Rooney sacked

It's great work if you can get it.

I reckon they’ll get John Eustace back.

 

[Drog]

Should sack the bloody owner too! I can't wait to see who they get next? How about Roy Kean? Perhaps Shhhteve Maclaren might be given a chance?

Next Birmingham City manager odds
Steve Cooper – 2/1

Tony Mowbray – 4/1

Jesse Marsch – 4/1

Gary Rowett – 13/2

John Eustace – 9/1

Lee Carsley – 12/1

Frank Lampard – 12/1

Paul Heckingbottom – 14/1

Hmm, 9/1

Lampard??? Stupid paper talk. How many times has he failed?

Once?

Chelsea and Everton springs to my mind. I must amit I did think that he would do well with Frank Sen and 'Arry' Redknapp on hand to guide him and bounce ideas off.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Chelsea had a transfer embargo at the time he was in charge in fairness. Everton have been a basket case for a while. He did ok at Derby

 

[Drog]

Well he did take the jobs didn't he?

Huddersfield Town sack Darren Moore. The word "struggling" was used in one of the headlines but it didn't feel like they were when we played them this season.

That's nearly as pathetic as when the Wendys sacked him despite getting them promoted. Look where they are now? I feel really sorry for Darren.

 

[Drog]

Just to be expected from new US owners. Moore will get another job I'm sure.
Maybe the septics have noticed that Rooney is available!

That would be hilarious.

Would cap off a good weekend for us if Millwall don't beat Coventry City today.

PNEs win tonight over boro makes it 3 wins on the bounce and takes them to 6th place. Saturday won't come quick enough for that lot. And to think just a few months ago they wanted shot of Ryan Lowe.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Don’t worry, they’ll never get to the Premier league. They’re cursed you know?

 

[Drog]

Seems Michael beales been sacked by Sunderland after just 12 matches!

And by a strange quirk of fate Tony Mowbray is taking time off from brum because of ill health. I saw him interviewed a month or so ago and I thought back then that he looked poorly. He had a dreadful pallor about him.

 

[Drog]

Seems my amateur medical observations were accurate. Tony Mowbray now replaced temporarily until the start of next season by Gary Rowett. Must be pretty serious.
Get well soon Tony.

Bloody great match between Ipswich and Southampton tonight. Southampton the team with more quality but they lost out to Ipswich's never say die attitude with a goal with the last kick of the game. A great advert for the Championship.... why anyone want's promotion out of it is beyond me.

That Man City Arsenal Premier league game of the season was pure dross by all accounts. Even worse than when boring boring Arsenal were at their worst.

In other news. Nob End have turned into us.

Just X points off the play-offs nose-bleeders.
