked Barry Robson. Basically, they've found themselves in the same boat as Hearts last season. Trying to juggle group stage European football and the domestic league at the same time. The squads just aren't big enough to allow for consistent results and the finances aren't there to build a decent sized squad because, once you're knocked out of Europe, you then find yourself with too many players on the books!

Short termism rears its ugly head again.

I have told my mate Jim about Warnock so I would be disappointed my views were not heard if he ever got the Hearts job

Two stories revolving round Palace trying to poach McKenna. 

It's either Ipswich have turned down an official approach or McKenna has turned down the opportunity.

I think that might be it for Woy Hodgson managing, he's stable now in hospital thankfully, I'm sure he will be advised to pack it in and put his feet up.

Hope I'm not still working at his age, being alive obviously be a bonus as well 😐

Just seen this about Roy. Still working at that age. Time for a well earned rest Roy and get well soon.

Loved that interview when he ripped the Sky(?) Interviewer a new one for asking stupid leading questions iirc.

All the best to him.

Beale could be good for us, still have to play Millwall, QPR, Blackburn and ourselves, after giving Huddersfield and Birmingham a lifeline. Shame it didn't happen 2 games earlier. With any luck, their playoff hopes will be sorted by the last game and they'll be on the beach or resting players.

The Mowbray loss could hurt us though. Rotherham, QPR, Millwall and Huddersfield  still to play. If they're out of the relegation running, winning those 4 could help us massively.

Seems like every manager change seems to hurt us in some way at the minute.

Hodgson steps down.

I see Palace are pretending that they weren’t in the process of sacking him when he was taken to hospital.

Thinks thats 12 Championship Teams having changed Managers now including all the bottom 10.

Millwall , Birmingham, Huddersfield and Sunderland have all sacked / released two Managers.

 

the joke of course is that you can almost guarantee the 3 teams getting relegated from the EPL will be in the top 6 next - however much that pains me as it will include the S2 lot 

They will have to seriously implode financially not to be - so crossed fingers 

That means you have about 16 clubs that might flirt with the play offs or relegation each year. Their owners have deluded themselves that promotion is feasible as do their fans. At the other side you shit yourself that income could floor if you go down to league one and you are more likely to wallow in there for a few seasons if your finances are screwed. 

The reality is they just replace one failure with another failure and round you go

But the likes of Sunderland fans have quickly gone from being grateful to being entitled - all football fans are the same really

Do we qualify as the latter?

Didn't realise an ex Wednesday legend was in caretaker charge of Cambridge after Harris left...

Was thinking earlier I couldn't remember any of his Wednesday goals, then checked and he didn't actually manage one.

Loving the new manager bounce at Port Vale 

From 20th to 22nd in 3 games

That five and a half year contract must have them wondering if they will be in the National League North or South
