As the midterm in Championship is coming closer, the clubs that failed to live up to the expectations can see their owners and presidents swarming in their chairs. Some sacks occurred unexpectedly early (Darren Ferguson in Peterborough and Gareth Southgate in Middlesbrough) and these days some other managers had to pack their bags too…

Brian Laws is no longer the boss of Sheffield Wednesday, after the humiliating 0:3 defeat in Leicester. Popular Owls have gone since October 17th without winning – nine straight matches and thanks to the latest defeat and Ipswich’s triumph they slipped down to the relegation zone. The respectable midtable team that were predicted to attack the play-off zone, turned into sitting ducks in the last two months. Ambitious club president Lee Stafford (who assumed the post in January this year when the ownership structure somewhat changed) lost his patience. Brian Laws, the idol of the fans and the players at Hillsborough stadium will have to look for a new job…

A great jump on a corner and a marvelous header. This is by no means a surprise coming from Plymouth striker Rory Fallon. But until few days ago, those kinds of attempts didn’t bring a lot of attention. His club are struggling in Coca Cola Championship, while Fellon himself is far from the desired form.

Even though he scored in Plymouth’s first win of the Championship campaign, against Peterborough United, his season record now stands at two league goals. However, he overcame the difficult situation and came under the spotlight. Fallon scored the winner in the World Cup play-off second leg New Zealand – Bahrein and thus helped Kiwis make it to their second ever World Cup.

Popular “pit-bull” Edgar Davids might get back on football scene and as no less than a Leicester City member. Dutchman’s final decision is expected these days and everyone in Leicester are unanimous about getting this excellent player and winner of many trophies on their side.

The only problem might be the fact that “the flying Dutchman” didn’t have a club for over a year. He finished his last professional season in Ajax jersey and left the club in June 2008. Davids didn’t retire, but didn’t find a club, either, and his form is questionable, as well as his motivation to bite hard and help the Foxes get a chance for the big return to the Premiership.

‘Mr. Nice Guy’, ‘Pinocchio’, ‘a lovely man but a terrible manager’ – these are all the ways former Middlesbrough boss, Gareth Southgate was described. “The Rookie” on Boro bench got sacked even though he was only one point behind the leading teams. In spite of the 2:0 win over Derby, president Steve Gibson made the decision that must be respected…

Straightforward and honest president stated that in his opinion Southgate is not the man able to lead the team to the express return, whereas his heir Gordon Strachan is. Perhaps this decision comes at bad time, but the president must be obeyed. Perhaps the end of last season was a better moment for such a move, when Boro were penultimate in the Premiership and deserved the relegation. This way it seems as Gareth was played.
