I can't believe that hasn't been happening, and my only theory as to why Hyypia still has a job is that no one suitable has been found (or no one fancied has agreed to join).
I'm pretty sure Oscar Garcia had the players training in the afternoon, initially at least, because of his belief that with most games at 3pm, it made sense to train at a similar time of day. I can see the logic.
Seems difficult to believe. Pulls has been unlucky in that there hasn't been a single Premier League managerial change yet this season. He'd have a very good chance of getting almost any job outside the top 6, and given his miraculous stint with Palace, any club fearing relegation would have him...
