Analysis from BBC Radio Oxford after Des Buckingham sacked by U’s

By Total Football News

When a team has won only once in 15 games it might seem strange to talk about the outright shock that cascaded through Oxfordshire within moments of this sacking news breaking.

It is not about Des Buckingham being a local guy – or even the guy that took Oxford into the Championship for the first time in 25 years.

I did a phone-in and, of the 100 or so calls,

Wolves target Vitor Pereira as new manager after Gary O’Neil sacked

By Total Football News

Wolves are in talks with Al-Shabab manager Vitor Pereira to replace head coach Gary O’Neil, who was sacked by the club on Sunday.

The Premier League strugglers are looking for a swift appointment and the money they would have to pay as compensation to secure former Porto and Olympiakos boss Pereira is not believed to be an issue.

Wolves have been assessing their options and have sounded other possible

Wolves: Why as Gary O’Neil sacked?

By Total Football News

O’Neil was well liked and had the loyalty of the players, but the decision-makers saw no alternative. This season’s run of 11 defeats in their opening 16 games continued a worrying trend from the end of the previous campaign.

And O’Neil had already been to the brink once. Sources told BBC Sport there was an acceptance from O’Neil’s team that failure to beat Southampton on 9 November could have been

David Coote: Premier League referee sacked with immediate effect by PGMOL

By Total Football News

The PGMOL first took action against Coote on 11 November following the release of a video on social media, which allegedly showed him criticising Liverpool and their former manager Klopp.

The video appeared to refer a Premier League match that Coote officiated between Liverpool and Burnley in July 2020, which finished 1-1.

Klopp criticised Coote after the game, saying the referee failed to give fouls for challenges made on Liverpool’s

Everton 4-0 Wolves: Fans turn on Gary O’Neil with ‘sacked in the morning’ chant

By Total Football News

The chant about “getting sacked” was not the only one that the irate Wolves supporters directed at their manager. It was one of the most printable, though.

Indeed, the Wolves support rubbed salt into O’Neil’s wounds by singing about former manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who is now in charge at Nottingham Forest.

Wolves finished 14th in O’Neil’s maiden campaign last season, 20 points above the Premier League drop zone, but

Premier League managers were speaking before their midweek Carabao Cup fixtures.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was appointed interim manager and will take charge for Manchester United’s fourth-round meeting with Leicester City, but the club are in talks about appointing Amorim as Ten Hag’s permanent successor.

Ten Hag carried out his pre-match media conference for Wednesday’s EFL Cup tie at Old Trafford (19:45 GMT) following the loss at West Ham – but

Such ambition initially raised expectations of a brighter future at the club. But, as Ratcliffe has admitted, on-field results must improve and, now that the decision to retain Ten Hag in the summer has been exposed as a mistake, there will inevitably be renewed focus on Ineos’ record across their other sports teams.

French club Nice, which Ratcliffe bought in 2019, qualified for the Europa League last season. But in

Ian Foster won just four of his 17 games in charge – only three of those wins came in the Championship

Plymouth Argyle have sacked head coach Ian Foster after just three months in the job.

After an initial good start, Argyle’s form fell away drastically over the past two months as they won just one of 11 Championship games.

The slump has left Argyle one place and one point
