Manager merry-go-round

Well, well, well, big Sam has left by "mutual agreement" from Newcastle. That phrase always makes me laugh. I imagine the conversation went something like this:
Newcastle board: time you went Sam. Clear your desk eh son?
Sam: er, okay.

I have to say it seems rather farcical to sack a manager when your side is on the brink of the top 10 but expectations are high on Tyneside.

It now means that of the 10 bottom sides in the Premier League only three have the same manager today as they had at the start of the season: Reading (13th), Middlesbrough (15th) and Sunderland (18th)...Spurs, Bolton, Birmingham, Wigan, Derby, us and now Newcastle have all made changes.

Time will tell if this proves to be the filip they're looking for but it's a mad world in which we live isn't it?
