I believe that makes him the first manager appointed after Oscar to be fired.

Strange timing. They've given Liverpool and Manchester U a fright in the last two games.

Oh well....:shrug:

Yep, agree, he had got them playing as a team for the first time this season.

Wikipedia says of the new manager Felix Magath:

As a manager, Magath quickly gained respect and became notorious for his hard, grinding training methods, laying heavy emphasis on discipline, fitness and conditioning. Players gave him nicknames like "Saddam" (Saddam Hussein) or “Quälix”, a rhyming mash of his first name Felix and the German verb “quälen” (to torture). He was once described by former Eintracht Frankfurt player Bachirou Salou as the "last dictator in Europe"

Probably a good appointment though.

Mickey Mouse outfit under this new owner.

They always have been. Got lucky with being bankrolled by Al Fayed. They start dropping down the leagues and most of their floating fans will desert them and they'll be back to playing in front of 4k at home as they were pre-Al Fayed.

Any club that in 2014 appoints Ray Wilkins in its management team is quite frankly doomed.
