Unfortunately it looks like he has his work cut out at Swindon. Conceding 9 goals so far in the last 2 games, I wouldn't be surprised if he was to be unemployed within the next 24 hours.

He has just signed a contract extension so unlikely I would think.

Nearly all modern managerial contracts, except the very top guys usually have a 'pay up clause', perhaps 6 months money if ever they are sacked irrespective of the length of the signed contract.

Didn't he have a pretty good record before the loss on Friday? All in all it is 6 points lost (maybe effectively 7 with the goal difference) But it is in no way a crisis and would be surprised to see him get the sack

You wouldn't be surprised if he was sacked 3 weeks into a 5 year deal? Really? He hasn't even been doing badly bar the last two games..

I wasn't aware of a 5 year deal, which I find a bit silly considering it's his first managerial position.

I can only assume he is "linked" by his own agent. Why would anyone appoint him?

I have no idea, just get the impression that he thinks that he is much better than he is and seemed very reluctant to take any jobs outside of the Premier League. His failure at Villa may have changed that I guess.

I can never quite understand why, but I've always had an irrational dislike for Swindon Town. It will never be disappointing watching them fail.

Sadly that is exactly how I've always felt about Bournemouth, the arrival and prodigal son return of Smug Eddie just added salt to the wounds.
