Steve Coppell Leaves Bristol City. Wait, What?

by Rob McCluskey on August 12, 2010 · 4 comments

Well while many Bris­tol City fans felt that they had one of their best squads in years a few weeks ago, Steve Cop­pell has damp­ened hopes of pro­mo­tion slightly by announc­ing his res­ig­na­tion today after only two com­pet­i­tive games in charge. Cop­pell claims, in his state­ment, that he has failed to become pas­sion­ate about managing […]

by Rob McCluskey on January 6, 2010 · 0 comments

I remem­ber when the Jan­u­ary trans­fer win­dow first came to foot­ball. For­give me if I can’t remem­ber the exact year but I remem­ber FIFA decided that it was a good idea to help all the small clubs hold onto their top play­ers for larger parts of a sea­son. Nobody could have pre­dicted the level of […]

If you don’t know already, Dar­ren Fer­gu­son has took the vacant man­age­r­ial posi­tion at Pre­ston North End after Alan Irvine was sacked after a poor run of results.

Unless your team was unfor­tu­nate enough to be struck by bad weather (par­tic­u­larly Barns­ley), you may realise we are now at the halfway point of the Cham­pi­onship sea­son. 23 games gone and all of sud­den ambi­tions become a bit clearer for clubs. The cham­pi­onship can be one of the most excit­ing leagues in the world […]

Apolo­gies for a lack of updates lately, with the amount of work I’ve been doing lately my life mir­rors the ‘con­gested hol­i­day fix­ture list’! Unfor­tu­nately this week­end we have once again dis­cov­ered that the UK is the only coun­try more effi­cient in a world war than being in a snow ‘storm’. Early sea­son pro­mo­tion favourites […]

Even though Peter­bor­ough are cur­rently remain­ing silent on reports while I write this, the man who lead the Posh from the bot­tom divi­sion of the foot­ball league to the Cham­pi­onship has appar­ently been relieved of his duties. Chair­man Dar­ragh MacAn­thony appears to have taken the deci­sion after Peterborough’s poor start to the sea­son; the Posh […]

After win­ning 2–0 on Tues­day night, Gareth South­gate was relieved of his duties as man­ager hours after the game. Despite being quite a pop­u­lar player for the club, South­gate could never quite get the same level of sup­port in his time as man­ager; despite a num­ber of hard­ships being put on him such as the […]
