[Marked Ox]

Bournemouth have sacked Gary O'Neil which appears very harsh considering he kept them up.

Unbelievable. Bournemouth are a tiny club, backed by a rich owner, they’re never going to become an established top half club.
Gary O’Neil got them to 15th. I hope they go down. Twats.

When I saw the breaking news alert I was very surpised!

They must have seen someone better at the disco

So this is where KR is going!

They must have someone ready to appoint.

Unless there was something behind the scenes?

Darren Moore has just left Sheffield Wednesday! Even more random!

 

[Victor1986]

I just do not believe Darren Moore's departure .."is by mutual consent". It will take him a long time to forget the dreadful things posted about him after the first leg defeat at Peterborough.

"It's been a privilege to work with Dunc these last few months and this was a very difficult decision to make," said Forest Green owner Dale Vince.

Sounds like a sacking to me.
Not a great surprise either, he did nothing to improve them during his time in charge

5 year contract terminated after 6 months following 1 win in 18.

If that isn’t a sacking, I don’t know what is.

Weird timing as well, you'd think they'd have done this earlier in pre-season.

I wonder what protections big Dunc had in his contract - maybe he'll get all the remaining monies like someone else recently..........I think Dale Vince is a bit too savvy for that though.

No doubt a settlement agreement that works well for both parties, and he probably still earned very well out of it for his 6 month tenure.

They want a more well known manager.

The opening post on this thread was about Bournemouth sacking O'Neil. It looked bonkers at the time and still does.
