Vincent Tan thinks we’re a big club. 
We’ve really rattled a few people these last few years. 
Sorry Vincent, we’re not a big club, never will be, and don’t want to be.
We’re Wigan Athletic, and we’ll hire who we want.
I see Paul Curran is not manager of ballymun Kickhams anymore, the club released a statement which was in the national media - honestly, who the fuck do these cunts think they are, fucking Real Madrid, releasing statements when a club manager steps down, a football club team from the gutters of dublin
Roy Keane has resigned as Aston Villa assistant manager.
Roy Queen resigned from Martin O Neil.
Odd one. They’re going nowhere and it looks like a miserable job but why take it in the first place?

Should this not be in an Assistant Managerial Merrygoround Thread ?
Some organizations allow assistant managers to sit in on manager meetings and carry out managerial tasks so I’m comfortable in allowing it to remain here.
At least that’ll give Liverpool fans something to talk about on Facebook.
Ian Barraclough is the new Motherwell manager
[QUOTE=“The Big Cheese, post: 1000667, member: 1137”][SIZE=6]Tony Pulis leaves Crystal Palace two days before start of new season[/SIZE]
• Manager unable to resolve differences with co-owner
• Keith Millen will take charge of team for trip to Arsenal
Crystal Palace’s preparations for the new season were thrown into chaos on Thursday night after Tony Pulis’s deteriorating relationship with the co-chairman, Steve Parish, left the club without a manager going into their opening match at Arsenal on Saturday.
Pulis’s departure after only ten months with the London club was described as “mutual consent” but well-placed sources have confirmed that mutual contempt would be a more fitting term because of the friction between the two men, stretching back to the turn of the year.
Pulis was contemplating whether he wanted to work for Parish as long ago as January, only two months after taking over from Ian Holloway on the run that saw Palace recover from a dire start to end the season in 11th position, recording their highest league finish since 1992.
Malky Mackay has been installed as the favourite to replace Pulis, not least because of his close relationship with Iain Moody, his former colleague at Cardiff City and now the sporting director at Selhurst Park.
Steve Clarke and Neil Lennon also feature prominently on the bookmakers’ list after a day of fast-moving events that has seen Palace’s relegation odds take a significant move in the wrong direction.
The announcement, and particularly its timing, certainly represents a grievous setback for the club bearing in mind their transformation since Pulis took charge when they were bottom of the division.
Pulis finished the season as the Premier League’s manager of the year, but the 56-year-old has become increasingly frustrated with the restrictions Parish has apparently put on him on the transfer market and what the former Stoke City manager considered as the co-chairman blurring the lines between their jobs.
The matter came to a head after it started to emerge that Pulis was considering his position and the two men agreed to a hastily arranged meeting after training on Thursday afternoon. Pulis had wanted more responsibility when it came to signing players and felt that he had been undermined too often.
After seven years at Stoke with a strong working relationship with the chairman, Peter Coates, he did not appreciate having a reduced role at his new club. He was also dissatisfied with Moody’s role and it quickly became apparent during his talks with Parish that the damage was irretrievable.
“Tony is a traditional manager who wants to run things on the football side,” a source told the Guardian. “It’s become an irritant … It’s a festering wound that has been there for a long time. After the season we had, the manager hoped the chairman would have thought: ‘Right I’ve got myself a good manager and now I need to back him’. It’s actually got worse not better. And now it’s been brought to a head.”
The announcement came on the same day that Crystal Palace confirmed the signing of Martin Kelly from Liverpool, their fourth new arrival of the summer after Fraizer Campbell’s £900,000 move from Cardiff City and the free transfers of Brede Hangeland and Chris Kettings, formerly of Fulham and Blackpool respectively.
Palace have been operating with a wage limit of around £40,000 a week and Pulis had been frustrated about missing out on other targets. Steven Caulker went from Cardiff to QPR while Gylfi Sigurdsson returned to Swansea City from Tottenham Hotspur.
On Parish’s part, his thinking is that Palace have to work with a reasonably tight financial budget and that he is entitled to play a hands-on role with the club he is financing. It is also believed he wanted to see more academy players being given a chance, whereas Pulis was looking to bring to more established and experienced players as he tried to maintain his record of having never been relegated.
Keith Millen, the assistant manager, will take charge for the Arsenal game while the other members of Pulis’s coaching staff, including Gerry Francis and long-time assistant Dave Kemp, have been asked to help him out before leaving their roles afterwards.[/QUOTE]
Tony Pulis, your time has come again.
Zeman and Warnock gone in a number of days, worst Christmas ever.
That’ll be the end of Warnock so, sad to see
Warnock is a spoofer
Alan Pardew to Crystal Palace seems to be happening.
Strange.
pardew the snake is going to palace, Newcastle was too big of a job for him anyway, santy brought me a half season ticket for palace, fuck it anyway
An upward step for him, makes complete sense.
Nice guy Steve Bruce tipped to replace Pardew. Or the Saint Etienne manager 
They’re saying de boer to Newcastle
A stepping stone to the Liverpool job.
