Yeah, not too surprising. It was either going to be amazing or a disaster... and it was the latter. At least the board have come to the conclusion quickly rather than let it drag on.
I forgot until they mentioned it on Sunday Supplement this morning, when he left Swindon, he broke back in the middle of the night, and took pictures of stuff.
This is going to upset so many people, they were so hoping it would David Moyes to be sacked first this season.
I think his comments last night may have got himself sacked, by admitting the team hadn't gelled yet. Whilst not being your typical manager, one thing is for sure he got things right in his first job and was leading Swindon up the leagues.
Whilst I think it may be too early to sack someone, better to do it now I guess than leave it till Christmas where I can't recall a manager coming in and making a significant difference recently in the top flight

To put into some perspective, Sunderland are only 6 points behind united!
There was an article after interviewing Ji Dong Won in the S Korea news (he was led to tears after a huge bust up after he missed a chance against Arsenal I think) who said that at least a dozen players completely ignore him and anything he tries to implement in training they refuse to do.
Don't think names were given but they said an English core was part of it too
Will try and find link
the journos kept saying that he did the job last year in keeping them up.. I can't be sure, but weren't they just outside the bottom three when he took over last season anyway?
If the reasons for his sacking is more than just bad results (and I believe it is, because of his man management of players) then sacking him now (even if they have only had 5 games) is the right decision.

he would have lost that dressing room weeks ago.
His man management skills are a joke!
Notice Di Matteo has been mentoned, i guess hes available.
This season is already a write off for them.

It's unclear how much control he really had over transfers. But it seems the players really hated him.
