    I went to go look on their board, to see what the reaction was.

    I clicked on "Premier League"

    They weren't there <laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh>

    They are just jealous of us. Trying to beat the number of managers we had during MMs reign. Gotta say they are succeeding.

    To be fair, its an unusual situation and the Billy Mckinkley thing is harsh but slightly understandable, in that something turned up a few days later that the owners thought would be beneficial to the club. Its not like they sacked the previous two managers. All you can really accuse the board of is appointing Billy too quickly. Its a rather unique situation I think and doesnt deserve to be bracketed in the managerial circus that often gets attributed to these situations

    I understand what you're saying, but once you commit to someone that should be it, unless their performance warrants dismissal. Think of this is the real world. Imagine you got a job and eight days later someone your boss preferred walked out of his position, so they sacked you and got him. It just wouldn't happen. They can get away with it in football - because of the money sloshing around, they don't mind paying the compensation and fines that regular businesses couldn't afford - but it doesn't make it right.

    Lloyd Dyer only had 3 managers in 5 years here albeit Nigel Pearson was in charge twice

    At Watford he is on his 4th manager already


    I got a lot of respect for Billy McKinlay for what he did for us in our hour of need

    Makes Manadric look tame in comparison, it wouldn't have gone past Garcia if he was able to continue.
