My work colleagues in the Birmingham based office are telling me that Monk is also on Southamptons radar…amazing if true.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Sam Ricketts appointed Shrewsbury manager.

 

[grutter]

Southampton have sacked Mark Hughes.

Come back 'Arry!!

Wally Downes to AFW Wimbledon!

 

[TW3Bee]

Wally Downes to AFW Wimbledon!

As if they aren't in enough trouble.

 

[Judio1999]

What is it with Wimbledon

Is it now a closed shop

We won't let you be our boss

Unless you have played for us

League Two

Here they come

Would love this as it could well derail their progress.

When did Wally Downes play for AFC Wimbledon?

 

[hatfieldbee]

When did Wally Downes play for AFC Wimbledon?

Crazy gang era.

 

[jlove]

Crazy gang era.

That was Wimbledon FC...

 

[Gee Bee]

Played for them as a youngster

 

[wibs]

Top marks for pedantry

 

[Gee Bee]

Wally Downes to AFW Wimbledon!

Interesting that hes apologised about some of his tweets, which are not his real views! Even though he has been pretty consistent with them for years?

 

[Judio1999]

That was Wimbledon FC...

Which is same club as AFC Wimbledon if you are a supporter

 

[Bill Benn]

Reading sack Clement

 

[Nottsbee]

Reading sack Clement

A well-deserved sacking given their results and their disgracefully cynical performance at GP in September.

 

[kevalutonbee]

Wasn't Clement highly regarded at Real Madrid and routed as the next bright hope for British coaches?

Is that two or three jobs he has been fired from now?

 

[Stanley]

Very rated as a number two but one of those who can't seem to make it as a number one.

Bugger. I was looking forward to him taking them down to League one :very angry:

Three, and all after less than a year. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46467268

 

[TW3Bee]

If you keep sacking managers soon the penny will drop that it's actually the team that is sh*t.

 

[Invipai]

One of those 'it was a matter of time' sackings. Reading don't have a great squad, but he has had a couple of gigs based on the reputation of working at bigger clubs, his next job may be yet another step down. Reading will struggle either way though...

 

[Hungerford Bee]

. Reading will struggle either way though...

Good!

 

[Gee Bee]

Reading sack Clement

Scott Marshall likely to take temporary charge

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Would love someone like clement to join the coaching team. New assistant?

 

[Wise old Bee]

Reading will appoint a new coach from mainland Europe who I will never have heard of. Strange how Reading have struggled since reaching the POs last year.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Hasnt surprised me at all. I thought they were distinctly average last season.

 

[TW3Bee]

No one could understand how they made the play offs that year.

They were woeful.

 

[Shirley Bee]

Not at GP they weren’t.

 

[Owlsmoor_Bee]

No one could understand how they made the play offs that year.

They were woeful.

Least of all their own fans. My Reading supporting friend’s thought it was a modern day miracle and predicted this season’s struggles.

 

[sonofabee]

Not at GP they weren’t.

Really?

 

[TW3Bee]

Really?

4-0 wasn't it?

 

[sonofabee]

4-0 wasn't it?

That’s what I thought, Swift got a couple?

 

[Humblebee]

Richard Money appointed manager of Hartlepool.

 

[GP200]

Richard Money appointed manager of Hartlepool.

............will he take his ball..............

 

[SpiderBee]

Darrell Clarke gone at Bristol Rovers

 

[RodBee]

Darrell Clarke gone at Bristol Rovers

Shame he was doing a really good job there!!!!

 

[TW3Bee]

Darrell Clarke gone at Bristol Rovers

That is a club that should be doing a lot better than it has been.

 

[Ealing Bee]

That is a club that should be doing a lot better than it has been.

I have nothing for or against Rovers, but they seem to me to be one of those clubs that people tend to rate more highly than they deserve:

"Rovers were admitted to the Football League in 1920 and have played there ever since, apart from spending the 2014–15 season in the Conference Premier. They came close to losing their league status in 1939, when they were re-elected after finishing bottom of Division Three (South), and in 2002 when the team finished one league position away from relegation to the Football Conference. Their highest finishing positions were in 1956 and 1959, on both occasions ending the season in 6th place in Division Two, then the second tier of English football."

No offence, but they're not all that...

Even so, if Bristol city could get to the top division, Rovers could have done so as well: for many years the two clubs weren't all that different is potential size.

I think City have always been a much bigger club than Rovers.

Having read that you are correct, still they get great support, probably helps that they only really have Bristol City as competition.

 

[TW3Bee]

Most definitely

 

[TW3Bee]

Is that the ex managers son that plays for them.

 

[Gee Bee]

Jose gone

 

[wanderer paul]

Thought Man Utd would’ve waited for the Summer?!!

Who’s next? Zidane?!
