Same caretaker that's been sacked manager's assistant at thatWhat I don't understand is, in their statement, they claim they made the move so they don't fall any further behind. Ok, understood.
So what's your plan? Appoint a caretaker until the end of the season. Right.
“He is an exceptional coach who has a reputation within the game for being among the very best at bringing through young players, as his record at Manchester United shows. But more than that, he has a winning mentality which transmits to his players and he has achieved great success in his time at United. It’s the perfect combination. Warren has had several high-profile opportunities but wants to move back into management and it is a measure of how highly we rate him that we are making such a long-term commitment.”
"It is unfortunate that we have made this decision but with the team in such a perilous position in the league, we need to act now because we cannot afford to fall any further behind. Results and performances have simply not been up to standard often enough in recent matches. Although we acknowledge the difficulties faced in managing a team in a league where we are competing against clubs with much larger budgets, the nature of some of our recent defeats, especially against close rivals, has fallen short in terms of what we as a club, and all our supporters, expect."

Amazing how these Chairmen and directors never seem accountable for the series of duff decisions they make that lands their clubs in the cart in the first place.
It seems madness to go to such trouble to bring Joyce in and sack him after four months. If you're a coach with a cushy number you should think long and hard before stepping into management.
If you remember after FOUR months of Chris Hughton being manager of the Albion a LOT of DULLARDS on here were WANTING him SACKED after the miserable run of form at the end of the season. Just shows what happens if you STICK with a manager and a LONG term PLAN
