Tottenham manager Andres Villas-Boas (left) was sacked by Chelsea when his side were defeated by West Brom. Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy was sacked by Wolverhampton Wanderers when losing the Midlands derby match, and Roberto Di Matteo (right) was also sacked by Chelsea after losing to the Baggies. All these in the last 18 months.
Add to this Mike Phelan Hull City and that's just the prem, I think there were a couple in the Championship,
One the QPR manager whose name escapes me after we stuffed them 5-1
NEXT ...........
Update the manager at QPR was none other than John Gregory
Another Chris Hughton Newcastle
Good ain't we
I make that:
Chris Hughton -Newcastle
John Gregory - QPR
Mick McCarthy - Wolves
Andre Villas Boas - Chelsea
Roberto Di Matteo - Chelsea
Roberto Mancini - Man City (we were his last league game, not last opponents)
Paolo Di Canio - Sunderland
Chris Hughton - Norwich
Mike Phelan - Hull City
Nine down one to go for the perfect 10
How about the England manager after a WBA connection?
