Awful manager, bye bye John!

Has he? Peter Taylor certainly has.

Yeah but he'll have been sacked because he's black. That was the reason he gave for not getting a chance a year or two ago (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7463038.stm).

"I believe the situation for black managers is like it was for black players back in the 1970s," he stated.
"Black players used to be put out on the wing because it was deemed they could run fast but not think too well.
"They weren't trusted to be a playmaker in central midfield or to wear the captain's armband.
"Now I think there is an analogous situation in management. Chairmen don't believe we can do the top managerial jobs.
"I look at someone like Luther Blissett, who is a former England international and has played abroad at the top level.
"He has been applying for manager's jobs in the Football League for 15 years and not got anywhere. This is all about opportunities."

I liked him as a player, didn't go much on him as a tv pundit, but thought he was well out of order playing the race card because he couldn't get a job as a manager. So next time you apply John boy, you'll not get a job because YOUR SHITE!

And they've put the physio in temporary charge

That's a relief . . . . . I thought you meant me!!

Can't believe they've taken until today to decide to get rid of the both of them. It doesn't help the teams preparations for their next League game. I thought he would have gone mid-week.

Scunthorpe didnt do too bad when they put their physio in charge infact he's still there...

Cant do any worst than Barnes and Mcateer to be fair

Wonder what James Haycock is like at football management

Didn't we put the commercial amanger in charge ... that worked out OK.

We did?

Maybe Mr Tax was thinking of "away in".
