The silver medal in this race goes to Andy Bishop, sacked by Southport this evening following today's defeat. It's come earlier than I expected.

You forgot that Guiseley have already joined Eastleigh in sacking their boss

Correction accepted.

So we're not even second best in the sack race? Brilliant!

Big task for whoever goes there.

2nd time I've heard that in 3 days, they really do have a reputation don't they?

Swedes will echo what I'm saying. Seriously, they're worse than usual. They've got a few loanees in, a couple from us, that might help, but it's likely to go to the wire for them unless they get an absurdly good manager in. And even then...

BREAKING NEWS: Altrincham football club is delighted to announce the appointment of Jim Harvey as manager.

Apparently Jay Saunders, Gary Hill, John Still & Shitehawks manager were all at Ebbsfleet last night. Considering their manager is likely to be fired shortly its rather interesting.

John Still in scouting mission shocker.

 

[Swedes]

In an unusual move, our former manager Liam Watson has returned to the club in the role of Operations Director (whatever one of them is).

FYI an operations director is someone who directs operations...

Seriously though I find it an interesting move. It's good to be reminded that the conference can be a strange place as it's where full time and part time football meet. A manager of a small part time club picks up a lot of the necessary admin tasks that can be left to others in larger or full time clubs.

The implication would be Watson was good at that side of things, and the new manager won't be asked to do this stuff - whoever it is.

Managers scouting at a fairly local club when their team isn't playing shocker.

Seen all sorts of managers coming to our games, from the likes of Steve King to David Moyes. Doesn't mean we're about to appoint any of them.

That being said I wouldn't be surprised if either Garry or Richard Hill were on the shortlist if that job becomes available. Pennock would probably throw his hat in too.

Interesting..

Burr to Southport.

Yeeeesssssss! Burry is back, Burry is back, hello, HELLO

 

[Swedes]

I'm not sure what to make of the Burr appointment. There was a time when I would have loved him as our manager, but things seemed to turn sour for him at both Kidderminster and Chester, which makes me suspicious that he's lost his touch. He's apparently good mates with Watson though, and who knows, maybe it'll work with Watson doing most of the scouting and community liaison work and Burr sticking to managing. Time will tell.

We were 3rd when we sacked him. The only thing that went sour was our dodgy ex-chairman's view of him. We'd hit a small slump in form, but it was still a baffling decision to get rid at the time. Didn't work out at Chester for whatever reason but I can't believe he's suddenly become a bad manager.

 

[CrazyImp]

Burr will keep Southport up. Just.

Story of their lives.

 

[Luke Imp]

You have a defence like a sieve, so who do you bring in? The King of few clean sheets.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Southport will still perform their usual mid season survival trick, don't think in their position they could attract any better than Burr.
