Tis the season to be jolly as Boris said but not for Mr Jolley; unless he is getting a big pay off, which I doubt.Michael Jolley gone from Barrow

Genuinely surprised by this one. Woodgate supposedly only got the job at Middlesbrough on the basis that he was relatively cheap and the chairman liked him. I read somewhere that as a player his nickname was 'village' due to his general lack of smarts. Given that they are in the mix for the play-offs at least it's a massive shout that they aren't at least looking to get an impact appointment in for the last three months of the season. They'll look very smart if it comes off for them, I guess...Jonathan Woodgate gets the Bournemouth job until the end of the season.
He's steadied the ship at Bournemouth (prior to Saturday), but the below suggests 'tactical genius' is unlikely.I'm also surprised about the Woodgate situation. Every time i hear him i try not to fall asleep. He comes across as such a morose, uninspiring personality. He may be a tactical genius but motivation wise, he must struggle getting players up for it, surely?
In isolation it sort of makes sense, given their seemingly public pursuit of Henry; but given the sacking of Tindall seemed to be on the basis of promotion vs. not promotion (I think they were in the final play-off position at the time despite a relatively short poor run), it seems a bit weird for a board to replace a rookie manager awarded a three-year contract, who wasn't doing that badly, with someone with one previous job and a win rate of just over 1 in 5. I can't see how Woodate represents an upgrade?I would think Woodgate at Bournemouth is more down to them not being able to appoint who they want at this time.
He'll get a barrow-loadTis the season to be jolly as Boris said but not for Mr Jolley; unless he is getting a big pay off, which I doubt.
Makes a change from the normal turnstile.Nigel Pearson installed at Ashton Gate.
