Abstract

Mid January 2010 sees the familiar trend of football managers parting company with their clubs repeating itself. So far this season, twenty three managers have been dismissed and six have resigned (Mark Robins: Rotherham to Barnsley, Paul Lambert: Colchester to Wycombe, Gary Waddock: Aldershot to Wycombe, Hans Backe from Notts Co., Owen Coyle, Burnley to Bolton and Paul Hart from QPR. The predictable cull of football managers, often after brief periods in charge of their respective clubs, is sometimes greeted with sadness but often with relief and — even — joy by fans. Football’s “sack race” seems to have become as much of a spectacle as the matches the manager presides over. At a recent Ipswich Town match, the Sky summarizer commented that more cameras were focused on Roy Keane’s reactions from the dugout than on the match action.
