Vitor sacked

[Deutsch Wolf]

Would be a ground for suspension due to a breach of contract, pending investigation on a gross misconduct which could involve a long process.

Depends on how boro want to be over the situation if they don't have an agreement with Forum Favourite Jeff Shi.

Clubs don't hold out. Because they can't.

The closest you'll get is Simon Jordan stopping Blues taking Steve Bruce. Nearly 25 years ago, and he still went in the end anyway.

Trivia question.

Other than possibly Sammy Chapman (as no one was sure at the time whether either spell was permanent or caretaker...) have we ever had a caretaker manager come back a few years later as a permanent manager?

I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Niche!

Brian Little was probably close at one point, I bet we looked at him when we sacked Turner and maybe even McGhee.

Bill McGarry remains our only ever two-time permanent manager.

John Ward did a couple of caretaker spells didn't he, not that it counts?

I bet the list of caretakers is quite a good question in itself.

In my time (I didn't see Little):

Peter Shirtliff
Bobby Downes
Colin Lee (became permanent)
John Ward
Stuart Gray
Terry Connor
Rob Edwards
Steve Davis
James Collins

Looking him up, Bobby Downes in late 1995 was only a couple of years older than I am now. Sat next to Taylor here. WTF!

People did not age well then.

Sid Cowans is 36 there.

This was an interesting listen.
