    Just heard that Stockport County have parted company with manager Jim Gannon.
    I'm genuinely shocked.

        A very strange decision, but then what managerial decision isn’t from some angle?

          " Based around culture" apparently.

          Hope you can find a good 'un, ER. There is a string of ex Owls managers available.......and Sparky must still have a house in the area .........

            So here we are again.....0-0, 50 Minutes........ more cognac....

            70 minutes..... 0-0....Salah and Firmino on.... back to water now....painfully sobering to watch... God, another Firmino mis-hit...

            Watching this on my feet again....

            So there you are.....0-1.... nothing's shocking now. "Results, not records"......

            Haven't even got the heart to say well done Burnley.... apologies....

              Full empathy Jayne, a quite puzzling situation.

              How comprehensively you beat the Foxes late November.

                I could imagine Jim Gannon having a short fuse somehow.

                Back room bust up my uneducated guess.

                  Think he’s been here longer than that 8th on and off.
                  Culture hmm, the timing is very odd though unless there’s been a major falling out with the owners.
                  It’s been a strange football day what with Liverpool losing to Burnley too but nothing should surprise us.

                    Got to be.
                    He is certainly a fiery character
                    Just feel a bit deflated, new owners spending a lot of money by non league standards, club back to full time, a legend as manager and handily placed in the league but we have to move on

                      What a flipping shame. Come on Stockport, this is a massive moment.

                        OK, then, to save you the bother, I'll say it: WELL DONE BURNLEY! Nice to see an 'unfashionable' club hit the headlines.

                          I like Dychey.

                            Ah! I had to look that up - Sean Dyche, the Burnley manager? I don't know how rich or poor Burnley are compared with the Glamorous Big Clubs, but I bet the club's owners/backers are pretty pleased with him and the team this morning!

                              “It is not enough that I succeed, others must fail”.

                              Now who said this – Genghiz Khan? Gore Vidal?

                              At any rate, whilst I’m pleased that those who compete with Man Utd drop points, I empathise (but not sympathise) with those supporters. I too can feel the pain when MY team loses.

                              So, jlw, sorry you’re feeling down. I don’t know if you go through the same emotions that I do. I don’t mind too much when Man Utd lose having played well, but to lose having played badly?

                              What on earth were Liverpool up to last night? They were but a pale shadow of their former selves. And the next half a dozen games are tough.

                              Credit where it’s due. Burnley defended admirably, didn’t they?

                                I've always thought that the ability to display graciousness in defeat is one of Mankind's finer achievements.
