Pack your bags Roy

Hows about a manager swap with Chelsea?

They'll be well up for Smashing us for 6 or more.

And you so know they'll turn up, if only for one match this season, against us, the wounded, half-eaten, dried out pickle.

Well, I don't know if that's justified but I suppose time will tell. It could just be that they want someone in place to take over immediately (if only temporarily) and that might be why it might not happen this week. As I say though, I now firmly believe it should be done tomorrow.

I agree that was their strategy but results and performances have been so poor that they're going to have act sooner than May.

Otherwise we really could find ourselves in a relegation battle because one thing is for sure is that we are unlikely to get any points away from home with Roy still in charge meaning that all remaining points we are going to get this season will come from home games and we're not going to win all of those

Has a Manager Of Year ever been sacked in the year following his award?

Not sure they want to have spent 300million on a championship team......

Hopefully they realize the danger soon and act on it...

It is difficult to say and to be fair they have their hands full. They have been very active in the baseball pre-season here in the US. I am fairly confident they are working very hard trying to improve all aspects of the club - developing a marketing and commercial strategy, executive structure, and the stadium issue, etc. etc . I am hoping that in the middle of all this they dont take their eyes off what is happening on the pitch.

We are in a relegation battle. 5 points of the bottom in January.

Good shout.

I can't believe they would but I suppose we'll see.

It's the curse of the LMA Award.

I'm living in hope on our games in hand, like... Blackpool away... ****...

Wiki

Ipswich TownBurley was appointed manager at his former club, with Dale Roberts as his assistant, having had talks with Town without Colchester knowing and so compensation was duly paid.[citation needed] During an eight-year reign he took Ipswich to three play-offs and finally won promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs at Wembley beating Barnsley 4–2. The following season he guided the club to fifth place and qualification for the UEFA Cup. This earned him the 2000–01 Manager of the Year award. Relegation the following season saw Burley's side struggling at the foot of Football League First Division and his contract was terminated by mutual agreement in 2002.

not sure if it counts

Yes, it's impossible to argue otherwise.

He was actually sacked in 2001 but he was so pissed he didn't realise it for a year.

[Needles]

Is he gone yet?
