    Seems strange unless they'd bankrolled him beyond the normal resources of the club like Bury did.

    Including the play offs it's 1 win in 7 and 3 wins in 13. They were on course for automatic promotion with ease and totally blew it. I imagine he's been backed massively like he was with both us (getting training paid for away from Oakwell when we've perfectly good facilities at the ground) and Bury (how many times as Gigg Lane been remortgaged to gamble on promotion these past few years?) so it looks the right decision.

    They had. It was al or nothing and they’ve failed.

    Not a surprise to read this tweet and that they have already appointed a cheap option replacement, so after a few years of chasing promotion are probably looking at budget cuts now.......

    Sadly it seems inevitable in the today's game. Some Clubs set targets before the season starts and if
    the Manager / Coach doesnt deliver, the outcome is usually inevitable. The Chelsea boss seems
    to be pushing his case in a bid to stay at Stamford Bridge, by pointing out that as a minimum,he was
    told when the season started, that he had to deliver European Champions League qualification.

    He's done that, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least , that when it's confirmed that Hazard is leaving to join Real
    Madrid, Chelsea also announce that Sarri will is also be leaving.

    Sarri always seems to be the hardest word.

    I genuinely thought Flitcroft was going to be a forking outstanding manager.

    I hate the modern way and hope Mansfield live to regret it.
    I like Flicker and will always remember him for the great escape.
    It surprises and saddens me that others appear to take pleasure in his sacking. I wish him well and a swift return to work.

    Fir coat sounds very abrasive
