A bit strange, they are in a decent enough position in the league. It was a strange appointment at the time i thought considering what he did, or more to point didn't do, at the Sheff Wed.

What has he ever done? Bad appointment in the first place.

Did a decent job at Scunthorpe which got him his "big" move to Wednesday. |

The move up from mucking up Wednesday to the Premier League was baffling... But the justification for his sacking would mean half of the Football League would be looking for a manager right now.

That one is understandable.
With the transfer window about to open I imagine they will be making appointments sooner rather than later.

Wonder if there would have been any interest in Wilson if we were higher in the table? Mickey Adams linked with the Sheffield United job and all that.

I think at the start of the season Burnley will have looked at the league and thought they could go for top two, and play-offs will have been a minimum expectation. At the moment they're not far off, but perhaps they thought it's now or never given that the transfer window is about to open? I think it is a bit harsh, but I can kind of understand it.
As for Ferguson, it was coming.

Pretty much I think. If you're not going to give your manager until the end of the season then you're probably better off making the push now than you are a week into february.

Phil Brown to Burnley is done and dusted apparently.
This could be the beginning of the end for PNE's recent revival. Almost nailed on for relegation, massive money problems and a real lack of quality in the squad.

Preston will not be getting any more Man U players on loan any time soon then.

As far as I can tell, they based his appointment on the fact that he started his career with Burnley 30-odd years ago and not much else  |

Laws came out well on top supposedly. Bearing in mind he did well with Scunny and kept the Wendies afloat when they were a complete basket case, that's probably fair enough. |
