The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[YateleyRoyal]

Sky Sports 'understands' Gus Poyet has been sacked. Colour me

Why are you shocked?

Narrowly escaped relegation last season, sitting once place above the "zone" this season.....he's not a good manager

Don't think that's necessarily his fault - there are much bigger problems with the entire club.

Possibly just a teensy bit tongue in cheek?

[Pepe the Horseman]

I'm so fcuking aroused right now.

[Winston Smith]

Poyet's surname is actually pronounced 'poget' with the g sounding like how most British people pronounce the X at the start of (Barcelona's) Xavi.

True fact

[Mr Angry]

After a period of (relative) stability, our friends from the North are at it again!!!

Leeds United head coach Neil Redfearn said he is considering his position after assistant coach Steve Thompson was suspended.

Thompson joined Leeds from neighbours Huddersfield in December and, alongside Redfearn, has overseen the club losing just three league games this year.

"I've got to have a good think," Redfearn told BBC Radio Leeds.

"It seems like a strange decision and I would have liked to have known about it."

The Elland Road club released a statement on Thursday to say Thompson had been suspended and they would be making no further comment.

Redfearn added: "It is undermining because we are trying to put something together under the guise that you are getting the backing you need. It's disappointing.

"Steve understands the game and the division and the players have taken to him. The results have been there for everyone to see.

"I love this club and I've loved working with the players. Me and Steve have worked together well."

Redfearn, 49, was appointed as Leeds' third coach of the season on a 12-month rolling contract in November following the sackings of Dave Hockaday and Darko Milanic.

The former academy boss has won 10 of his 26 games in charge.

Leeds, who face Blackburn Rovers at home on Saturday, are currently 13th in the Championship.

Redfearn said Thompson's suspension could destabilise the team.

"I don't think it helps because Steve is part of the team and part of what we have been doing," he added.

"If you want to deflate something then you take things away from that team. I've got to make sure for the players and the supporters' sake that the lads will be as professional and focused as they have been all season."

Wigan sack Mackay with relegation almost a certainty now. Mackay was in charge for just 25 matches, winning just 4 - one of which was against... Reading.

Probably wants to add another relegation to his CV

[Mr Angry]

Paul Sturrock leaves a DoF role at Torquay after 4 days, in order to take over as Manager at Yeovil.

[Mr Angry]

Pelligrini can't have long left at Man City after today's result.

[AthleticoSpizz]

It's a guilty pleasure of mine, lolling at the sackings of managers by clubs sat in the top 6.

Just a bit disappointed with Chelsea this year

[Sutekh]

Pelligrini can't have long left at Man City after today's result.

Alex Sabella being hotly tipped to replace him apparently.

Skates have just sacked Andy Awford

[Royal Rother]

"...parted company by mutual consent..."

[AthleticoSpizz]

yes of course

[Mr Optimist]

Skates have just sacked Andy Awford

That is a shame. He was doing a cracking job, they are safe with four games to go too, harsh.

[Royal Rother]

You cynic, you!

[Mr Optimist]

You cynic, you!

Don't want to get all Snowball on you but it's true, progress has been made this season under Awford. They were far from safe this time last season when he save them from the drop. Baby steps.....
