Utterly disposable, Brian Laws and Darren Ferguson binned today.

 

16 out of 90 odd clubs binned their manager this season! McGhee has a wikipedia record, got to be in with a shout to get sacked too?

That's because they're a bunch of stupid twats. I think McLeish will be their best appointment since MoN.

I can't say I blame them and I'm not convinced about him either. He'll certainly be given plenty of money so we'll see.

 

Would you be happy to have Sally McCoist as Dons manager? No, don't think so.

That would probably be the end of me if that happened.  He's not my favourite person in the world, it has to be said.

 

The cheating cunt.

McCoist seems to be Rangers through and through though, he was a player for so long and then assistant manager for a few years now, he is one of those people who seem to represent Rangers. Wouldn't say that McLeish does that with Birmingham. Never played for them, only manager of them for a couple of years (or was it 3? Not that long either way). McCleish certainly isn't to Birmingham what McCoist is to Rangers.

No I wouldn't but McLeish has been at Birmingham for just a few years and nae his whole career like McCoist has been at Hungers.

 

Remember how McLeish left Birmingham. He left in apparently a fairly disrespectful way and joined their close rivals. Villa fans should look at it in a different light.

Le Guen would be a better comparison.

Chelsea are set to recruit the Porto manager André Villas-Boas, according to reports in Portugal, and the coach has accepted the offer to work in London.

 

Villas-Boas will earn €5m (£4.4m) a season, the exact salary José Mourinho earned at the west London club, according to Jornal de Notícias. Chelsea will also pay the €15m (£13.2m) release clause in the manager's contract. Maisfutebol reported on Monday that Porto are just waiting for Chelsea to deposit the €15m before officially announcing the departure of their manager.

 

However, in a statement to the Portuguese Securites Market Commission on Monday lunchtime, Porto said that they have not received an offer which meets the release clause. Chelsea made no comment on the situation on Monday morning.

 

Villas-Boas has already informed Porto of his decision to leave for the English club, a source linked to the process told the Agência.

 

On Sunday the Porto president Pinto da Costa said "if a club pay the €15m and if he wants to leave, FC Porto can't do anything about it".

 

Apparently, Villas-Boas is now willing to leave the "dream job" (a reference to how Da Costa described his position at Porto) to re-join the club where he worked with Mourinho.

 

Villas-Boas led Porto to the domestic double and Europa League success last term and Chelsea are looking to fill the vacancy created by the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti.

 

Chelsea's owner, Roman Abramovich, may leave €45m in the coffers at Porto's Dragão stadium in total, moreover. According to A Bola, he also wants to take the Colombian forward Falcao to London as a sweetener for Villas-Boas's signature.

 

Chelsea have also been in negotiations with Guus Hiddink about returning to the club he briefly managed in 2009. Chelsea have been considering the Dutchman for either the coach's job or the sporting director role – should he take on the latter then there would also be room for Villas-Boas to take a position at the club.

 

However, his agent, Cees van Nieuwenhuizen, felt the Dutchman would be wary of taking the director of football role. "One hundred per cent we have never discussed that, and I know Guus has not given it a thought for one second. He has a tough enough challenge trying to qualify Turkey for the Euros. And if he does that then he will be going to the finals next year. And if he doesn't then it will probably end with Turkey in November."

Ooft.  Wenger's last game?

No.

Eriksson sacked by Leicester city.

Steve Bruce sacked.

Steve Bruce sacked.

 

I feel bad for him, not his fault the club chose to get rid of all their strikers! Not surprised by it at all though.

O'Neill & Hughes looking like the favourites.

 

JC not a popular choice with my Mackem mate though

Looks like O'Neill is taking it:

Hope they're prepared to spend a lot. Some of it on Heskey.

Has O'Neill ever explained why he left Villa? Seem to remember there was some strange circumstances.

Fell out with the chairman regarding their plans did he not? Although, again, that was all conjecture.

Apparently threw the toys oot when he was asked to trim the wage budget, which was at something like 80-85% of turnover.

Sunderland must have money to spend from the sale of Bent (which incidentally seems to have been the catalyst for Bruce's demise)?

New Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill has added Hibernian's head of performance Jim Henry to his staff.

 

O'Neill was appointed as successor to Steve Bruce at the Premier League club at the weekend.

 

"Hibernian can confirm head of performance Jim Henry has left the club," they said in a statement.

 

"He joins Martin O'Neill's new backroom team at Sunderland with immediate effect. The club would like to thank Jim for his contribution."

 

A former Scottish judo international, Henry worked with O'Neill at Celtic and Aston Villa before joining Hibernian in November 2010.

 

O'Neill took over team affairs at the Stadium of Light on Monday, having watched Sunday's 2-1 Premier League defeat by Wolves at Molineux from the stands.

 

The 59-year-old will be in charge for Sunday's match against fellow strugglers Blackburn.

 

Sunderland are 17th in the Premier League, one point off the relegation places, having won only twice this season.

 

O'Neill has already appointed Steve Walford as his first-team coach and Seamus McDonagh as goalkeeping coach. They replace Eric Black and Nigel Spink from Bruce's backroom team.
