Is it me or have the sackings in The Championship been a lot higher than normal at this stage of the season?

Cardiff
Mboro
Stoke
Watford
Huddersfield
Blackburn ?
Birmingham?
Hull

There's probably more, but you can see how twitchy clubs are. Incidentally, MR is over 3 years ahead of his nearest rival, Gary Rowett, in terms of longevity!

Madness, though a very lucrative gravy train if you can get on it.

Yes - my brother says it's the best job in the world for rewarding failure. Steve Bruce has made a fortune out of getting the boot (with probably another pay day to come in the not so distant future).

Simon Weaver at Harrogate for 13.5 years, that’s amazing.

Just Pep and Klopp above Robins in the top two divisions.

Erik Ten Hag is 62nd longest serving manager. 30 managers newer than him. That's incredible.

Jim White and Simon Jordan both said on Talksport earlier this morning that they'd heard Mark Robins was getting the job.

I didn't hear this, but picked it up form the Boro forum. Anyone hear it?

it wont be Rob edwards - bookies dont make a certainty at odds where you can buy money in these markets
it wont be steve cooper, unless he is sacked very quickly - he will not walk
so leaves Robins in the mix

It is a tough one
he can have a relatively quiet life with low expectations here, or if he took the middlesbrough job he would be fired within 12 months if they werent near the play offs

he may back himself, but i dont think so

When the going gets tough, get your agent to link you to other jobs and want a payout for resigning

Prince Abdullah inisted he wanted to keep Wilder at the club and was ‘astonished’ by the request

Despite the rocky goings on and being bottom of the league - albeit not through his own doing, I feel Robins is the safest man in the league. He’ll stay.

To be fair to Simon, he could still be taking over, he’s just been focusing on more important issues recently such as what the Man United manager looks like:

Anyway, Wilder's had a tremendous record everywhere bar Boro, which whilst maybe a tick in the reason-not-to-take-the-job, is also why he'd be top of my list of Robins did decide he'd fancy a new challenge.

He’s now had issues under Gibson and a Saudi prince, throwing his toys out the pram at the first sight of struggle. I’d love to see him try and work here!

Sort of, I could be imagining things but I remember your original posts on this being a little different to 'sell for an 8 figure fee and reinvest'

Transfer Rumour - Viktor Gyokeres - Confirmed 3 Year Deal

Can any of you name a Prem U23 of similar quality who went for less? £1m ish is the going rate for a young player of potential championship standard. People seem to think you can collect young English players for peanuts.

Can’t remember. I’m sure Grendel is on the case!

Is selling your best player to reinvest in the squad really so bonkers though? Seems like we’re all arguing (twice!) over a relatively innocuous hot take. Feels like I’m a few spreadsheet searches away from having to tell everyone how many languages I speak!

Oh yeah I was totally wrong on Gyokeres during his loan spell. You got me, old man!
