They’ve had 90 managers in the last 100 years.

Roy Hodgson was one of them (for 17 matches apparently).

Is Jesse Marsch the new Big Sam?

[Baddar]

Not happening now. Wasn't he close to the Southampton(?) job not too long ago as well? Think he wanted a longer contract than what they were offering then.

Southampton fell through because he wanted a multi-year contract, rather than a firefighting end of the season deal. Probably the same here.

Dean Smith is the latest name linked.

It'll be Chris Wilder next. Jesus christ.

Fab mentioned Benitez, but Smith in the last 20mins or so via Ornstein.

Isn't he at Watford now or did they already sack him?

Yeah he's at Watford, but if he lasts to the end of the season it'd be a genuine surprise.

Dean Smith’s legitimately a great manager. Was one of the first managers to get the Brentford ball rolling, got Villa promoted with 10 wins in our last 10 games to get into the playoffs, kept a pretty shit Villa up, then provided a platform that Unai Emery is now building on from (ignoring the Gerrard detour) - worth remembering that Smith brought Ollie Watkins from Exeter to Brentford, and then to Villa, and look at him now. Leicester would be lucky to have him.

Fresh from keeping Norwich in the Championship, Dean Smith has arrived to take Leicester down. His sabotage of east midlands football continues.

*begins.

Norwich is most definitely not in the East Midlands.

[The Lusophone]

It's in the east of the middle bit.

[9 to 5]

It's really not.

[Naitch]

We're very much East of England!

I once had to explain to a uni flatmate from Lewes that I wasn't a "northerner". She was a very sheltered individual...

Clearly! Or at least shite at Geography!

Reading have sacked Paul Ince. It's amazing how many jobs he's had off the back of one decent season at MK Dons.

If you’re from the south anyone north of the Watford Gap is northern.
