Phil Brown gets the boot at Hull, last ditch attempt to stay up, wonder who's in the running? Is this the same Steve Parkin who was manager of Mansfield and Rochdale?
"Assistant boss Brian Horton and Steve Parkin will take charge.."

It's not a wrong move really. He's done alright but I've always thought he's an apalling manager and there's only two places they were going with him; the Championship and administration!
There was Jimmy Bullard and Nick Barmby getting into a bit of bother last week, and then there are now rumours that their most gifted youngster they've produced in a long time refuses to speak to him and he had to be told he wasn't playing at the weekend by a coach. I don't think he'd have been placed on gardening leave if there wasn't any truth to the rumour.
Considering the money he's spent? He's crippled them with their wage bill buying average players and paying them far more than they're worth. Their wage bill is in the top 10 highest in the Premiership. I'm not sure how given that most of their players are garbage.

He's spent a year and a half living off a 9-game spell Hull had when they started in the Premier League. They've done absolutely nothing since then.
They only survived last season because Newcastle, Boro and West Brom were all slightly worse. After the way they finished last season, this season was always going to be a struggle.
An announcement is due on Wednesday so they clearly have someone lined up...

Iain Dowie in at Hull.
Dowie is a manager whose reputation rests solely on a strong 20-odd game run while at Palace. Everywhere else he either hasn't stayed in place for long enough to judge, or his performance is decidedly average.
For Dowie, it is a no-lose situation. If they go down, then what chance did he have anyway ? If they stay up, then he takes the credit, and engineers a falling-out with the chairman around November 2010, and thus escapes with a big pay-off before Hull sink into financial and league table oblivion.
For Hull, it simply demonstrates their desperation and short-termism. I hope they join Pompey in the Championship.

Gary Johnson gone at Bristol City Why ? He worked miracles there. Yet another Board of Directors getting ideas above their station.

He did a great job there but he's probably taken them as far as he can and there are rumours of dressing room unrest...

there are rumours of dressing room unrest... Aren't there always when a manager gets fired ? This is often a case of the Board shirking responsibility for its actions, and leaking comments to the media. If there really is dressing room unrest, then the captain should be fired first. We know there is dressing room unrest at Manchester United and Arsenal from time to time, and the troublemakers get moved on sharpish, not the manager.

He's meant to have had a bust up with a player after they lost in midweek and thats the reason he's gone. It was reported in the paper yesterday that he was going to have a meeting etc etc, so it wasn't exactly a surprise to hear he'd gone this morning. And as for Hull, like Mark said Brown has clearly gone not because of results after being put on gardening leave (which apparently runs until the end of next season unless he gets another job in the meantime!) He's already been linked with Bristol City, wrong timing though to sack him now, won't shed any tears if Hull go down and wouldn't exactly be gutted to see Hunt down in the Championship again either. Though i'm sure he would be one of the first to leave if they went down.

Something of a surprise, considering it was an impossible job to keep them up and he was building a decent squad for the Conference next season.
Looks like yesterday's record low attendance was a key factor.

Not a casualty, but surely talk of Martin O'Neill's job security are premature? If they get three more wins (from six games left), they'll have their best league record since 1997. With teams above them having tough fixtures, they still have a decent chance of Champions League football next season. They've reached the semi-finals of the FA cup for the first time since 2000 (when they lost to Chelsea in the final), and the final of the League Cup for the first time since 1996, while presumably securing european qualification for only the third time in 10 years.

O'Neill himself seems to be the one raising doubts. Perhaps he's planning one of those "I've taken them as far as I can" resignations. Or maybe he thinks there'll be a vacancy at Old Trafford or Anfield in the summer.

Jim Gannon will become casualty #38 tomorrow, leaving us just one short of last season's total of 39.
Gannon was originally going to leave Peterborough at the end of the season, having turned down a long-term deal but the club have apparently managed to secure Gary Johnson who will be unveiled tomorrow.

The sackings of Ian Hendon and Paul Simpson this week bring the number of managerial changes for the season to 40.
