Bristol City have sacked Dean Holden after 6 straight defeats.
Another example of changing the manager not working out.
Poor Nahki, he should have stayed at QPR!
It looks as though the early success at Bristol City could not be maintained. You have to see it from the club's point of view - they cannot expect supporters or directors to maintain interest in a club on a downward spiral. It is wrong but careers in professional football are based upon your latest results and, perversely, past abilities will get Dean Holden back in a job!
Indeed, in the modern game back to back wins or back to back defeats change everything. It is literally that quick how things can go in one direction or the other.
Look at Warburton - we were 10 without a win and it was heading towards a majority of fans wanting him gone. Then we win 4 out of 5 and everything is forgotten!
But if we lose tonight and against Bournemouth the wolves will be out again. I don't envy any manager these days.

I'm putting this here because they will be playing us next season...
Sheffield United are sacking Chris Wilder.
This is just bonkers. He achieved incredible things last season when they were favourites to go down. If anything they've lasted a season longer in the top flight than anybody expected.
Surely Wilder would be the man they'd want in charge to come back up next season?

Sheffield United without Wilder worry me a lot less than SUFC with him. They'll be under a lot of pressure to back up next season, and a lot of teams can't seem to do it. They'll be a good strong team next season, but not as strong as they would've been if they still had him.

Let's have continuity and stability.
Warburton is now already the 20th longest serving manager out of 72 in the football league. Which is crazy when he still feels relatively new to the job.
Alex Neil sacked by Preston who are currently 16th with 44 points. In previous seasons he had taken Preston to 7th, 14th and 9th.
I would love to know the thinking behind the decision to sack him. Was it social media pressure? Was it the Board seeing a drop in the league as terminal? Was it perhaps that the Board has someone already in mind whom they believe can do better (Wilder?)?

I don't think Wilder would go to Preston because like Eddie Howe he will be holding out for a team with lots of money or one that can challenge for trophies.
Either Howe or Wilder will set their sights on winning things and almost certainly end up at somewhere like Celtic where they contest a two team league.

Funny you should mention Celtic stoatey because I noted at the weekend that Rafa Benitez has suddenly expressed his desire to get back into top-flight football management in the UK. Could just be coincidence but that would pit him against Gerrard!
