Stockport sack Palmer

Stockport County have sacked manager Carlton Palmer after their poor start to the season.
The Hatters are languishing in 21st position in the Division Two table after picking up only six points from their opening eight matches.

Former England international midfielder Palmer had been in charge at Edgeley Park since November 2001 but won just 25 of his 92 matches at the helm, losing 50 of them.

Director of football John Hollins has been put in charge for the home clash with Blackpool on Saturday.

iT'S NOT LIKE HE HASN'T HAD LONG ENOUGH. tHEY'RE BEEN PONY FOR YEARS NOW.

B@stard caps lock - I'm not writing that again.

I hope Palmer doesn't start saying this is because he's black, like Ian Wright's rather ludicrous comments earlier this week about why he didn't go into management. Palmer - as I'm sure Wright would have been - is a shite manager, with (again, uncannily similar) a hugely over-inflated idea of his own worth.

It's a sad day as Stockport with Palmer at the helm have provided some quality entertainment, and he is possibly the only manager who sounds more bored/depressed/suicidal than Coppell in interviews.

The office photocopier is working overtime so that I can send out Fry's CV to potential employers - I live in hope rather than expectation.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

I'm sure he won't, he just has to look at his record to know he's tosh.

Posh tosh?

Bog off.
It's bad enough for us already. CP up to now and now fin Lou Macari and Bryan Robson have expressed interest.

Please NO.

Dowie, pretty please

Sorry, got the quote wrong originally.

It took them long enough to realise he is a shit manager

Here's my favourite Carlton Palmer story (after they'd just been beaten by Carlisle United, who at the time were managed by Roddy Collins, the brother of the Irish boxer Steve Collins)

Carlton calls his players in early for training the following morning and tries to give them a bollocking. "Why did we lose last night?" he bellowed. "We lost because Carlisle showed more passion then we did. Why was that? Because they've got a passionate manager! Who's their manager? Roddy Collins. Who's their manager's brother? Barry McGuigan!"

The whole team tried to supress their giggles and he tells them to f**k off out of the dressing room...

The man's an eejit. I'm glad he's unemployed.
