Is MON the final casualty of 2009/10, then, or is he just a 'close season casualty'?

close season id say.

[Panda]

Close season, obviously, but I didn't bother keeping track of those this year.

Chris Turner becomes the third managerial casualty of the season...

Alan Pardew is the next somewhat surprising sacking...

Well, what would you expect after only winning 4-0 away from home ?

I fear for the club again. Following the sad death of Markus Liebherr (the owner) a few weeks ago, this decision suggests that his successors don't know the first thing about football.

I was delighted by the club's 3-0 home defeat to Swindon last night - 36 hours after Pardew's dismissal. I'd like to think that the team was inept as a tribute to the outgoing manager. When a decent, popular coach gets fired, I find it a shame if the team immediately embarks on a winning run.

[Shireblogger]

When the manager and the coaching staff get fired at the same time, its usually an indicator that a new manager with his own team has already been lined up.

So, 3 days on, where are Southampton ?

And here's an extract from the Board's statement about Pardew's dismissal. "...we are taking these steps, which we share with all supporters, to...secure long term stability and progress for our football operations."

How dare they assume they speak for all supporters ?

How many supporters that you know, refer to their club as a "football operation" ?

How on earth do they think that changing manager for the 13th time since January 2000 will bring stability to the club ?

[Tom]

Ridiculous decision to sack Pardew. We were mid-table in October the season he took us to automatic promotion from the 2nd Division (now League 1). This is August, and they've got a game in hand as well, apart from winning the last game emphatically! I just don't think they ever really liked him, and if thats the case then he should have gone in the summer when they dillied and dallied about whether or not to keep him.

[suedehead]

John Toshack has resigned as manager of Wales. Chris Coleman is one of the names being mentioned as a possible successor.

[Shireblogger]

Southampton have withdrawn their job offer to Nigel Adkins. Apparently this was because he refused to resign from Scunthorpe before all terms were agreed.

How stupid is the Southampton chief executive ? Would you resign from your current job and burn your bridges, in the hope that your new employer makes you a decent offer ?

While I respect what Adkins has done at Scunthorpe, is he really more talented than Pardew ?

So, Southampton's next new manager will be second choice to Nigel Adkins.

[suedehead]

There was a piece about Southampton in the Guardian earlier this week. The clear implication is that the late owner wanted to keep Pardew so he stayed. After the owner died the balance of power changed.

Southampton have now said that's untrue. Nigel Adkins has done very well indeed at Scunthorpe. Getting them promoted and keeping them in the Championship - a fantastic acheivement.

Gerard Houllier is now Villa boss, will be interesting to see how he does. First game is at Stoke, but not until Monday night, so he has some time to get to know his players.

If they keep Kevin MacDonald as coach, they'll do quite well - 7th is my prediction.

MacDonald has said he wants to revert to reserve team coach having turned down the chance of being Houllier's No 2. Patrice Bergues (Houllier's assistant when he was at Lyon) also turned down the No 2 job for "personal reasons" and Phil Thompson wants to continue with his media work.

Oh, and Houllier won't be starting on Monday, it won't be for a few weeks. It may not even be for 3 months if he has serve notice by the French Football Federation. If that happens Villa may as well scrap this season and plan for next season, imo.

Southampton have tonight appointed Adkins as manager.

[Panda]

Chris Sutton has left Lincoln City for personal reasons.

[Panda]

Leicester have sacked Paulo Sousa.

[Robin]

Ridiculous decision, but then Mandaric is notorious for it! Didn't he get through 4 managers in one season at Leicester a few years ago!
